We arrived early the morning of and pulled around back of the venue to grab some shut eye. Next thing I know, we're being surrounded by tour vehicles and all the band/crew starts piling out to go inside and eat breakfast. So I joined them. Sat next to Fat Mike and nobody batted an eye. I told him I'd need a few passes later if my local friends ended up showing.

Stood center front awaiting Bad Religion to come on and talked with this kid, who was a huge BR fan, so I acted dumb and said I'd never heard of them. As Jay Bentley came out to set cabling, I yelled to him and tossed my instant camera his way/asked him to take our picture. He did. The kid next to me was in shock.

Afterward, as I was drinking a beer and talking with Jay, this obnoxious woman came up and interrupted us, asking for a signature, I believe. So I poured my beer over her head.

Later, I'm backstage and manage to flag Mike down. He hands me a small stack of passes, reconsiders, then takes two back, leaving me with three.
