A story for CUSHINGTON

Hello Kushington,I just wanted to relay a story that happend to me. Its 1978 Pennsacola I own a craft shop down by the bay.One day a kid comes in my shop and asks if he can put a flyer in my window. I say yes and he does so. The flyer is for a craft convention and Blue Grass festival in Chippley Fla. I called the phone number on the flyer and booked a booth for the three day event. They told me the booth was 50.00 a day and I needed to send 150.00 and have it there by such and such a date to securemy spot and I would be payed in full for the three days.So me and my girl friend packed most of my shop into my truck the day before the event started and left for the event the fallowing morning. Well when we get to the fair grounds they hit me up for an additional 75.00 - 25.00 extra a day after I had all ready payed in full for my spot.I figured WTF and payed. From the gaurd shack you can not see the venue. After driving thru a huge parking lot the stage come into view.Its and old flatbed semi trailer parked in a field. The only other thing is a consation stand about 100 yards away from the stage.No boothes,no bands, no nothing. Not even any port-a-potties. I turned my truck around go back to the guard shack and ask for my money back and they said sorry no refunds. So I turned around again and went back to the field. There were a few people milling around, and I got to talking to them and come to find out, they to were here to sell and the reason that nobody showed up was because the main band had backed out so nobody showed. So what it amounts to is the premoter of the event get this is Mr Chippley him self. Now he is trying to recoop his loses by charging the people who are showing up an extra 25.00 a day to sell there. When I hear that all the bands backed out and there would be no music. I got hoppin mad , spun my tires kicking a cloud of dust in the air, halled ass thru the parking lot and skidded up to the gaurd shack, jumped out my truck and started screeming. The guy in the shack is telling me theres nothing he can do. I then demand to see the person in charge. Well sure enough in about 20 minuets three cop cars show up and Mr Chippley gets out of the back of one. He walks up to me and says whats yoour problem BOY. I said your trying to rip me off is my problem, what the fuck are you trying to pull. He says calm down and shut my foul mouth. I reply with, I quote " FUCK YOU FAT ASS YOU CAN BLOW ME " I was on the ground and hand cuffed so fast I didnt know what was happening until I was spitting dirt out of my mouth being lead to the back seat of one of the cars. Mr. Chippley got in the back of one of the other cars and we were off to jail. At the jail they were talking shit about how I fucked up swearing at the man that owns this town and I was in for a big suprise if I thought thing worked here like they do in the city.They tell me that Mr Chippley is Judge, Jury,and Executioner and started laughing.They had a deputy drive my truck and girl friend to the station. When the deputy and my girl came in the deputy tells Mr Chippley and the other depuies , theres more sellers causing trouble at the gaurd shack and they need to get back there pronto. Mr Chippley tells the deputy with my girl freind, to stay and watch us until he gets back.So the deputies and Mr Chippley took off back to the fair grounds. The deputy tells me that he hates that ass hole and the only reason he worked there is there was no place else to work and he had to support his family. At that point he walks over and unlocks the cell and says you two get as far away from here as posible and do it now and then he thru me my keys. I dont need to tell you me and my girl ran to my truck and halled ass out of there. A few weeks later I started to think that maybe I got scamed. You know like the night before they came up with a plan to scare anyone that would bitch about how the event turned out.Well it worked on me I was shaking in my boots and never tryed to do anything about. But that was some scary shit at the time. I thought you might get a kick out of what happends to Long Hairs in the south LOL Toast
