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.
The metal head in me says that's a great song title.
Where's the Boobinator when you need her? I'm sure she could lull you into a pleasant stupor with her Hypno-Boobs.![]()

Here's a little something to derail into for a minute. Do like the baby monkey, and get on your pig and hold on tight!

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?
I'm totally in. How would it work?
Speaking of spoons...I'm tempted to buy this:
WOODEN SPOON WITH MONKEY HANDLE 14" | eBay
I'm checkin' out your vid's right now. So far, so rock! Oh, and, GREAT name.
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.
I like how that means a girl who wants to win will simply flash her boobs every time.
It's like a public service.
