Did you have to dress the part?

Have to hold any vomit in while playing?

I've got a "Halloween gig at the nudist colony" story.

Nowhere is the gap between fantasy and reality wider.

A friend of mine has played gigs at the Glen eden Sun Club here in So. Cal. They wanted me to run sound for them several years ago and I turned it down. Most people who are at that that place look much better with their clothes on.

I had to deliver IV antibiotics there to one of our patients in late 80's. It was the weirdest thing I had experienced in my life up to that point. I think I was about 21 or 22 then. I remember most of the people being in their 60-70's.

When I was offered the sound gig I could imagine all the naked old guys walking up and asking questions and offereng help and I didn't want to converse with naked old guys.

Man the visual of them dancing is disturbing me and making me laugh at the same time.

Thanks for answering that huge question of mine. There are no nudist colonies anywhere around me so I always wondered that.

I think I'll pass on that whole thing unless Im in Europe.
