Derrick Barry At 'Badlands'

Fine show by Derrick Barry, Britney Spears impersonator. Even got an autograph! Barry seemed quite pleasant in person.

Strange evening. At one point, while I was standing near the bottom of the stairs, someone dropped a drink down the stairs, and the glass shattered. Some glass went into my hair, and an indeterminate amount slipped down the back of my collar.

Then, on the dance floor, a pretty, tattooed (but really drunk) young lady tried to stand on a riser and almost toppled over a railing into my arms. She tried a second time and fell off the riser and onto the dance floor. She tried a third time, but wobbled dangerously for many minutes, as she tried her level best to dance lasciviously. (Is she going to take her top off? No, she's not going to take her top off. Which way is she going to fall?) I felt pressed to spot her movements. Her girl friend tried to steady her, then decided to share the riser with her, which was a mistake, given the lack of space. Fortunately, the lascivious one finally gave up the exhibitionist dancing (unfortunately, lascivious appearances demand stone-cold soberness).

Here's a bit of video....
