> "In the middle of the first set, when the music started to turn political this lady and her friend got up and approached me asking for their money back"

This does not suggest to me that Sol knew beforehand they were anti-Bush.

> "The 2 ladies walked out but I refused to refund their money for 2 reasons..."
suggests to me that Sol has already explained why. What's the need to step in and explain all over again?

I think Melissa's idea is brilliant.
