“The door guy outside is giving Lorin a hard time getting through the back door. Even after explaining to him that Lorin is the headliner, he still gives the shaky head. Luckily, one of the techs on tour with Lorin shows us in the back door and we duck inside, straight downstairs to the dressing room. Suddenly we notice the door guy has followed us in and realize he doesn’t work at the venue at all. Instead of throwing him out, Lorin grabs three Maker’s Mark whiskeys and we’re toasting to the night. As quick as we’re down there the excitement moves upstairs to prepare for the three hour set. After a confrontation with the tour manager, the imposter door guy’s presence is in jeopardy. His only escape is back into the mess of wild ravers. With a quick handshake and thank you to Lorin he is escorted to the main floor saying “My friend’s are never going to believe this. “”
I was the door guy!
