booty touch.

so, as promised, here's the story of the time i touched toddie funk's butt.
it was the toby mac after party at club 3 degrees and the diverse city band had their chance to really shine. almost all of the members of toby's band have their solo side projects and this after party was really giving them a chance to showcase their own stuff...so naturally they had a chance to sell their merchandise and yours truly was manning the table. now there were three artists who had all their merch on the same table (toddie funk, shonlock, and mr. talkbox) so it was a challenge keeping all the money separate.
after the show things only got more confusing when the band members came to the table to greet fans and sign. they all grabbed their piles of cash and got to signing. we were still selling merch and all of a sudden i had ten bucks in my hand that now belonged to toddie funk and had no idea where to put it. so i leaned over and asked, "hey, where's your money going?" without skipping a beat he said, "in my back right pocket" and lifted a cheek in my direction. so i did the whole grab the folded bill with my pointer finger and my thumb trick and tried to stick it in his pocket without touching him. can't lie, i failed, totally grazed his butt but he didn't seem to notice, praise the Lord.
now one might ask, why wouldn't he just take the money and stick it in his own pocket? well see his hands were a little full with trying to open cd's to sign and hands to shake.
the things you do as a merch girl.
