Proof That I am Getting Older

While I do not consider myself old by any stretch of the imagination, I apparently
am no longer young, either.

While attending a Nine Inch Nails concert on Sunday night (see, I am not old) there
were 3 incidents at the concert that really bothered me.

  1. Despite my being extremely “hard” and looking even meaner, the gate attendee saw no
    need to frisk me. I even asked him if he needed me to spread ’em. “No thank you, sir.
    Come on in,” he replied. Damnit, I could be a felon instead of a computer nerd.

  2. Some guy walked up to me with a rubber stamp and affixed “Over 21” to my right hand
    without asking to see any ID or anything.

  3. Around 45 minutes into the concert, I dozed off. I didn’t fall asleep exactly, but
    I did doze off for a few minutes. At a NIN concert. Wow.

    Hey, it was at least 10:30. It was getting late.
