Technically I was crew but not a roadie because, although I was a stagehand, I didn't travel. Sometimes it was a difficult job to do being female because it was a position traditionally filled by guys, especially for bands like Poison and Kiss and Prince. So I'd be coming in the backstage door dressed for work with my hair in a ponytail and all covered with stage dust and sometimes I would still have to point out that I was not there to blow the band. I would never dress that grubby for oral sex. Barry Manilow incidentally has some of the most sex-crazed frantic groupies the world has ever seen. Two of the most fun things I was a stagehand for actually were Nickelodeon's Super Sloppy Double Dare because I love slimy mess and the Gillette Sensor launch where we got to erect this giant walk-through razor for a few hundred of the company's top salespeople.
