You have to picture the lead singer, John V. if you know who he is, standing up there with his back to me, arms folded across his chest, slowly shaking his head back and forth.

I try so hard to ask the person if they're okay, but they don't believe I really care because I'm crying so hard...from laughing!<br /><br />Thanks for sharing. You are a real trooper!

Now, on to the embarrassing story...<br /><br />Back in the day when I was going to Clearwater Beach regularly to see Sequel, a band called Stormbringer was also playing there and one night I went out to see them. I knew them almost as well as I did the members of Sequel, particularly the keyboardist, John Zahner.<br /><br />During a break, John told me he wanted me to see his new keyboard, and we both climbed up onto the stage (which was about 2 or 3 feet above the dance floor) and he started showing me all the things it could do. We must have lost track of time because the next thing I knew, the entire band was back on stage and ready to play.<br /><br />I didn't have any other way off the stage than back the way I came, and I didn't have room to sit down on the edge of the stage and scoot off, so I chose to hop off, which would have been fine if my foot hadn't hooked the lead singer's mike cord, sending the mike stand tumbling to the floor and his mike skittering across the dance floor. <br /><br />So there I am on the empty dance floor in a full night club, on my hands and knees, and here comes this huge bouncer, who proceeds to ask the band if they knew me. Luckily, they took pity on me and said yes. I skulked back to my seat and never set foot near that stage again.<br /><br />Is that embarrassing enough?Krysnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4650695048667568375.post-64547204559152068772010-05-17T19:19:16.260-04:002010-05-17T19:19:16.260-04:00Maybe that's what I need, Beth.

All the kids would try to sneak into my yard and I would scare the mess out of them. Then I could dress and talk any way I want!

Way too tall and with willy nilly branches sticking out all over. Meanwhile our neighbors have beautifully maintained flower beds. *sigh* Our backyard is a complete embarrassment, but at least it's hidden by a tall fence. :) <br /><br />Looking forward to your 'after' pics. <br /><br />Sounds like you had a great time at the conference.

You'...Oh, what a sweet garden, Elle. *snicker*<br /><br />You'll probably curse me to Hades, but we have the most beautiful roses and flowers blooming at my house right now. I'd love to lie and claim that it's all due to my green thumb, but you already know that I kill every plant I touch. Landscaping is totally my hubby's department.<br /><br />You'll do great on your synopsis. After all, you have a fantastic story on your hands. Just remember to stay upbeat (in between cussing like a sailor), while trying to condense your whole story into 2 or 3 pages.Alyson Reubenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10233804636662093697noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4650695048667568375.post-86044660081461696602010-05-17T17:16:42.393-04:002010-05-17T17:16:42.393-04:00Don't look at them as weeds, look at them as w...Don't look at them as weeds, look at them as wildflowers!
