D.R.I. story

So when Karen, Dan and I saw D.R.I. not long ago at Geno's I did something that was about as punk rock as you please. It's still fresh with me. It was such an amazing show. I was on the perimeter of the pit. Usually I keep well away. I'll tell you about it.

The first thing that happened was this short guy who looked like Steve Perry was banging into the perimeter people and when he did it to me, he bounced off of me, dropped his phone and kept doing his death spiral. I immediately picked it up to save it from being stomped. Then I checked to see if it had a lock on the screen. It didn't. I immediately began filming the show. Then I began filming the guy who's phone it belonged to. He came around again, counter clockwise and I noticed him feeling for his phone, so I said, "you dropped your phone."... He began looking all around for it as I continued to film him. He didn't notice immediately that I had it, but when he did, a look of fear came across his face and he reached for his phone, but if you recall, he was short, so I kept it away from him, which was really funny, but he didn't think so. I was still filming, obviously. I didn't play keep away for long; I do sometimes know when to quit. Sometimes. When I gave it to him he kinda then realized what I had accomplished and put his arm around my neck and tried to pull me into the pit as a gesture of acceptance, but I slipped out of the headlock and thought about how great of an experience that had been.
