I've Been Waiting to Hear This

One wild night on the town in Austin, Texas on its notoriously sloppy 6th Street a man said something to me that was just what I've always wanted to hear. Let me set the scene.

It was a warm Texas night. First stop was a long, narrow saloon called the Bat Bar. A live band was playing on stage. The uninhibited drinkers were pairing off on the dance floor and gettin' down. The really uninhibited drinkers were pairing off in dark corners and really really gettin' down, if you know what I mean. It was time for another drink.

Stretching a leg down toward the ground, I unperched from my stool at a high top and quickly crossed the increasingly crowed room. The bar was settled under a low ceiling in a dark space, almost like a fox hole. What I didn't know was that the bartender had concealed a big fan right behind him in his hidey hole. I reached the bar, squared off with him and WHOOSHHH my hair whipped back in a flurry! Brown and golden streams flew wild and free! At which point the bartender said,

"Wow! You look like you're in a shampoo commercial!"

YES! Admit it ladies, you all think this when when you blow dry your hair! Now, I'm here to tell you, that you too can have this moment in real life! Thanks, Texan Bartender!

Hair down, night on the town
