SETUP
 
I'm assuming that this will be the last time "setup" is even a category. Nonexistant. Easy as pie. I bought a camcorder so I'll finally be able to tape a few shows. Last night was a great start. LOL.

THE REACTION
 
Mama said there'd be nights like this. Beginning of the show, a guy gets right in front and proceeds to sing along with me. AS LOUD AS HE HUMANLY CAN. So loud, I couldn't even mix the freakin' sound. It was such an amazing struggle to sing like that. After the first set was over though, I had to tell the manager to get him out. It was soooo loud. 4 PEOPLE - yes 4, came up to me and said they were sorry but they were leaving because that guy was so annoying. SO SUCKS. The next set was fine...an amazing amount of talking. Usually people just stare at the show dumbfounded 'cause they can't figure some of it out...others think: "eh...seen it before - 'so! you're really gonna do her tonight bob?!'" Oh well, can't please 'em all. Then came Abbey Road....oh wow...Abbey Road.
 
So I'm singing....gettin' into it...have my eyes closed. Open them up...and BAM - drunk lady with her arms apread singing about 3 inches from my nose. Well...I jumped a bit. Started laughing, and couldn't continue. Marty MOOSE comes running up to get her - as she girates around me...and I tell Marty it's cool if she wants to sing with me - but she wouldn't turn around. She just kept girating and singing as her eyes rolled back into her eyes. After a few minutes, I had to signal for Marty. HAD TO. So he comes up, and there's no stoppin' her - she keeps hitting him. It gets a little strange and finally Marty picks her up and carrise her offstage. IT ROCKED! I felt so - RICKY MARTIN! HA! She then proceeds to try and knock Marty out. Yeah...right! THEN! She comes runnin' up the other side - I signal for MOOSE and she yells "BULLLL - SHIIITTT!" really loud. Then not to be deterred her boyfriend comes up and starts telling me to play bob seger. With 3 darts in his hand - "PLAY SEGER". What the fuck? AND - THE CHICK IS ALL ON TAPE! We were reording the whole time! Oh what a night. I was so tired after this gig. HA! Amazing. How the hell do you top that?
