Well the most "DP" thing I did was go into the Western with a girl with "Atomic Pink" hair on my arm. When I told the cab guy at Wynn that I wanted to go to the Western he gave me a big old "What !"

You really want to have some adventure in town, wear a black t shirt and black pants and a backpack this setup might get you backstage for the larger concerts.
Do not try this at small venues. It helps to act and look tired and bored.

Just get ready to lug a few Ampeg SVT-810E's around. Just 140 lbs of "Heavy" bass sound. Don't forget the small flashlight for seeing around backstage and making your way through the crowd.

I used to show up at the gigs with the security guys (hang out about 3hrs. before the show)
they'd take one look at me and hand me a security t-shirt
sometimes I'd actually work the gig.
I know the law. And I have spent my entire life in its flagrant disregard.

It's very strange...I think they call that Lookism.

It's how I used to be able to move around very easily from situation to situation in the underworld though sometimes shit would happen....the Angels are by far the most paranoid. Had one run away from me.

Now I'm old and losing that presence....but it was fun while it lasted.

I should talk...I still think I might be taken out.

Is that being paranoid?

Walk with purpose and you can get through most situations.

The best was scaring the shit out of a couple of undercover cops......you could see the animal fear in their eyes. Then they started taking pictures a few days later....the bastards.

The cops do surveillance on people who don't deserve to be harrassed and they let the dirtiest criminals go unscathed because they are the ones killing for the police.

I could go on and on.

how many times do you need to be told not to swallow if you're swimming in urban environments?
