Not only did Krissi win us free tickets for the Cake show at the New Daisy in Memphis, she Ate Cake to Meet Cake! Here's the story, copied from my telling of it in chizat..
- - - -
well we got to the new daisy theater and went in to see the first band.. when time came to be next door to meet the band we went to leave, and were told "If you leave you cant come back in." well, I figured screw it, we'll go see cake. so. we went next door and stood in front of the bar where we were suppsed to go, and there were some radio station guys standing there. we chatted for a minute, then they all walked away, and so there's krissi and I standing on the sidewalk in front of this bar.
so we're like "Uhm, wtf" concerned now that we may get screwed somehow out of seeing the band, I asked one of the guys standing at the door of this bar, and said we were supposed to see the band. he asked if we were with the other radio station.. we said no, he said he only knew about the other station. so we began to go find our radio people who had vanished.. halfway across the street, the door guy whistles, he flagged down the promotion director for the other station, who came out and was like "You guys come on in". so krissi and I and about 10 or so other folks sat on the side patio of the bar and waited until cake showed up. there was an autograph signing and picture taking.. as that is wrapping up and people are about to go back next door for cake to play, I'm wondering who to ask to be sure we can get back into the daisy. there's a girl who seems to be telling everyone where to go and what to do, and so I talk to her, turns out she's with "Sony" dont know if it's THE sony or not, but she's like someone important. I describe our plight, unable to return for the show which we won free tickets for... and she's like "yeah, they suck. if they dont let you in, tell them to talk to me." I get her name and we head next door. by this time I'm a bit peeved, as it's big fat rednex sitting at the door, and I'll be damned if anyone is gonna tell me I cant see a show that we won tickets to.. we get to the guys at the door, one of whom is the big fat guy who told krissi that if she leaves she cant come back in. another guy is standing there with him, and I say "We're on the guest list" the other guys takes one look at us and says "Yeah I remember y'all, go on in."
Then the show was great :)
Here's pics!
