Members jeff42 Posted March 19, 2012 Members Share Posted March 19, 2012 5 only. Thankfully. I didn't lose an eye and I'm thankful for that. No concussion either. wow matt! just saw the pic... thankfully it wasnt worse cuz it looks awful dude! One thing I can't deal with is "SuperTuffGuy" who can't handle booze. Or in this case violent club owner swinging micstands. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members bish0p34 Posted March 19, 2012 Members Share Posted March 19, 2012 Man, the vast majority of your posts are so freaking negative I am starting to think you would find something to bitch about a free lay from two $1000 hookers. Send those hookers my way. I won't complain. Promise! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members kmart Posted March 19, 2012 Members Share Posted March 19, 2012 Man, the vast majority of your posts are so freaking negative I am starting to think you would find something to bitch about a free lay from two $1000 hookers. Maybe you're just inherently easier than I am. I'm not exceptionally negative; I'm just experienced enough to know that there's a whole hell of a lot of gigs out there...more than enough to allow me to judge the good ones vs. the bad. And when it comes to yahoos who can't hold their liquor yet trying to play like they can, and what that inevitably means (they start encroaching on my/band's turf), then yes, I'll call a spade a spade and say it's less than a positive experience.

Members wheresgrant3 Posted March 19, 2012 Members Share Posted March 19, 2012 This good lol. A bar fight erupted because the owner didn't know had to diffuse a couple of rowdy guys, and just added fuel to the fire. The owner was swinging our mic stands around, smashed our lights, cut us early, and then cut our pay. I took a mic stand to the face when the owner moved on to a baseball bat. Ouch... do you think you'll get re-booked. Just kidding. Sorry, I couldn't resist. Hope you heal fast. If it makes you feel better, in my younger days, I spent two days in the hospital with a fractured orbital lobe due to a barfight. And I'm a lover, not a fighter.

Members Vito Corleone Posted March 20, 2012 Members Share Posted March 20, 2012 Ours was a wedding that was slightly Irish-themed. They had a girl there who played violin and sang a few Irish songs during the cocktail hour/dinner. And a band with an Irish bass player We've hardly had a drop of snow all year up here so, of course, it dumped most of the weekend. The weather predictions from the day before were so dire that I questioned whether the girls would actually be able to make the drive up and I called another girl I know to be on standby just in case. Luckily, the storm wasn't nearly as bad as they predicted and everyone made it up just fine. Only drag was the format of the wedding/venue was such that they wanted to us to play in the exact same space the ceremony took place so we had to rush through a set up during the dinner/cocktail portion while still attending to their needs for announcements, background music etc. But it ended up being a great fun crowd. (Destination weddings are the best---nobody is usually going anywhere so you have a captive crowd.) Nice $500 tip at the end of night ALMOST made up for the extra hassles.

Members wheresgrant3 Posted March 20, 2012 Members Share Posted March 20, 2012 Apparently it was more fun than I remembered it. Or I'm just getting old. All I remember was wanting to pack up and go to sleep. Thankfully I have videotape to help me remember what happened. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members 992gnt Posted March 20, 2012 Members Share Posted March 20, 2012 Hopefully I can contribute to this thread. Next year. Seems like forever since I played out, but we're doing a benefit this weekend and then finally some shows. Took in a few bands Saturday, good crowds, well behaved.

Members SkullCap Posted March 22, 2012 Members Share Posted March 22, 2012 I couldn't make our gig. My wife went into labor the Sunday before (3/11/12), there were some complications, but all is well. My kid owes me $75, dinner and drinks.
