"like a bowling ball hitting pins"......There was a half step (the stairs were
black and they had turned the lights down) that went into the backstage area...I caught the half step with my boot, reached for the rail that I could not seem to find, rolled down the stairs and struck the band with my body as they were standing there waiting to get on stage.
I knew it would take seconds for the bouncers to get there to throw me out as this place was notorious for getting rid of prospective lawsuit candidates...So I dusted myself off, apologized to all standing there in shock, and said "don't let them kick me out" as this band had major pull with this venue..being who they are..And sure enough, as I got done saying that security had me by the elbow, and I was actually defended by my favorite rock band. "let her stay maan".
The bouncer said no!! She's got to go!
By the time we got up stairs he let my arm go, and let me stay. It's a good thing, because I was the one that pressed the place to have the band there, and they had a great turn out...So all is well that ends well......
Of course I still feel stupid..The stupid part is, when I fell I was moving out of someone else's way as a courtesy so they could see the band get on stage..
No more favors!!
