I have a pretty great “didn’t get to see Charlie that night” story.
wife and I got married late (I was 36, she was 33)
We went to Austin for my bachelor party. Got there by 10am Friday so we could watch day 2 of the Sweet 16. Well, after a full day filling myself with the spirit(s), we’re walking from one place to another, and there’s Antone’s. Charlie’s playing. A group of 8 or so of us walk up to the doorman, and ask how much to come watch the show. My brother is the point man, and the guy says “it’s $25/, but that guy ain’t coming in”…pointing at me…
I walk up and say “hey mannnn, what did I do? Why can’t I come in”
he says, “bro, you’re swaying all over the place and leaning on everything in site”.
I put my hand on his shoulder and say “Brother, I’m leaning on the promises of God”
he literally falls on the ground laughing, says it’s the funniest comeback he’s ever heard, “and that I’m still not getting in”
oh well Saw him 2-3 times after that But I’ll never forget my drunken Ron White retort to the Antone’s door man just trying to see Charlie.
