Members mrmatt64 Posted August 13, 2007 Members Share Posted August 13, 2007 Pretty much one word sums it all up......BOOOORRRING!!!!!Got to the Schottenstein Center about noon on Saturday (spposed to get there @ noon), waited around until 2:30 until someone showed up. It was the stage mgr. for the main event. He knew nothing about the openers (I was playing bass for the local idols, who opened the show for the American Idol Top 10), so I waited another 45 minutes until someone showed up who knew what was going on with our gig. The other musicians showed up shortly after (I guess I'm the only one who didn't get the notice to show up @ 3:30). We did a 15 minute practice through tunes that made me want to puke, then another waiting period until we went on stage about 6:45 p.m. I left and hung out at Wendy's on campus until 6:00. When I returned, they moved out timeslot back to 7:10 so more waiting. The gig went well, only got paid $165 for the day, pretty crappy considering the amount of time I spent there. I didn't stick around for the American Idols concert-I was glad to get the hell out of there. I stopped in a small club to see a friend's band play on the way home, got up to play 2 songs and had a blast!!! Made up for the rest of the day! Well, the alcohol could have helped with that;) Mr. Matt Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members bassplayer7770 Posted August 13, 2007 Members Share Posted August 13, 2007 How many of the local idols performed? I assume Charles Valentino was one of them? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members mrmatt64 Posted August 13, 2007 Author Members Share Posted August 13, 2007 Not sure of all their names, but this year they didn't do the top 3 local winners (the Gimme the mic Columbus winners), they had at least 7 of them sing so I'm figuring they invited all who won during the season. Some sang together (very badly though) and others did solo tunes. I didn't get names for most of them, but there was this one blonde with a mini-skirt and black boots. She had the nicest set of legs ever put on a woman IMO. I, of course was old enough to be her dad though so I felt like an old fart all night (which I am) Mr. Matt Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members bassplayer7770 Posted August 13, 2007 Members Share Posted August 13, 2007 Charles was the Winner of Week 1, and I think he came in 2nd place in the finale. I jammed with the band he's trying to put together a couple times before I decided I didn't have the time for two bands... http://www.wsyx6.com/sections/contests/gimme/contestants.shtml Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
