What is it with people who like to tug on dreds, dammit? Had that happen to me in '04 and I handled it pretty much the same way you did, Gene.
just deployed my blades and started swinging them in defensive arcs. That got their attention. Reason 106 why you need to have a handler or two by your side at these parties.
Agreed....choose your venue wisely...this was an unruly throng of drunks 8000+ strong, not even Arnold could have done much good last night. If I have some room to swing and move, not a problem, but that crowd was packed!
Walking thru the city was the best, jumping out from alleys, behind cars, etc....I believe I mentally damaged some people into believing monsters are in fact, real.
Another thing to consider....wearing a suit is hard on the body. I work out nearly everyday, run, etc. Today I feel like a truck hit me....sore everywhere....but the hunt will go on.
