Disclaimer: I do actually have a life once in a while and get to go out. Don't even need a note from the wife or anything!
So last night I went to see The Reverend Horton Heat and two other bands and was watching the roadies set up and break down the sets. So I think to myself,
"Hmmm, self, that certainly looks like a SureFire holster on that guy's belt."
"Yep, there's a 6P."
"Hmmm, I'll be dipped if that isn't another SureFire holster on one of the other roadies' belt."
"Yep, self, and that there's a gunmetal 6P, too."
And so on...
Plus, I saw at least two additional 2x123's incans as well. They used them to signal the sound and light boards by flashing over the crowd. Lots of "Whoa, what's that?" from the crowd. My buddy turns to me and, since he knows my addiction, gives me that look. So does his wife.
Earlier in the day while running errands I saw a few more SureFire holsters and a few one cell lights on keychains or necklaces.
SureFires, Photons, and Nuwais... Oh, My!
I am not sure how I should feel. Is it acceptance, are there more addicts out there, or am I becoming "average" now? I know I ain't what my wife would call normal, but the being "average" concept is scary.
Are there more of us serious light users out there than we think or are we becoming... average? Will SureFires become the next BMW or iPod?
