1020: Count Me In

[dEadERest]

Out for a walk, I heard this show, silly smile on my face . . wonderful.
The show in NH was a Halloween show, many people in costumes, with bJason's band playing. I showed up late, I had a skeleton mask, a silly eyeballs-on-stalks ski hat and a FreeTalkLive bowling shirt, so as to annoy keet cuz in those days they were vying for most popular podcast on the alley (no longer an issue).
So, I walk up to the table where BroLo, bJason and his brother and maybe a couple more are sitting and I wave a $20 at keet motioning him to get up and dance with me. This goes on for a minute, I try to pull him up, everyone's laughing, it was all fun, I then stuff the bill in his pants, roughly, not fucking around, peels of laughter, I then kinda dance away, point over my shoulder at the logo on the back of the shirt, keet is like,"Oh fuck you!", beautiful.
So, then, cuz of the whole staring thing, I stand up by the bar and just stare at him, which makes him uncomfortable, he motions for me to come back over, I stand still and stare. Finally he gets up, comes over, as he gets close, I take off the mask, put my arms out and give him a big hug. I then proceed to tell him how much I love what they're doing, how I appreciate the focus on standups, etc. I then spend the rest of the evening hanging out, I bought 1 round but they wouldn't let me buy any more. I don't mess with DUI so I was done. The taxi convo totally went down like that. I offered to drive them to their hotel which I did. As we got to my '97 Caravan (I am dad) they both noted, " . . hmm, no KATG stickers . . " BroLo, " . . no Brother Love stickers either . . " he reaches in his wallet and hands me a few. I should have offered to take them to my house as I had libations and medicine and if i remember correctly they said they were stuck drinking in the hall. I went back to the club and had a blast listening to UneXpect whose CD I bought, fierce and crazy tight. Another mistake I made was not introducing myself to Chemda who was standing in the foyer surrounded by her grrl crew trying to figger out where to go to eat.
Anyway, I thought it was a fun story to retell, my loyalty will never be swayed, I won't bother to explain the other stuff he said about me, skewed and silly as it all is, I was, truly, honored, KATG forever. Now, I'm gonna go donate another $20.

edit: I meant to add this, PM from keet after I PM'd about his ranting on NH and how nice it was to meet him:

The way you tell it, you were a regular Chris Rock.

No one was laughing. It's important that you know that.

[dEadERest]

I'm flattered that you care so much to clarify.

Shit dude, you have to do more to explain why you'd think he'd like you if this is really how you were behaving because it's a mystery to me. You know that even when his best friends act like jackfucks he gets pissed off and calls them on it, I don't get why you'd have expected him to give you special treatment and cut you a break.

I forgot if you apologized already or not but I really can't see how you think posting this is going to get anyone on your side, it seems more like you're shooting yourself in the foot.

[dEadERest]

hmmm, foot shooting . . I care why?
I spent the evening at their table, we had beers and leered at nipple-paistied strippers, had some laughs, I drove them to their hotel. That was that evening. I don't care what keet thinks about me and I'm sure not gonna "fix" it here. I listen, I post, I donate, I sent them a gift, I send him occasional emails for my entertainment, I have no issues and am happy to have been show fodder. I appreciate your concern but, seriously, no worries.

I don't know man, why bother taking the time to write and post it if you don't actually give two shits?

I obviously mistook it as you somehow trying to stick up for yourself against Keith dissing you in public. If you don't care, then fine, no worries.

First, that's a lie. And if it wasn't, it shows you're an asshole.

Why should you care? Because only assholes really don't care.

You sound like a fun guy.
