This is the point at which I REALLY want to compare notes... But I know I shouldn't!

This is an interesting question and some thoughts immediately come to mind. Given the proclivity of people to imbibe at these shows, how many people have hooked up and woken up and thought 'oh my god' and not in that good way. On a related note how many have gone home and failed to seal the deal given the amount of imbibing that may have taken place. How many cant recall if the deal was sealed or not? I cant believe its easy hooking up at these shows, specifically because of the focus you need on the band and the moment of being AT THE SHOW. While sex is very much a part of the whole THS mystique, it could be possibly the furthest thing from your mind whilst the show is happening. And then of course, this may not be about sex at all, but I think the term "hooking up" these days indicates that it is. If it just means an acknowledging smile or shared laugh, well then that is all there all the time. But quite an interesting topic Mr. Mike. Carry on.

Doesnt matter. For me "hooking up" is finding a good stream to fish.

But if you want a brave and skilled wingwoman, I am experienced and enthusiastic. This is true. You could add "instigator" to that list.

I'd tell you a story, but I'm lacking. I'd tell you a story but would get A) Slapped B) Arrested C) Banned for indecency. +1 (by which I mean, if there had been police around, we'd have had all three)

I've thought of a couple match-ups before...
and I voted no, cause I haven't. Although meeting a guy at a Hold Steady show would be pretty great.

I have been to two THS shows as a single lady, and no one tried to pick me up. For shame. Admittedly, I wasn't really looking. Though I did flirt with the merch guy at Leeds 2007. It was an American, so I'm fairly sure it wasn't Ben, unless he adopts an accent to talk to ladies. My recent shows have been as a sedate plus-one. But I encourage the US love! *machinations*

Yeah.... my friends are never surprised when I get us into things that never should have happened.... I guess instigator is a good label too. Probably comes partly out of the "skilled" and "brave."
