One of my best DMB concert stories ever-
I am working in NYC for 2 days that week, scheduled after concert sold out. I am staying in our corporate efficiency apt right across from the Empire State Building (about a block from MSG). I believe the concert is actually Thursday the day I need to fly home.
On way back to apartment I stop at Stout to grab a bite to eat and they're playing DMB, pregaming heavy. I'm in a suit and ask a kid about the show and he's like dude, its in about an hour! I'm like "you fucking idiot"... I scrounge through my pockets and find $133, which was way less than face value. I start scrounging the area and find this young hippie girl crying cause she doesn't have enough money, blah , blah... so I offer my money to a guy for her ticket and he just hands her one and walks away... I'm like
"Do you want your money? Do you have more tickets?!!"
Guy is like running away. I yell, "C'mon buddy, I'll buy a ticket if you have an extra!" He turns around and yells at me like 3x - "DO YOU NEED A TICKET??!?!? " and hands me the one I scanned in....
I'm like "FAKE" - I blame all you skeptics from DMBc
I run right in and it works!! No fucking way...
As I go in I am escorted to VIP were they bring me Jack Daniel's and kept it fresh all night.
Julia Roberts sat in front of me- she's fucking gorgeous and went nuts for Spoon. I was surrounded by yappers, it was annoying as all hell...
I recall Dave saying something about the talkers, cause I cheered...
