Sorry, EQ, just consider it a love tap.

Pt 8
It was at Fat Annie's that I realize that the final show fan get togethers would not go as I imagined they would. I had imagined that I would be able to have some really in depth discussions with a lot of nutters in a way that posting at SC.net would never allow. Just too many people for that to happen. But I realize that that's ok. I'm there with one of my oldest and dearest friends (Vermonfan) and surrounded by multitudes of Police/Copeland fans. Just soaking in the party atmosphere is good enough. I decide to enjoy the experience for what it is regardless of what my expectations were. And I'll tell you, just being there was really fucking fun.
So I decide to head back to MSG to get into the pit line. Before I get to the Pit line, I pass a security guy near a barrier. He's not even looking my way when I pass him. I later discover that this was the only security check I would encounter the entire evening. This was the more lax security of ANY show I had seen on this tour. I would have had a whole recording studio and IMAX camera with me. Amazing.
Once in the pit line, I get to chat more with some of the Nutters who will be in the pit. A little confession. I was intimidated by Pecos. She was REALLY REALLY nice and seemed very approachable but I was nonetheless intimidated. She was the real deal. The uhrl Nutter, as she would later demonstrate. I wish I could have gotten over it and spoken to her more.
The crowd here was a bit more subdued, which was more conducive to better conversations. However, then St. Jeff arrived at the scene. Sooooo nice. Seemed just like another Nutter. A Nutter who works closely with The Man, but another Nutter nonetheless. He tells a story how the equipment caught on fire during soundcheck.
At first, I am under the misunderstanding that the fire started while the Boys were playing AC/DC's Back in Black. However, I am later corrected. It was Danny, Dennis, and Jeff playing Back in Black when the fire started.
There is some obvious Flag confusion while Jeff is out there. He needs dimensions of the flag for when they display it on stage. However, at no point do I see the flag measured. also, the flag remained in Kellie's possession even after Jeff left, which confused me, but I am getting ahead of myself. While Jeff is still there, he is busy talking will all the Nutters, so I don't bother him with asking to have a pic taken with him. However, Vermontfan manages to take a pic with me next to him.
Right after that, Tamadude give me his camera and asks if I could take a picture. I assume that he means a pic of him next to Jeff like Vermontfan did for me. I was about to take the picture of Tamadude and BongoBoy right next to Jeff when Tamadude stops me and says, "Not of that, of us" indicating to him and Bongo Boy. I'm kind of surprised by this, but I heed Tamadude's wishes and take his pic with Bongo Boy.
Before long, Jeff leaves with Vespapod for treatment on his foot. We all return to our regularly scheduled waiting in the cue. Dietmar is particularly anxious. He is separated from the rest of the cue near the entrance of the venue waiting for the word of when we can be let in. It won't be long now.
TO BE CONTINUED . . .

Pt 9
The people at MSG somehow let us know that we can start lining up inside right near the turnstiles, essentially. There are two lines and I decide to be in the line opposite from the one Dietmar is at the head of. I am the second person in my line.
Its funny how high the tension is at this point. My friend Vermontfan says he's going to go back to Fat Annie's to party with the other Nutters as there is no reason to go in so early since he does not a pit ticket. However, shortly after he leaves, I call him on his cell to see if he could bring something back to the hotel room so I don't have to keep it in my pocket during the concert. Little do I know but this call sets off a mini-panic with some non-pit nutters. My request for Vermontfan to come back to the line is misinterpreted as a call for help as if something had gone wrong. I later learn that Vermontfan and Tamadude quickly trade cell numbers "just in case." When I give the item to Vermont fan to bring back to the room, I get just an "Oh."
But then near disaster actually strikes.
I see Dirty Martini digging through her stuff. I see Skaman running around looking for something. Dirty Martini has lost her Pit Ticket!! (sorry Kel if you wanted to keep this part of the story hush hush, but . . . .) In the crazy stress with dealing with the flag's appearance at the final show, Kellie must have misplaced or dropped her ticket. FUUUUUUUUUUUUUUCK!!! Various Nutters assure her that she was going to get in regardless because if any of us was going to get in, she was going to. Moeskido then does what he has to do - he gives Kellie his ticket and says she should go. A heart of gold. The attention shifts to how we are going to get Moeskido in.
Throughout this, there is Pecos. Cool as a cucumber. I imagine that inside her head, she is rolling her eyes thinking "kids", though she doesn't actually do this. In a very unassuming way, Pecos effortlessly fixes everything. Its like the master (DM) becomes the pupil in the presence of the true Jedi master, Pecos. I'm not sure if everyone saw this, but Pecos makes a call on her cell phone. Within like a minute or two, all is resolved. Kellie has a pit ticket again. Like magic. All done on the down low by Pecos. A glimpse of the awesome power of Pecos.

She was one of the few people in the Pit line that I didn't get a picture with. Did get her in a group shot, though.
