Bad oysters at a seafood bar - at a friend's gig. Got food poisoning, haven't been able to eat an oyster since.

Will anything unusual happen at my gig tonight, and if so, what will it be?
 
#624
No.
I'll let you know if the elk shows up. Or anyone from the Elks lodge.
Yesterday my wife and I took a short hike at a state park. There were signs that said "No Dogs" and "No Bicycles".
So I thought "Cool, I could come back here with one of those circus bears that rides a Unicycle - no signs against it".

Can you ride a Unicycle?

That's sort of like asking "what is your opinion about bands?"
There are some really great zoos, and I like those a lot.
And there are some really crappy zoos, and I do not like those.

Why was tonight's gig so weird and so satisfying at the same time?
 
#629
Absolutely. When playing a 10-2 bar gig and most of the patrons are middle-aged parents in particular. They tend to have about 2 beers, and then leave *all at once*. Nothing like playing to a relatively empty bar while grinding through the rest of the set, knowing you still have an hour long drive to get home.

Have you ever seen a Lego store in a mall?
 
#630
Yes, used to be an annual tradition. At Mall of America, parked in same lot every year, in through Nordstroms straight to the Lego store. Lots of looking, dreaming, agonizing till kids spent all the money they saved for the trip (and mom reminded herself that she did not need Legos too), then hit a few rides and straight back out the same path. Ten years before I ever saw the rest of the mall. Kind of miss those trips.

What were your favorite toys, or type of toys, to play with growing up?
 
#631
K'NEX!!!! I LOVE THEM STILL!!!!!! I built so many things, the big ones too! The space station, roller coaster, ferris wheel, you name it!! I also had battle trolls! They were bad a$$ trolls that all had super powers (at least in my mind they did!) I had soooo many Thomas the Tank Engine toys too! I would play on one of those roll out carpets that had streets and train tracks on it! I love the opening theme to that show... it is crap now!!! Ringo Starr and George Carlin were the best conductors for that show!!! Two idols of my adult life and I had no clue as a child! CROSS FIRE!!!!!! I can go on!!! AND I LOVED NICKELODEON!!!!

Aside from bass, what instrument you wish to play??

Oo oo I KNOW this one !! Shallow cuts hurt more because they don't sever nerve endings like a deep cuts does. Years ago I had a significant injury to my left thumb/hand. The very deep cut ( a through and through ) hurt very little and hardly bled. The lesser of the wounds hurt like the dickens and dripped like a faucet.

Reminds me of this time I went to this performance. It was around Halloween and was a scary 30 minute show with people doing live acting. Imagine your typical Italian from.Brooklyn (i am the not so typical Italian from the Bronx.. I can generalize like this....) sitting 3 seats down. Man, all he does is make remarks throughout the show trying to impress his 35 year old bimbo gf. Gentleman in front turns around and trys to "shh" him. He disregards and continues. I get pissed and lean over and say loud enough "Can you shut the %@*? up... Please?" It was dark, but I new he turned red when people heard me say that. He went from sitting all slouched on the chair to straight up. Just before the show ends.. he tries to make a quit exit. The man on stage is talking an asks the crowd to remain seated since it is dark... The dude trips and stumbles and makes a break for the outside.... Good times xD

Favorite movie: Pink Floyd the Wall
Least favorite: idk... I usually don't remember them cause I don't bother with em...


What type of amp you use?
