Asking Permission - Soundboard

This guy's bloc party story inspired me to figure out what my batting average was in terms of getting 'board'. i'm only counting times i actually asked either a band member or the soundman.

3 in 1

hmmm now this is interesting. i could actually do 3 shows in one day. on saturday april 1st i could probably do:

2:30-5ish? Metric
7:00-10:00 Isis
10:00-1:00 Part of Islands if i'm lucky + Metric.

however the metric late show is sold out now...

not really funny, unless...

my sociology class had a new TA. so we went around doing introductions.

TA: everyone go around tell me your field of study and hobby
Me: i'm working on an engineering degree after getting a degree in compsci. technically i guess i'm in my 7th? year. hobbies... oh i do videography.
TA: (somewhat confused) ok i don't what that is, explain.
Me: i film concerts and things.
TA: you can do that? (translation: isn't that illegal?)
Me: sometimes... (translation: sometimes)
TA: (short pause for processing the response) ....ok.
