   Part 2   
   A couple of days later, my girlfriend who I went to London with, asked if I   
   wanted to go to the Eastown Theatre. I still had jet lag, was tired and didn't   
   feel like it, but she talked me into it. She said that Keith Emerson of the   
   Nice had a new band out    
   with two other guys. She and another friend wanted to go. So the three of us   
   went. I wore my new pantsuit that I bought at Biba's and my new dusty pink   
   suede boots and matching top.    
      
   While at the Eastown that night, I lost sight of my girlfriends and where they   
   had gone . I was tired and just mingled around in the crowd all night, not   
   even paying attention to the music much at all. I hated losing sleep and most   
   times I could go to    
   bed at 9 pm.   
      
   After the band was done and all the people had left, I wondered where my   
   friends were. I knew they wouldn't get far, because I drove there and had the   
   keys. So, I stood in the middle of the empty dance floor area. I danced in the   
   lights that were shining    
   on the floor from a chandelier above. I was spinning around with my arms out   
   stretched and looking up, like I was in a dream. Then I saw my friends a   
   distance away with two guys and they were leaving. Then I thought, are those   
   two of the guys from the    
   band, because if they are then there's one left over. I thought "Oh no, I'm   
   not going to be with someone I don't know" Then I looked up and saw this guy   
   walking towards me and he had a big smile. I fell in love immediately. Then I   
   turned my head away    
   because I knew I'd get hurt. I didn't want to look at him again. He said   
   "Don't you talk"? I couldn't think of anything to say, so I said "Goo goo do   
   do da da". I figured that talking baby talk was still talking and it was kinda   
   cute. He asked who was    
   driving and I said that I was. And then he called out "shotgun". So we all   
   walked to my car across the street.   
      
   My old car then was a 1964 Mercury with the roll down rear window. Four adults   
   in the back seat was plenty of room. I recognized Keith Emerson, but I didn't   
   know who the other two guys were. We got to the hotel and four of us went to   
   Keith's room. My    
   girlfriends seemed to already know Keith and the other guy. The cute guy I   
   just met laid down on the bed and I sat down on it.  We started talking and I   
   asked him his name. He started laughing and said "You don't know who I am"?   
   And I said "No really I    
   don't" he still couldn't believe that I didn't know who he was. Then he said   
   "I'm the drummer Carl Palmer, I played with the Crazy World of Arthur Brown"   
   Then I said "Oh my God you were at the Marquee the other night" and he   
   smiled..and I told him we    
   were there too. So the guy I didn't know, but went looking for in London, I   
   end up meeting in Detroit a few days later. This was crazy. So the band that I   
   was too tired to watch that night was Emerson, Lake & Palmer. Detroit was   
   their second gig of their    
   first US tour.   
      
   Carl said that I had fox eyes and that they were green, but I said they were   
   blue. We just played around like a couple kids and I told the Little Red   
   Riding hood story playing both parts "Oh Grandmother what big eyes you have" "   
   The better to see you    
   with my dear" "Oh grandmother what big teeth you have" the better to eat you   
   with my dear" Carl was hiding under the covers pretending to be afraid and   
   then I got under them too. We giggled about the noises that the others were   
   making. He did kiss me    
   though, like a brick, but he wasn't at all looking for sex and I was happy   
   that he wasn't trying, it made me think that he thought I was special.  He   
   laughed and said I could take off my boots if I wanted.  I fell asleep, but in   
   the morning when I woke    
   up he wasn't there.   
   I loved his company and felt like meeting him was meant to be and that he was   
   the one I had been looking for. I loved his brown eyes and I couldn't wait to   
   see him again.
