Members turdadactyl Posted September 9, 2009 Members Share Posted September 9, 2009 The old saying "when it rains it pours" is so damn true. I was completely mired in this music-less suck world for almost exactly 3 years. Then I start getting some auditions. Then I join Keystoned. Now I'm making up for lost time and LOVING IT!!!! My week this week: Sunday - Keystoned hosted open mic and played for like 2 1/2 hours Monday - off Tuesday - Keystoned gig in Philly Wednesday - practice Thursday - Keystoned gig in West Chester, PA Friday - Fill-in gig in Exton, PA Saturday - off Sunday - Keystoned at open mic And we've got more gigs on the books through September and October as well as fill-in gigs. Not sure who I was nice to, but I'm so happy that SOMETHING finally made the worm turn. That is all. Back to reading about {censored} you care about.

Members k7mto Posted September 9, 2009 Members Share Posted September 9, 2009 Right on, Doug! Keep posting this stuff. I love hearing about what others are doing. I quit playing for many years as well and I jumped back in a couple of years ago. We started gigging within a month of my joining the band and haven't had more than a 2 week break since. And it's great! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members turdadactyl Posted September 9, 2009 Author Members Share Posted September 9, 2009 Btw K7mto, there was a female sword swallower who went on a couple acts before us last night. It's amazing how even a...ummm...how do I say this...not-so-attractive woman can become very intriguing when showing off a talent like that.

Members danrothmusic Posted September 10, 2009 Members Share Posted September 10, 2009 that's awesome, Turd; glad to hear you're getting some work (some real work anyways...doesn't being a lawyer keep you buys enough?) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members turdadactyl Posted September 10, 2009 Author Members Share Posted September 10, 2009 Hey, if anybody's in the area, we're playing tonight at The Note in West Chester - Bam Margera's place. As for whether real work keeps me busy enough...well, it occupies plenty of my time, that's for sure. But I wouldn't trade the gigs for anything. If going to work tired is the price to pay for happiness, I'm buying. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I can't count the number of times I've rolled into bed around 3am and been at my desk working (I work from home) by 7am. Nothing a few gallons of caffeine won't cure Thankfully, though, most gigs are on weekends. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members turdadactyl Posted September 11, 2009 Author Members Share Posted September 11, 2009 So, we didn't play a show tonight. We ended up playing TWO shows tonight. Gotta love it. We played a set at The Note, a very cool club in West Chester PA with a great sound system. Then somehow we end up driving 40 minutes (shoulda been 20, but that's another story) to a bar to jump on the house band's gear and play another set because the "guest bartender" was a friend of our guitarist and bassist. Whacky night. I thought I'd be home hours ago. So not complaining! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
