Beat this Bruhs -
. 9pm Friday night show time: Elderly woman approaches
bandstand to
say hello. Trips over floor monitor and hits the deck. Haven't even
turned
on our amps yet.
. 9:30pm: intoxicated dude #1 shown the door
. 10:30pm: overzealous/intoxicated dude #2 falls into the PA
stand
while dancing to "American Band" - big GFR fan evidently - Guinness
draft
hits the floor.
. 10:30:05pm: PA crashes into Guinness draft
. 10:30:06pm: PA stand falls into guitarist's spare MusicMan
'strat
- the pricey one
. 10:30:08pm: 'strat falls into guitarist's Mesa - the
pricey one
. 10:30:15pm: I help intoxicated dude #2 up - receive friendly
electrical reminder that beer is a fairly good conductor - true
. 11:15pm: intoxicated dude #3 gets "accidentally slammed"
from
behind - turns out, he's a pal of mine. Said pal is rag-dolled into
the
guitarist and me. Bud Lite this time. Never knew that the volume of
beer
expands when airborne. Also true
. 11:15:01pm: Dude #3's beer saturates guitarist's entire
pedal
board - too many pedals to count - the pricey ones. My delay pedal
also a
bit gooey. At least the beer is not dark. Thankfully 9V stomp night
for me.
Guitarist is plugged in though. Sidebar: I'm midway through singing
"Boom,
Boom" - not kidding. Boom, Boom.
I win.
Can corroborate all.
Now taking up Parcheesi.
If I'm lyin' I'm dyin'.
