New friends and co-conspirators
Between shows, I saw Micky standing with a group of people and I went over to say hi. I met Angie, and a couple of people who had come down from Canada, and another girl. I'm sorry I'm so bad with names, or I could tell you exactly who they were! I was comparing Styx pins with the guy from Canada. He was wearing one shaped like a guitar, and I think he also had a Roboto pin, and I had on my red, white and blue striped logo pin. Artifacts from the past!
The first five or six rows of this venue, like last night, were about sixty seats wide with no aisles. We were standing at the end of the row near the front, and after a while one of the staff came over and asked if we all had tickets in that area. We actually did, so we split up and went back to them.
As we got closer to show time, the woman next to me (who had given up her camera batteries earlier) asked me if I minded if she smoked, even though the venue was non-smoking. I told her I didn't mind. I really didn't, but also I figured if she got upset about me having a camera later, we could just agree to not turn each other in!
