I would have waited till there was less a chance to be walked in on."</strong>And there he was spilling his guts to the guy.<br/><br/><strong>"Speaking of, you guys are going to blow the roof off this place tonight.  Farewell show and all, Pete's will be packed and spilling out to the streets."</strong>Alex picked up a smoke machine,<strong> "Well unless this runs them all out."</strong>He laughed again before he turned toward the door.  Alex stopped and looked back over his shoulder,<strong>"Maybe we can grab a drink sometime, not like we wont be seeing a lot of each other." </strong>His right eye dropped in a wink as he turned back and headed out toward the stage.<br/><br/><strong>"Here you go big guy, you're smoke machines, where would you like them to come in from?"</strong>Alex asked E.T. as the band finished up the song they had been playing.
