Whenever I go out to the bars with my girlfriends, we invent "bar personas," complete with fake names and phone numbers, and stick to em most of the night.
One night I was at a club and our bar personas were rockstars. We met these guys who wanted to buy us a drink. As we were outside talking, they asked us what we did for a living. We told them we were in a punk band, that I sang and my friend played bass, and that we were on tour. THey asked us our band's name and I said, "alcohol by volume," first thing which popped into my head, which happens to be my friends' real local band. ( Of course I thought they were unheard of)
We went on and on about being on the road and being in a band, and then we asked the guys what they did. Turns out these guys were musicians, and they were in a band from Ventura who had played with the REAL Alcohol By Volume the night before. I was so embarrassed it was all I could do to keep from laughing as we thanked them for the drink and walked away.
