Another thing to be prepared for is the "RDG" other wise known as the Resident Death Grip...
Every so often, you'll be shaking hands with people after your gig and someone, usually a woman, doesn't want to let go.
Sometimes you can slide her hand off of yours, sometimes you have to peel off her fingers one by one.
Another technique that I've used is to say "Hey, can you touch your nose with your finger?" 9 out of 10 times, they let go...
