PholkTales: Encounters With the Band
hello y'all. not a long story, but here it goes. i was at a rather small, shitty club called toad's place (ct), and pork tornado was performing that night. right after the opening band finished, i decided to go downstairs and see if i could meet fishman with my friend tiff. tiff and i went downstairs and noticed a large crowd in front of the band's dressing room. there was the stereotypical, meat-head bouncer pushing people out of way. 

while he was busy navigating some chickenhead, hippie girls away from the door, we made our move behind him. while scoping the room, the bouncer turned around and saw us. we quickly saw an empty room, scurried inside, and locked the door. the bouncer started slamming on the door and telling us to come out. this lasted about 5 mins. we remained in the room for about another 10 mins until we thought the coast was clear. by this time, we were sick of the adventure and we just wanted to see the show. 

there were a number of doors, and we weren't sure which one we came in (we were kinda drunk). so i randomly picked one, and to my surprise, found the band chillin. i looked around and to my immediate right was fish. it took me by surprise, and the grand speech i had planned only came out as... "ughhhhhhhh....hi!?" he said "hi" back and continued talking to some very attractive young woman who must of been his wife (wink, wink). 

tiff asked him if he wanted to smoke a spliff, but he said he was alright... he had been drinking long island iced teas all night long. she said "cool" (even though she was obviously disappointed), and we stood there a while longer. a few minutes later, we started feeling awkward, so we took off. to cut the story short, the band played a killer jungle boogie, i danced a lot, and that was about it. the end. wow, that took longer than i expected.
