You should get all your friends together and give them all some sort of percussion instrument (shaker eggs, tambourines, vibra-slaps, etc)...and tell them that they are all in the band. I bet you could put them out of business with one good might of drinking. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Moderators MarkGifford-1 Posted June 20, 2007 Moderators Share Posted June 20, 2007 That could be quite a bad deal for the venue, depending on the band. We ran up a $400+ liquor tab at a college gig once - and that was in 1978 dollars. MG Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
