My ska band (whom I sing for, not play bass) played a scooter rally a few weeks ago... Couple hours and a few drinks after we got there and we had started the world's first ever SCOOTER circle pit. That was a strange night. AND we were playing on top of a truck bed and a trailer attached to it. |

| | | | played a gig not to far from my house, but far enough i couldnt make it home in the state im in......
anyways, i left after with a nice girl, and we went to her house and she swore her parents were out all night, so we go up to her room.
........fun ensues........
and about 20 minutes into it i here a noise from downstairs. her dad came home early, and as my luck would have it, makes a beeline for his daughter's bedroom. well i have nowhere to go, so i get up, and just bolt.
im running out the door putting on my pants as i go with angry dad in tow and i make it out the door down the street when i realise im missing something...
i had no shoes.
now these arent just any shoes, these were my week out bright colourful circas, i was quite proud with the customization i did to them (new laces, and few things sewed on, just made them my own).
so im standing in the middle of the street, half naked, trying to make up my mind on whether to go back or not. and i finally man up (with a little help from my intoxication) and head back.
so i knock on the door and the dad comes out and i asked very politely for my shoes back.
the door slammed within an inch of my nose.
luckily the girl brought them to me the next day, shes a sweetheart.

Marie, Ontario | | | 1st story: mid 90s'--never ever smoked "any" when playing...well one night, gave in...IN the middle of a cover of Elton John's Saturday Night..I'm watching my fingers thinking "that's the coolest ****, I'm throwing out, I'm feeling the music" and other stupid stoned thoughts when the pre-chorus hits... ("All right,all right"). I LOSE IT and actually stop in the middle of the song. Never again did I inbibe of the sacred herb while playing.. (Actually has been over 20 years since I last pulled a "Clinton"). Death to this bass player!!
2nd story: Some back water gig in which we broght about 24 iK lighting cans. Low roof so the backline where about 1 foot from drummer head. Holy ****, Half-way throught third set he's smiling and his head's a smoking....Funny ****..
Last story: End of Weekend gig, 2:00a.m. tear-down. Soundman asks if the 220 has been powered down, he wants to wrap the lighting rig..Same drummer says "yeah". He goes in with a screw driver to unplug the dimmer pack. BAM.....Flew throught the air, melted rubber handle of screwdriver in hand chasing the drummer around the empty club..Funny **** X2...... |
