[Blindtlk] you're a liability!

Sun May 31 23:06:19 UTC 2009

Hi Ray,

Thanks for your message. I actually don't think it was his security people, 
nor a worker at the Waffle House who gave me trouble. It was security staff 
that the Waffle House hired for the particular event. So it wasn't just a 
restaurant worker, or one of Kid Rock's security, but just someone who was 
hired for the event. I'm not sure if it was a police officer or one of those 
rent a cop dealies. LOL. But yes you're right, he probably wouldn't like it 
at all. One day, I do plan to tell him what happened, when we get to sit and 
talk sometime at length, not because I expect him to do something about it, 
but because I think he'd be interested in knowing the entire story of what 
one person had to go through and was willing to endure to meet him.
