Adjusting to the Dark is a journal entry by Samantha Greenbriar, dated October 29, 1994. It describes the events after the concert. Sam had already arranged with Lonnie to stay at a friend's house in the city after the concert, however she had not mentioned that she would be sharing a bed with Lonnie. Once the lights turned off, they moved closer together, and Lonnie admitted to Sam that she really liked her.

Transcript[]

At Todd's brother's place after the show, there was only a futon to sleep on, so Lonnie and I shared it. The lights went out... I was turned toward her... my eyes started to adjust, and then I could see she was looking at me, too. In the dark, she smiled. My heart was beating so fast. I rolled over, I felt so... I don't know, nervous? After a minute she put her arm around me, and was so close, and whispered in my ear, "I really like you." I just nodded my head and I really hope she could tell. I really hope... that she meant what I think she did. I've felt like a shook-up can of soda ever since. I hope we have a chance to talk before I explode.
