wow...i read the first line and think, i bet this is from that person i heard
about who drove all the way up from st. louis and couldn't get in because it
was sold out...
and to my utter horror, i read on and realize someone had a bad otr
experience because of me...

that would be me...hi, i'm megan...a little red-faced at the moment, but nice
to meet you...

let me interject here for a moment...i didn't hear the ticket part...i thought
you were just ticked off that the bar that said it would be open wasn't open...
and my nephew in florida was trying to tell me at that exact moment when my
sister would be home from work...so trying to listen to two conversations at the
same time is not my best trick...

ok...and here at this point i offer to you and more importantly to your friends
my most sincere and humble apologies...i had no idea the doors were even open...
a little while after you came by, some people just walked in...which freaked me
out because i've never seen that happen before a show before...i'm used to people
waiting outside for hours before canal street shows begging to just come in and
pee and being turned away...

actually, yes...i never even tried it...just grabbed my book and plopped down
for the wait...

i wasn't lying...i was wrong, but i wasn't lying...and in part didn't hear your
question...many misfires in communication all at once...

it irritates me too...because i feel really bad...i'm very sorry...
and rick, i thank you for your endorsement...i try to be a nice
person...and i hate when things turn out bad like that...
so next time, i'll check the door...and next time, i'll tell my nephew to hang
on a sec...
so mister, i'm really sorry about what happened and that it's partly my
fault...please don't throw rocks at me next time we run into each other...i
didn't mean to be stupid...
megan.
