So I had to take BPB Jr. to Greensboro with me last night.... I don't like taking him on my gigs, but his mother who is supposed to have him on the weekends pooped out last minute.
Well, seems that during the day a group of White Supremacist skinheads (an organized group in Greensboro) came in drinking at the bar and apparently got drunk and acted up and were told to leave which they didn't take well. When I got there there were private security people and cops around. Apparently the group called from Cone Hospital to say that the club had poisoned one of their members and after they got the toxicology report they were coming back there armed for battle. Now, these guys are a known and violent group in Greensboro.
I set up with my back to the glass door that's the side entrance. Comforting. And I had my boy with me. We agreed (the owner and I) that if anyone showed up we would put Stephen in the back office right away.
Right at closing they showed up. The cops arrived immediately and there was no trouble while I was still there, but I packed up and got me and Stephen the hell out of there fast.
Today I feel as though I've been run through a freakin' wringer.
Bi- Oh ****..........what an experience. Take a deep breath. How did Jr. handle the situation? You might, when you have relaxed a bit, want to sit down and discuss it with him.
he didnt een know what was going on... had a great time making friends dancing and playing video games. He's real friendly and social.
I wasn't concerned for my own safety but had one eye on the door behind me where people pull up and the other on Stephen all damn night.
stephen is now safely chilling on the couch watching Harry Potter and I'm going to ride my bike and clear the tension. then back to work tonight. It'll be a zoo since tomorrow is not a work day and hopefully no gun play
BPB--
You need this day off.
Post-crisis wipeout is exhausting.
Hold your dominion.

I'm back from my bike ride and fine thanks. how long do I need to be wiped out?
Post crisis wipeout until all the adrenaline dissipates, all of the fat cells around the liver are replaced (that's what your little pot gut is for--fat to be mobilized in case of emergency) and you stop having frequent flashbacks to what-might-have-been.
well that would be a nice thing to relax and do.... but I have a show tonight.
I'll sleep in tomorrow.
BPB--
Recovery doesn't depend on relaxing as much as overpainting the high tension memories with calmer ones.
A show last night is probably excellent therapy. The roar of the greasepaint, the smell of the crowd....
nothing quite that dramatic... :wink:
