Have you ever gotten the perfect gig?

Because I think I found it. 5 performers, I'm in the backing band. It's so fantastic! The 5 performers are all sisters, close to my age range, and I've got a great lineup. The one unfortunate thing is that the lineup I have is only temporary. Two of the guys are moving away.

But, the thing is, we have some record industry people interested in the group. I've never been this excited about a gig in my life. It pays and it's been great. Their family has all but adopted me, and it's been great.

We have regular gigs at a bar in town, and almost every single one (some exceptions made) turns out great. It is home turf, like the OSU Cowboys (basketball) in Ghallager Iba, back in '04. Undefeated, and a home winning streak of 30 some-odd (god, we were good and what happened?).

Hope you get that deal, always great to hear a TB'ers Success. Let us know what happens and let me know how to do it as well!

The perfect gig in Cham-bana, wow! I haven't heard anyone say that since Hum or maybe the Poster Children. Hats off to you, bro.

My first gig was the perfect one. Awesome reviews, friends loved it, no one messed up hardly at all, nothing fell apart, I looked cool while playing (i play bass, so, understatement)..etc. it was relaly fun. perfect in my standards.
