College was for sure a fun time. I have many memories and this sure is a place to share some of them. This is one of those stories.
I had met a guy at the place I worked and he was putting on this little show to raise funds for some local charitable cause. I don’t remember the ins and outs of that. All I remember was he needed somebody backstage that could open and close the curtain. All that needed to be done was open the curtain at the start and close the curtain at the end. Easy enough job, and I could feel good that I was doing my part to help.
The night of the show I invited my girlfriend to come along. It was a fun show, and I told her we would have the best seat in the house. We would be able to watch from up in the catwalk. It was a great spot. We were up high, had a view of the stage, and could see the first two rows of people, and I was right next to the rope I needed to pull.
