I usually either go out with hospitality staffmates till 3 or 4, or I come home, smack some food (always) and get on the computer til 5 or 6 in the morning. I can never go to bed straight after a gig. |

I usually stay up for hours totally wired.
I will fall asleep though if I end up back at a buddies place just hanging out with friends in a very relaxed atmosphere. It takes a really really really relaxed laid back vibe to get me to come down after a gig though. |

Wouldn't you like to know?! | | Join Date: Apr 2000 Location: Atlanta | | | I pose for pix and sign lots of autographs, and mingle with the crowd whilst having my customary double shot of Jamesons. Sometimes there's an interveiw involved before and after the gig. Also, I give bass advice to anyone stupid enough to ask me!

Ok the real story is that after a gig I might hit a 7eleven and grab a hot dog or something and drive home and go to bed so I can get up early and get stuff done.

No, not the girls... the junk food from 7-11.
I usually get a slim jim or two and a bag of chips. Its a bit different from the sushi I like to get pre-gig. |

No 7-11's in Geneva, but there is a great Turish shawarma restaurant downtown near the train station that is open late. If we're playing downtown, it's a target. Nothing like a gutfull of shawarma chased with a coke, to produce some rather pleasant belches worth sharing with the lads.

Waffle House that is -- we usually go there when our guitarist/singer needs to sober up before we let him drive home! There's nothing like Waffle House tennants at 3AM!! |
