Pure Gold. Must See Pic

So at a show on the weekend we had a pretty solid dance floor going. My buzz was a little better than it.

Long story short, got pretty into it, and pulled some ridiculous move. Definite bass-to-back of the head contact with an audience member. The immediate aftermath (quick photographer!):

I bought her a drink and went on my merry way. When we were tearing down one of the bartenders came up and said that he had a number for me from a girl. The note said Kate (Bass Face) ***-**** haha

All's well that ends well, and you ended up with her phone number! Interesting way to meet a girl.

If you call her and ask her out, this is the first thing you say to her "Fancy bumping into you here! You come to this stomping ground often?"

I perforated the back of my singer's head once with the tuning pegs of my old Ibanez. Ouch!


But at least you got a phone number out of it. I just got a really sour look onstage.

Damn. All these years I've been trying to bed chicks by doing pelvic thrusts on stage. Turns out you just nail with your bass and the phone numbers start flying. Cheers!
