House Show Indie Kid Scored a Lucky Gig with Daniel Champagne

It bears mentioning that I'm now 28 years old, and that use of the word 'kid' with that bit of context left out is mere wishful thinking flirting with self-denial, and I'm not into that. This story takes place at a house venue in the sketchy part of town (where any different setting is rare) one random work night in 2016. This house venue in particular was a frequent for surprise gigs with surprising pull once in a while. The owner was employed sorely by his laptop and operated under an "anti-wage slave" mindset the venue patrons and roommates failed to question and I ignored.
