"So, do you like give special sessions to musicians?"

Back story...Said musician asked me what I do for a living - which is that I am a massage therapist and a yoga instructor (for those who don't already know this). Said musician, after getting an explanation on why I was laughing rephrased to, "Do you give massages to musicians?" Much fun was had by all, and it was a great way to start off the fest (they were my first official pick up).

"DUDE YOU GUYS ARE NOT PAGE AND PLANT ENOUGH WITH THE FUCKING KARAOKE AND GET TO THE FUCKING SONG"

Thanks for the correction! That makes it that much more funnier. I guess that is what happens when I am still dragging ass with a headache and dreading having to go through that security there in that airport, then trying to recall it from memory a day later.
