Just have to say...I LOVE your bass!
Not usually a pastel guy but the aged guard just makes that look so cool...
As for shorts? Makes sense I guess...

I'm a fan a dressing better than your audience and if that means no shorts, so be it. Don't sign the contract if you can't abide by its terms. But what really irritates the holy heck out of me, is when they expect you to dress for the occasion and then not provide a suitable dressing/green room to change in. Mostly they laugh and point to the nearest honey bucket.
Like most discriminatory things, these aren't the people that rule was meant to exclude.
The only time shorts are permitted is if you’re playing on a beach. And please don’t let them be cargo shorts.

Played a gig in a ritzy hotel once for an exclusive group - can't remember exactly who they were. The contract contained a lot of conditions - strict dress code, we couldn't imbibe (even though the guests were drinking), no cursing, blue humor or discussing religion or politics on stage, no mingling with the guests, where we could and couldn't go during breaks, etc. We felt like lepers, but as I recall the gig payed well.
That is the kid. He's pretty fun to play with. My bass is a Squire that I've had for years. I call it the creamsicle. On its 3rd paint job ( lawn furniture green rustoleum).
You look like a wizard that decided to multiclass as a fighter. Such a badass look.
I must respectfully disagree. I think she looks great. Actually I was about to say the pic belongs in the I Back a Hot Singer Babe thread.
Different tastes for different folks keeps it a wide, wonderful world.
+1. And man she looks like she's belonging right there, right then. That's a great photo, all the way around!
That's pretty funny that they put it in the contract. If it was hot I still would have worn shorts though. If the promoter said something I'd tell him I wore them because I knew the crowd couldn't keep their fiendish eyes off my finely-turned calves just like he couldn't. I'd then interrupt his response and tell him he can briefly touch my calves if he's that interested in the hopes that makes him uncomfortable and he leaves. Works 50% of the time, all the time.
I think it's all in how you rock the shorts.
a utilikilt is a skirt made out of canvas. Just not for me. Go ahead and rock one if you want, it's all good. But it ain't a kilt. Kilts are tartan and made of lots of wool.
Just one cat's opinion, but I's gots peat in me blood.

Utilikilts are the "cargo shorts and Birkenstocks with black socks" of the kilt world.
It’s actually not that simple, Mr. Serious Tattoo Guy...short shorts is a lifestyle choice and it’s my way or the highway!
No one wants to see these chicken legs.
I can't help about the shape I'm in
I can't sing
I ain't pretty
And my legs are thiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiin!
