Worth the Price of Admission II

My cuz, Elizabeth suggested that perhaps this title had to do with seeing Guy Forsyth. I don't think so as it was written before I saw him on the 6th but it reminded me of a nice story. I did see Guy at the famous Antone's while I was in Austin. It was my first time at Antone's. I liked it okay, but it's kind of cavernous. Guy was great as usual. He had a new CD so I picked that up. I did have an interesting New Yorker on vacation experience there. I ordered a beer at the bar. The bartender set it in front of me and said $2 please. Two dollars!! I was in shock. I felt like he had given it to me. I drank that beer with an entranced, dopey smile on my face. It took me awhile to get back into Guy's playing; as I was too busy thinking about my $2 beer.

Lesbians think I am Hot

While listening to Guy there was, well, a guy next to me for most of the night. We chatted a little here and there. I went to the restroom and when I came back "Angela" was between him and my barstool. So I sat down and said hello and started listening to Guy. We exchanged pleasantries and she offered to buy me a $2 beer which I cheerfully accepted thinking how cool it is for girls to be friendly enough to meet and chat in a bar and how extremely cool it was to be empowered enough to buy each other beers. DUH. She wanted me. She thought I was hot and said as much as we were leaving the bar after the last set. This got me frustrated on two levels. 1) How can I be so savvy in some areas and so dumbfounded in others. She wasn't buying me a beer to be friendly. She was buying me a beer to be "friendly". 2) Son of Gun!! I finally meet a perfect gentleman and it's a WOMAN. In Texas. God cracks me up. She has a really sick sense of humor if you ask me.
