I am playing with a serial killer

[crow01]

Thanks again cragislist for being so reliable and safe.

I replied to this ad about a drummer looking to jam. I met this guy at a practice studio.

We clicked and he seemed pretty normal.

2nd practice went really well too. We started talking about getting a guitar player.

3rd practice was a Saturday. He tells me had to move his kit to his house. "Meet me here xx at 11am".

I get there, ring his door. Nobody opens. Knock, knock. Nothing. Call him, txt him, email him. I wait outside for like an hour...maybe he fell asleep.

I get in my car and then his door opens. He walks out and ask me what I am doing there. If I am stalking him or something. At first I laughed. But he wasn't laughing. I say that we were supposed to jam. He doesn't remember.

4th practice, studio. We jam again. He doesn't mention the thing about Saturday. I told him he was pretty out of it. He doesn't remember.

5th practice again asks me to jam at his house. Again same thing. I go there, he doesn't open. I go home.

Call him later, said, whats up dude. He says we were not jamming that day. I ask if he has by any chance a twin brother. He says no.

We got a gig, I get a guitar I knew from a while back. We sat by the bar. He starts telling us how he likes hunting and dissect birds. I ask him if he works in a lab. He says no.

After a few brewskies I confront him again on the jams at his house. He tells me doesn't remember telling me about those.

He goes on about how he likes to sit in the dark for long periods of time to see if he can see through the dark. He goes about testing how many days he can go without sleeping.

We do the gig.

I never call him back.

I am lucky I am still alive.

Sounds like the beginning of a cool Halloween season movie...

[ExaltBass]

Is it "I am.." or "Am I... " that you meant? Either way... RUN!

[AaronD]

That was a little creepy but still quite funny

[Matt R.]

Sweet

[David1234]

I know where you jammed last summer ....

[Jon_West]

Craigslist?
Yeah, sounds about right.

"he likes to sit in the dark for long periods of time to see if he can see through the dark."

That guy is awesome!!

[Valerus]

holy crap, this is ridiculous. hahah

[Floyd Eye]

Dude, that was not a serial killer, just an idiot, tweaker wannabe. He probably watched Natural Born Killers 62 times over an 8 ball and thinks he's some kind of deep, sick genius.

I would have beat his ass immediately after he asked me if I was stalking him. Seriously.

Nah, not necessarily a serial killer. Well, was he a middle aged white guy?

Anyways, I had a drummer in a band who was VERY similar to what you describe. Seriously 5150 (code for crazy).

We would be talking and all of a sudden he would just space out. He'd tell me about how he talks to god and that he hears voices. He gave me that same line about liking to sit in the dark, but 'with his thoughts'.

ONe night we had a show booked. I get a call 2 hours before we're supposed to play and he says he can't make it, offers no explanation. He then showed up for practice later in the week like nothing had happened. I gave him the boot that night.

[PilbaraBass]

He's a drummer, right?

'nuf said

[countrybass007]

I think I saw this on "Bones."

So, was he any good??

[rhythmsection]

Key things I think you did to ensure your safety:

1. Did not mention any talking dog whatsoever.
2. Did not open the fridge, freezer, or crawlspace.
3. Did not mention the pics of Jodie Foster in his living room.
4. Did not enquire as to *what*, exactly, should put the lotion on it's skin.

Way to survive!

"They make horror movies that start out like this..."

^Okay Trip...Lol

I fail to see the the relationship to being a serial killer.

a lil creepy, sure.
