Look Lady, I’m Eating My Corn Dog
This was Edgefest.
Not the other downtown outdoor Evanescence show — this was the real Edgefest lineup:
Evanescence
Mudvayne
Cold
Blue October
Smile Empty Soul
Revis
Fanzeen (Tulsa band with a British lead singer)
Stacked bill. Outdoor. Packed. Wall-to-wall people.
Merch was flying.
Jeff and Sean were selling. I was responsible for checking in merch and counting money. It was nonstop. No breaks. No breathing room. Just rush after rush.
Finally, there’s a tiny window.
We grab corn dogs.
Mustard in a cup. Standing there inhaling food for the first time all day while the crowd is still buzzing.
And that’s when the manager from Fanzeen storms up wanting to check out and settle.
No pause. No grace. No awareness that we’d been running full speed since load-in.
And that’s when it happened.
“Look, lady, I’m eating my corn dog.”
Not aggressive. Not dramatic. Just honest.
You get these moments in live music where you’re juggling thousands of dollars in merch, multiple bands, packed crowds — and the only thing standing between you and collapse is a five-minute corn dog break.
Edgefest was chaos in the best way.
Huge lineup. Big personalities. Even bigger tempers.
And sometimes the most memorable moment of the day isn’t the headliner.
It’s defending your right to finish your corn dog.
