I don't even know how successful this thread is gonna be
chances are if it is interesting to you, it's interesting to a few others. You can never tell on hubski. I'll tell you something that helped get interest, perhaps as much as your anger and passion - your description of the situation brought us all into the bar - so even those of us who might not have been to a noisy, flirty, crowded, loud live music show... we had a good sense of it complete with sound effects (your music links), and phrases like "my brother skulks a bit away from the bar" brought the camera very close. (So that's my meta-analysis, do you agree thenewgreen?)
I think that people like catching glimpses of other people's lives, especially when it is well written and relevant to their own. We all have a brother, a friend, a co-worker or someone else that has put us in a compromising situation and it's good to know we are not alone in these things. My own brother would never be that cruel, but he can certainly be an arrogant s.o.b at times. -as can I. I'm sure I've embarrassed him before and I'm certain that he has me.
