Nope. That's a rather random question to ask a stranger. Why do you ask?

"I was several rows behind you, and your aura was interacting with their auras for most of the night."

Never realized I even have an aura, which is pretty cool in and of itself, but it plays nicely with the band's auras! So I got that little bit of karmic juju going for me.

She wanted you, Flea.

I don't know, man. I seem to be a magnet for weird stuff. Coupla years back, I was talking to a lady after a show who claimed to have some psychic abilities that she didn't quite understand or control. At that moment, the unvoiced thought crossed my mind "OK, if you are such a hot-shot mind reader, what am I thinking right now?" And that thought was, Damn, I'm hungry - haven't eaten for 12 hours. No bullshit, she says to me "Are you hungry?" Now I'm a fucking skeptic about all this, but that was pretty freaky. So much so that I beat a rather respectful and hasty retreat - only room for 1 in my head.

Not to crap in your cornflakes or nothing but come on you're a man and everyone knows we only have like 4 maybe 5 emotions, she had a one in five shot of getting that one. I mean after horny, hungry is the next logical choice.

I concede that you are likely correct, but the prospect of non-corporeal psychic female tentacles infiltrating my noodle was too frightening to respond otherwise.

Dude, the downtown inn is literally .49 miles from the Peel. A 9 minute walk. By the time that you get to your car, get it started, get going and parked at the hotel, and counting a few red lights, that is easily 15 minutes. That is like driving from the Days Inn to the 40 Watt in Athens. C'mon man...

I did see a girl with 2 X's, and she did not seem terribly drunk compared to some people I saw who were wasted and still buying beer. The 1 beer law is strictly enforced when the place is oversold, like Sat night, but I saw Frank Turner at the Peel in Nov and The Peel was only about half full and I was buying 2-3 beers at a time all night. Sat night was a clusterfuck at the Peel, worse I have ever seen. They had to have sold more tickets than a usual sell out. I think that is why they were so strict on people, maybe kicking some people out would help create some room. I had a great time though, great show.
