Title pretty much says it all.
Im playing the local 'biggish' venue and we have been asked to headline. Were dressing up as animals and fruit....you know as you do.
Anyone else got any 'special' shenanighans planned for NYE?

| | | | We are playing at a medium sized, older private club about 6 miles from my house. Decent pay but less than usual. Should be a nice group of people and low keyed, fun gig with no hassles. |

| | Registered User | | Join Date: Apr 2008 Location: Little Rhody | | | We've got a gig at one of our regular venues. Champagne toast....buffet....all that Jazz. It should be a most excellent time. It's our band's second NYE but we didn't have a gig last year. 2010 was pretty good to us and we are psyched for our first NYE party! I'm using my new wireless.....first time I'm a free-range bassists.
I'm also bringing my brand new Squier VM Jazz as my half-step down bass!
Have a great night! |

| | | | New Years is Lowest Common Denominator Night. Amateur drunks yelling for Proud Mary or Mustang Sally all night. Played em for 20 years, not one was satisfying. Am I being a geezer?? |

|  | Registered User | | | | | Put me on the list of people that despise NYE gigs but, yeah. I'm working. There won't be anything special going on, Typical NYE. Bar packed with amateurs that only drink once a year, don't know how to drink, don't know how to behave when they get drunk, don't know how to drive drunk, don't know how to get home safely without having to drive drunk...
Give me a bar full of professional drinkers anytime. You can keep amateur night.

| | | | My band is playing in downtown Pittsburgh at The Steelhouse. I'm guessing for around 300 people in a medium-sized club. Craziness. The next night I have a date with a hottie.
Being in a band is good.
