Now Playing: Alkaline Trio "This Is Getting Over You"
Last night was a perfect night, until it took a tragic turn for the worse that may result in me losing my job.
After watching a stellar performance by Alkaline Trio, my buddy Case ran backstage to talk to the band. I declined to join him because House of Blues policy states that employees are not allowed backstage. So, Case chatted with the band for a minute and told them that I was a huge fan, but I was an employee here and was afraid to come back stage. They told Case to come get me and bring me back...they gave him permission to do so, and said they'd love to meet me. So, we strolled back into the green room. I was wearing my Dead Milkmen "Big Lizard In My Backyard" shirt, and Matt Skiba said "man, that shirt is really fucking cool." So we chatted about the Dead Milkmen for a few minutes, and I gave him one of my Big Lizard Records shirts (hopefully he'll wear it). I had 2 of the 3 members sign my Alkaline Trio show poster. We chatted for a few more minutes before we took off. As I was walking ot of the Green Room, our asshole head of production got in my face and asked me what I was doing backstage. I told him the band invited us down, so I came down to meet them.
"Well, in clearly states in the employee handbook that employees aren't allowed backstage."
I told him I was aware of that, but the FUCKING BAND invited me down.
He said it still didn't matter and I was not to be back there at all. He then proceeded to radio Frank and rat me out.
Fucking cockface.
So, as I'm leaving the venue, Frank stops me. Apparently the tour manager decided he wanted the show poster, so Frank asked me to give it back. I said that I was just backstage and the band signed it an no one had asked for it. Frank took it anyways and said if they decided they didn't want it, he'd give it back. Then Frank asked me if I told our production guy that he gave me permission to go backstage. I said no, but I did tell him that Frank gave me permission to be in the skybox.
Frank said "ok, well I'll talk to him later."
Great.
So, if Production cocksucker decides to be an ass about this, I could get fired.
So, not only did I lose my signed Alkaline Trio poster, but I may get fired too.
What the fuck????
