Things got better.
Tonight during the "Ask Amanda" section of the evening, one of the questions was "will your merch girl make out with me?"
"Sure... I mean, if you're a hot lesbian!" Amanda responded.
I blushed. I thought it was Dakota, but she said no. Finally, after I'd sold my last t-shirt of the evening, a beautiful, dark young girl stood quietly on the other side of the table. She awkwardly explained that she was the one who asked the question.
Of course I kissed her. She was sweet and hesitant and it was... perfect. And the perfect antidote to the self-questioning that comes with a unrequited crush.
...
During the show, Amanda said that if someone gave the Danger Ensemble $500, she would show her tits. Sure enough, a quiet, charming man with a boutineere brought five crisp $100 bills to the merch table and gave them to Steven. Amanda cued up the dance remix of Coin Operated Boy and called all of us up on stage. We jumped around like we were at a rave while she took her bra off. Everyone screamed. The man with the boutineere raised his glass to us from the back. It was perfect.
...
I laughed and joked and talked about sex with my compatriots. The bus generator is creating a comforting vibration. I am in my coffin-like bunk, swaddled in a blanket, exhausted but happy. It is perfect.
Love,
Beth
Merch got better to... my per head went down, but I am getting in the rhythm and I figured out how to make my count out from the other night make sense.

But today? This post? Made me giddy with joy. I'm going to try to get down to one of the Boston shows - but I can't pin-point why this made me so happy. Maybe it's because you kissed the dark haired girl? And I always wondered what would happen if I asked that same question?
I'm setting aside two keys for you, for the Boston show. One of them I wasn't so sure about, but now I am.
Your previous post, 'Anonymous letter...' made me reanalyze my own sexuality recently. Thanks. I needed that.
love.

And I only wish that I was that dark young girl.

Megan.

It's great to have the 'this is perfect'-feeling.
By reading about your night, I actually got a bit of that feeling.
It's funny how blogs can affect you!
Keep up the great spirit :)
Hugs,
Eleni

I don't know how you get the energy for these shows, but hopefully you'll save some for us Canadian folk, yes? ;P

(Ironically, while I didn't see it go down, some couple got it on during a Dolls concert in Virginia 3 1/2 years ago. An all-ages show, no less.)

You're even more adorable in person. My e-crush is validated now.

(It must be odd to be indirectly hit on by tens/hundreds of semi-anonymous Internet women on a regular basis... hopefully you don't mind.)

I will be at the Philadelphia show on Saturday (the 22nd). I'm kind of nervous.

I hope you don't mind, but this isn't related to your post at all.
In fact, I've never spoken to you, but enjoy reading your journal.
I just read about these 'locks of love' in South Korea. For some reason it reminded me of your key project and I thought you might be interested ... it's a sweet idea anyways.
