If you need a laugh just by comparing, my first gig ended with fire trucks.

Details? Okay.

I had a band in high school that was a lot of fun. My best friend was the drummer and my girlfriend was the keyboardist. Her dad was a preacher from a church that had had a pretty rich congregation. So they decided to buy a failed church, tear it down and build their new church on the site of the old one. Basically they wanted to move upscale. Right after they bought it, however, both of their richest members died and suddenly the church wasn't so wealthy.

So now they had a basically useless building that they had to keep up. So guess where we did our practices? Word got around that we didn't suck and a few people came to see us play. Next practice we got a few more. Then a few more.

This continued until one evening about seventyfive people showed up to listen to us and it turned into a big old party.

It was all good until someone decided they needed dancing room and pushed the amplifiers back against the walls. Churches often have these big thick draperies hanging against the walls. These had had decades to dry out. Amplifiers often have these incredibly hot things called 'tubes' in them. Maybe you've heard of them.

Apparently it's a bad idea to put the 'tube' things in direct contact with really old, dry curtains. They didn't burst into flames or anything like that. But they scorched so bad that we thought they might.

At least the firefighters were cool.

Tube amps and dry draperies does NOT sound like a safe combination. Definitely not the kind of smokepot that most people would want at a show.
 
Where's the Boobinator when you need her? I'm sure she could lull you into a pleasant stupor with her Hypno-Boobs. :D

A little late, but to the Super Chicken theme song:
When you're feeling down and troubled
When someone bursts your happy bubble
When you know it just can't wait 'til later
There's someone with Hypno-boobs
Who will hurry up and rescue you
Just call for Boobinator!
If you're afraid you'll suffocate motorboatin'
Just like life preservers, they'll keep you floatin'
She will wear her Femme-bot bra
And beat the bad guys to the draw.
Just call for Boobinator
Just call for Boobinator!


And if that's not at least enough for a smile; know that I wrote that walking through Target, and sometimes when I'm focusing on something like that, I forget that I should talk in a lower than normal volume, and I said to my husband, "Come on! I need to rhyme something with motorboatin'!" Probably much louder than I should have. :p
 
I bought a bass today. It is an Ibanez sr200, and it cost me $55....so I kinda had to. :p Pics tomorrow. :bassist:

Yay! I wanna see! I'm kinda thinking....

Instead of Rock, paper, scissors (or rock, paper, scissors, lizard, Spock), we should have our own CWB game.

Shoes, bass, spoon, lyrics, boobs? Or something better maybe?

Speaking of spoons...I'm tempted to buy this:
WOODEN SPOON WITH MONKEY HANDLE 14" | eBay

I LOVE that spoon! You should SO buy it!

Shoes, bass, spoon, lyrics, boobs

I'm thinking something similar to rock, paper, scissors....but.....

Bass slams shoes
Bass bends spoons
Bass leads lyrics
Shoes step on spoons
Shoes crush lyrics
Spoons scoop lyrics
Boobs flash everything


I feel like I've missed something in this, but if I have, someone will tell me. I'm sure of it.

That's pretty impressive for 1:30 in the a.m.....probably 2:30 FL time...lol I guess I should go to bed. :p
 
I like how that means a girl who wants to win will simply flash her boobs every time.

It's like a public service.

Well, you know how it is. We totally control all the boobs, so we gotta use that to our advantage when we need to. Fortunately, winning that way leaves no [DEL]hard[/DEL] hurt feelings, just a deep sigh of contentment and googly eyes.
