This is Cracker Soul!

Ok, so I had a great weekend! How about everyone else? I started the weekend out with a live music concert on Friday night! I went to this little club down off of Red River and 10th st. called the Mohawk. It is a small little place but the stage was outdoors like on a patio. They had 2 upper levels with seating around tables on the 2nd level and couches and easy chairs on the 3rd level.
I hauled my fat ass up to the 3rd level for comfort and a great view of the whole club! I went with Jana, her very inebreiated husband, Dale, Polly from Hobbs,New Mex., Trina from Naples, Fla., Madison, Polly's daughter, Gail, and Kaylee, Jana and Dale's teenage daughter who came with some of her teeenage friends, and last but not least Drew, a friend of Madison's who we all love to pieces. He is probably about 22-24 yrs old. Ok, so the girls, Polly, Jana, Gail, Madison, and Kaylee and crew all headed to the front of the stage to hang out. Dale, Trina, and Drew all joined me on the 3rd deck for relaxing and libations.
The first band came out and Dale was in fine form! He was up by the railing which was right over the band and he was dancing his little heart out and having a big old time, I tell ya! He gets a little gropy when he gets drunk and wants to pet on ya, so of course, he was petting on me. He likes my long hair and will twirl it around and rub my shoulders and tell me how much he loves me!Whatever! At least, we weren't in the pool! LOL!
He was so funny though because he was doing this dance where he would cast out his fishing line and then reel it back in! Madison was down there acting like the fish he was reeling in and he was pretty much entertaining the whole crowd since he was right there above the band like I said.
Anyways, when Cracker started to play he could not contain hiself and ran downstairs to be behind the "girls". Trina by this time was sacked out on one of the couches "resting". Drew went downstairs to the bathroom and now I am left up there on my own, so to speak, to take in what followed... now stay with me because remember, I can see everything and have been imbibing my own self.
I see Dale down there flouncing all over the place but now he is in the crowd some of which are not as happy or drunk as he is. He is falling all over them and this one guy has a camera in his hands and is attempting to take photos. He also has a girl with him who is getting a beating from Dale and his moshing abilities!
The guy says something to Dale. I assume asking him to calm down and let his girlfriend continue to stand there as well as himself. I see Dale screaming at this guy. Probably something obnoxious as drunks do. I see the guy flinch like he is afraid Dale is gonna smack him and then I see the girl go flying backwards after gettin the elbow from Dale. All on accident I think?
Anyways, the girls are still up front and are oblivious to the whole scene behind them. Then I see the crowd parting and here comes security to the front and the guy is talking to Dale who is now screaming at this little guy. He is a young guy with dreads and glasses. He is now trying without much luck to pull Dale thru the crowd! Dale is fighting him and another bigger guy, the bouncer steps in and puts Dale in a neck lock and drags him to the back! He drags Dale thru the crowd kicking and screaming.
One of kaylee's friends see this and tells Kaylee who goes running back to see what the deal is. She is told that her Dad is drunk and has to leave! She says everyone in here is drunk and why they gotta be picking on him! LOL! Then she runs back up front and tells Jana the deal and the look on Jana's face was priceless. It said I am so pissed off! This better be good!
I see her go outside to stand by Dale and talk to the bouncer who tells her he has to leave the premises. In the meantime he is still yelling and carrying on and a cop car pulls up. She tells him to calm down and asks the bouncer if she can go back in. He tells her yes and she comes back in and is up front again. Drew ,in the meantime, comes literally running upstairs hollering that Dale is going to jail. Trina in the meantime is asleep on the couch and gets rousted by the waiter to wake up. When she hears Dale is going to jail she gets up and runs downstairs to tell the gang who are still enjoying the concert! Little did she know the whole thing had just transpired. Gail then goes with Trina outside to find Dale and the 3 of them walk to Gail's car and bring it to park in front of the bar.
Trina gets carsick on the way and once they get back she pukes and then passes out on the hood of the car. Gail comes back in to the front of the stage and Dale stands in the street yelling "take some more pictures!" and "reggae redneck" to any and everyone.
At one point I did see him talking to a female cop who he later told me was hitting on him because she wanted his phone number. I asked him if she wanted to know where he lived too and he said she did! LOL!
I had about the most fun I have had in forever just watching the whole thing unfold! I kept waiting for Dale to get thrown in jail for PI or Trina to get hauled in too for the same reason but they were allowed to just be! Gotta love a weekend night full of drunks!
After the show we all piled into the cars to go back to Jana's house. I was laughing so hard all the way home listening to Dale's version of the events. Needless to say, Drew who had no idea what he was in store for now has a man crush on Dale. Why I don't know!
All I know is I had to leave at 1:30am because I had patients to see the next morning! I went by to see everyone Saturday afternoon but they were all drinking again and I was done with all of that! I had to go home to bathe and rest up! When I left Dale was telling Drew we don't tell stories, we make them!
