Some venues are better suited to the disproportionately female crowd at an Indigo Girls' concert than others. The theater itself was great...but an even number of men's and women's toilets just doesn't make sense. Last night, one of the men's rooms quickly became a unisex room to help the long lines of full bladdered ladies move faster.
I decided to use the unisex option just before the Indigo Girls took the stage. So there I was, waiting in this ridiculous line for one of three stalls in what was usually a men's room with a long row of perfectly pristine looking urinals standing completely under-utilized along the opposite wall. I looked at the woman behind me, gestured to the urinals and said, "I'm really tempted..." She said, "What the hell?"
Using the urinal did result in a little stage fright due to the staring audience. In my defense, I was pretty exposed. In the end, though, it was totally satisfying not only because I jumped the line without (pardon the pun) pissing anyone off, but when we pulled our pants up to leave, every woman in that line applauded.
