Last night’s gig was a typical one. I bash the shit out of the drums while watching the people in the audience. I check out the strange people, the hot chicks, the drunk assholes…
Last night there was a guy and a girl having a fight. It was very funny. She was a bit drunk and not talking to the guy. He kept trying to talk to her and she was hitting him and pushing him away. This happened all freaking night. If I was the guy I would have just left the dumb drunk chick there and gone home…
Thanks for the bass amp
Our female bass player had some friends who loaned her a bass amp for this gig. The stupid thing wouldn’t even turn on…. Thanks for the favor.

I guess I have a price. I can be bought. I’m a media slut.
I started the shooting of a rap video today…

The gig a couple of nights ago in this new club was a bust. The club itself was decent. There was a decent PA, the bartender/manager was an old pal. But being a last minute gig, nobody knew we were there. Looks like the band may get to open for English Beat later this month which would be cool.
Bad stats:
1. There were more people in the green room than in the audience.
2. There were more mics on my drum kit than people in the audience.
3. I think the club actually lost money on liquor, since there was more free beer consumed in the green room than the club sold.
4. “Zero” is the number of gigs the soundman had done before this one.
5. “45″ is the number of minutes it took said soundman to get the PA working for a 3 piece band (followed by our singer’s comment: “can we start playing this week sometime?”
I won’t mind playing there again, provided there’s a crowd.

Got a fairly last minute booking in a new club tonight. This club is managed by the former manager of a former club that was once the best music venue in town. A report will follow…
Also, have the metal guitar session tomorrow. Hope the guy’s marshall doesn’t fry again.

Sometimes the gigs suck. Last night didn’t. Good crowd and lots of good looking women When there are lots of good looking women, there are lots of men and the band makes bucks and has fun.
Cute blonde holding my stick
There were a lot of cute chicks with tight bodies kissing each other last night. We do get a lesbian crowd but most of them are fat. These chicks turned out to be what I heard called “lipstick lesbians.” Lipstick lesbians are hetero chicks who act like lesbos in public to get attention.

These are the things that only drummers can get a laugh out of I suppose. I broke a stick last night and the broken end flew straight into the monitor grill.

I’m about to jump in my car and drive to Vegas. I’ll be back stage at the House Of Blues for the Al Di Meola show tonight. I’ll be meeting Al Di and my pal Michael Renna for the first time and I’m very excited.
A detailed report with lots of pictures will follow.

I’m in a hurry as I’m travelling today… But here’s a quick pick to show you where I was last night:

Got a call from the singer/guitar player. We’ve been playing tons of gigs with a fill in bass player since our regular player moved to Portland. We’ve been frustrated with the fill in as he doesn’t know more than half the tunes we play. And he doesn’t seem to know any of the “cool” half either.
So the call was a voicemail letting me know we have a new bass player and “she’s cute.” Hmm… Interesting.

Just another regular gig for me last night:
1. Bashed the shit out of the drums
2. Chicks flashing their tits at the band
Rock & roll been bery bery good 2 me.
