Let’s Get Obtuse!
I don’t know if you know this, but they’re sending in the National Guard because @Dew Knot Humps is playing the Montrose Saloon tonight with his band On the Sun.

I’mma try and be there because I’ve got major unresolved beef with their singing drummer, Dr. Cletus Horatio Rock.

So if you wanna fight/kiss multiple forumites on a single night, this might be your best chance since Pragestock or that time weebz entered a wet tee shirt contest.
 
And if you need a place to run and hide after that.... We're playing 2 hours east of there on Saturday. :helper:

I too was born in Chicago. Don't remember much about it, we moved South before I was in Kindergarten, which I dropped out of after a couple of weeks. Kindergarten was just half a day back then, don't understand why I couldn't at least ride the school bus with my older brother and sister to get there so, my parents would only have to make one 30 miles round trip to bring me home. They said all I did was eat cookies and take a nap and I could do that at home.

I do remember a policewoman. I was playing a game with my mom, she would say I need some corn, she'd give me a coin, I'd go to the kitchen, bring her a can of corn. After a couple of times, she gave me a long list and I decided to go to the store.

Kindergarten drop out. Very sad. Forced to work at the corn store before he ever learned to read.

I read this in Grandpa Simpson's voice in my head.
 
I was born in Chicago. We hit Route 66 for California when I was a couple of months old.
I've visited family a few times. Vienna beef Chicago dogs, pizza, and The Cubs are the things I liked most.

Big thanks to punk kitty and Big Peen for making it out last night!

It was a fun night, not our best show but that will happen.

When we got there they told us we had to put our gear in the garage behind the club:

So instead of getting upset I promptly filled our dressing room with hot babes and busted out the weed pipes.

Not sure what time we went on but it wasn’t 10 pm. Cranked out a ten song 45 minute set that seemed like it went by really quick. The club is small so it’s a vocal only PA, sound on the tiny stage was good. Once I got set up I played a lush G#maj6addmi13 chord and the sound guy said “you need to turn down a little.” I pretended to because in my opinion a 30 watt amp turned halfway up isn’t too loud.

The only bummer about the night was at the end of the night when they handed me an envelope that I thought would be stuffed with cash because we drew pretty well, by my estimate we had at least ten people pay the $15 coverI’m not and never have been in it for the money. If the path you choose is playing all original music you are not going to get paid much.

However I was mildly insulted and a little sad when I opened the envelope and pulled out our $30. But it was still a really fun evening of rock and roll.
