All those years of study and practice! Never would I have guessed these requirements. (perhaps had I not spent the time practicing.......)

I guess the guy doesn't expect female musicians filling these requirements to show up. That would be fun.

Actually I see nothing in that ad that would preclude a young woman fulfilling their requirements!

Why are you saying that on an ad that says '2-5 years of experience of ONE NIGHT STANDS on a daily basis.'?

I read that as all-night gigs in different towns - I don't know what you are implying ....

Not so fast there. I don't think you meet the requirements. Show us the gun.

It's not going to be easy for you to negotiate on the "must have" status of having a gun without having a gun.

Seeking band members between the ages of 20-30

Must haves (negotiable)

1) a GUN
2) 2-5 years of experience abusing illegal DRUGS and ALCOHOL
3) 2-5 years of experience of ONE NIGHT STANDS on a daily basis.
This will work it's way on to most respectable conservatory curriculums eventually.
