We met at Lannie's Clocktower Cabaret in downtown Denver. We were invited by a mutual friend, Stephanie, to attend a Valentine's Day burlesque show. Before attending the show, Mary Beth was on a date with another woman. Joanne attended the show with her friend, Jen, who Mary Beth assumed was Joanne's girlfriend. Throughout the show, Joanne exchanged flirtatious looks with Mary Beth. Mary Beth was very turned off, assuming Joanne was flirting with her while on a date with another woman. During the show, Joanne and Mary Beth exchanged some drunken conversation, but Mary Beth bolted early to avoid anymore awkward contact with Joanne. The following day, Mary Beth was informed that Joanne was not on a date, but rather offering honest and genuine gestures of interest. Stephanie took it upon herself to tell both of us the same thing..."She was very interested in getting to know you more and would LOVE to have your phone number!" Like fools in love, we both offered our phone numbers. The rest is history...
