Originally posted by dissonance I swear I've read that Sandy/Candy story before. Have you written about it before because I'm sure I've heard it. Yes, it's posted over in the Stupid Stories thread on the Live Sound forum. It's part of the puzzle that fits into this, and I had told it as a short story previously. I wonder if anyone has figured out what the unifying theme of the story is, aside from "groupies," of course. Feel free to guess the ending. In any case I will write what actually happened as I've stayed true to reality so far. Terry D. P.S. Thanks to all for the kind words. I'm not so much trying to impress or entertain as I am to purge myself of these secrets. I literally shook for about 30 minutes after I wrote the last chapter above.

Originally posted by TheBeatButcher What a fantastic story (or stories, I should say)! Thanks, Terry! Joe All the stories and characters come together in the end, I'm just having a little trouble getting there because the side stories are so interesting, at least to me. Then again, I lived them. Thanks for the support. Terry D.

Originally posted by squealie Is this the same 'Red' who drove the crew truck and epoxy'd the spark plug? No. "Red" is pretty much what every guy in the music biz with red hair gets called. Unless he's also huge. Then he gets called, "Tiny." Terry D.

Originally posted by ctardi I have copied everything into microsoft word so far, 15 pages of size 10 font. If it's alright with terry, I wouldn't mind editing it, maybe do something, not sure what, with it....Can you let me know if it's alright that I edit it? Please don't, it's still a work in progress. You might notice I've been gradually editing the whole thing back to the first chapter. Terry D.

Originally posted by Angry Grimace This is starting to turn into a novel. Keep in mind I'm just writing this on the fly, stream of consciousness stuff, no editing, no notes, no outline. I will make it better later when I switch my editor in. Right now I'm just getting it all out while it's flowing. Thanks for reading. Terry D.

Originally posted by ratthedd ...so one time I was busy banging this chick in some hick Texas town and this big dude with long hair came in to her house asking her roommate where the girl was that I was busy with and it really pissed me off 'cause I had already paid her up front. Anyway, she told me to f-ck off since I couldn't get erect anyway and I said I wanted my money back but she screamed at me to leave. So I took a couple of joints off her bedside table and left while trying top pull my pants up. The next guy seemed alright, and came out on the porch asking if I was alright. I told him everything was cool, but the problem was with those two hookers in the run down house. We lit up a couple of joints and then I left. I wonder whatever happend to that long haired freaky guy..? My hair fell out. Terry D. P.S. You were right about them bitches.

Originally posted by tamoore I still don't believe it, but it sounds cool! Thanks for the finish It's far from finished. Unless Lee decides it's finished! That was the hardest segment to tell in PG fashion. I hope I succeeded. The rest is easy, and the most interesting part of the story. Terry D.

Originally posted by tamoore Damn it! POST THE END! Sure, here it is, just for you: "...and that's the last time I ever saw her. THE END." You're welcome. Terry D.

Originally posted by ratthedd Is Phil still around at the LS&P forum? I think if we're ever gong to get to the punchline of this story we're gonna have to get it from a different source. If you don't like it, I'll stop. Just having a little emotional catharsis here, nothing to see, move along..... Terry D.

Originally posted by TheAtomicJeff I raise my "bullsh*t" flag on this story. That's exactly what it is, a fictional story. You're a good writer though. That's exactly what I'll say when one of the people in the story discovers this and calls their lawyer. Honestly, you're wrong on both counts. I'm not a good writer, I can't make up interesting stuff. This happened and these are real people. The dialog, of course, may not be precisely accurate as it happened some years ago. But the story is true. Terry D. P.S. And don't underestimate the HC forum demographic. Over in the Stupid Stories thread I've been contacted by two people who are in the stories. Fortunately, neither of them are pissed about it and one even joined in. I thought it was very interesting to hear the experiences we lived through together from his point of view.

Originally posted by Deef Isn't this how Mixerman got started? Deef I think I might actually be older than Mixerman, if that's even possible. In any case, I've been doing this on HC for about three and a half years. Since I'm a former live sound guy, most of my stories revolve around the insane life of a touring sound guy. You can read those HERE But I always felt I should only post stories that had at least something to do with live sound gigs on that thread, and that excludes a lot of stories. I also don't want to do anything to get that forum mod'ed since it's one of the few that currently is not. So far Lee hasn't slapped my wrist for these, and I won't go any raunchier than I have so far. There's a way to tell any story, including real world stories that involve sex without getting too coarse, I think. It's still going to be a little touchy getting part III down without crossing the line, though. Terry D.

Originally posted by brikus To Mr Knobs : try it another way. If it scares her when you start unbuttoning her jeans, grab her hands and have her unbutton yours. Of even smoother...start unbuttoning yours first. If with these tips you manage to get poon, you HAVE to send me pics of it ! That girl is long gone. The last time I saw her, she kicked the door of her house out of it's frame, while balancing on the other leg in a cast. That was enough for me. Terry D.

Originally posted by GCDEF If you ever quite music and science, you could make a killing as an author. I don't have the imagination required for it. The stories I tell here on HC are things that really happened - I'm just recounting them. Making something interesting up is quite another skill. Terry D. P.S. Also I'm contemplating how to tell part 3 here. Part 3 contains information that is vital to the story but may be too off color for this forum. It reveals the secret hinted to in the first installment above. I'll think of something.

Originally posted by chunkathalon that sounds a bit too cruel to be funny to me What sounds strange to me is they were rude to the girl before the dude was done. Otherwise it has the ring of truth from my experience. Then again, when you're on the road and dead tired, having ingested a few illegal substances..... Terry D.

For those of you who haven't checked out this thread over on the Live Sound Forum, there are quite a few groupie stories embedded in there. I'd point you precisely to one or two, but the damn search feature is disabled. Terry D.

At home, mostly an MX2424 HD recorder. Sometimes, Adobe Audition on a 1.1GHz Pentium III. At work, Adobe Audition on a Gateway laptop (used in a moving vehicle). Also use a Larson Davis LD 3000+ analyzer with GRAS sound intensity probe. Terry D.
