I auditioned for a new band last Saturday, got the spot last Sunday, have learned an entire set of original songs during the week, and will play a show with them on Friday the 13th.
What could go wrong with that situation? AWESOME SHOW, guaranteed. No luck necessary.  
Also playing with a cover band on Saturday, and with a second originals band on Monday. This is the most rock star weekend I've had in awhile.

(now, which bass was it that made the gig... ) | is spot on, color wise. Now.... let me think what kind of bass made it to the gig. Oh, I remember!!!! It was a cork wood bass, with 4 1/2 strings, [(a+b)/c] " scale length tuned to X 2 - Z 6.  :

There was an inordinate number of seriously drunk wankers stumbling around the place, I mean it was scary. And the owner, trying to be funny I suppose, put a ladder over one of the entrances so everyone who came in that way walked under it. Unbelievably, nothing bad happened, we played a good 3 sets and received a lot of love.
