Happy Flagiversary, shyv! It would be hard to forget your experience at Red Rocks. I can't forget it, and I've only ever seen pictures and heard stories. At a recent English Beat concert I was talking to one of the guitarists in the reconstituted band. He was telling me some of the stops they'd be making on the tour. When he mentioned Red Rocks, I enthused at what a beautiful venue it is. He asked me who I saw there and I had to sheepishly admit that I had only seen photos of the place.
Smax and stevel, I can definitely relate to your situation. If people ask me a question that I sense will lead to a Flag tale, I usually warn them, "Don't ask that unless you're up for a long story." I'd love to know how you got the story down to three or four sentences for strangers.
In Dallas, the only game that really mattered was in the word gamelan.
