I wasn't "strung-out" but I did want to fight, and
@dhh misunderstood that I was giving him a performative chance to fight against the evils of the world, and I was role playing the dark side, him the light. Some people just don't understand performance art... SUPPORT THE ARTS DHH!
(next time, please don't kick me in the gonads)
I was surprised how bad it was just walking from the hotel to the Rails World venue. One strung-out guy wanted to fight me for some reason, another was swinging wildly and swearing profusely. Lots of zombie vibes too. Whatever Austin is doing, it's not working.
