GG: No F'ing way, dude, that's the perfect sound!
SG: Uhh, I don't have you in the mix and the PA is peeling the finish off the bar...
GG: (pretends to turn down) That enough for you, wanker?
SG: let's see if that works...
GG: (to the other guitar prophet stage right) F'ing slider monkey should just do his job.
SG: I still can't get you in the mix, the mix kinda sounds like crap...
GG: well, fix it
SG: can you turn down a little more? it's a 100 person venue and you brought a XXXX. The amp sounds killer, but ears are bleeding out here...
GG: (has hissy fit) I cant' turn down anymore, I can't hear myself as it is.
later on the band is wondering why the joint was half empty all night when last weekend their buddy's band tore the place up. At the practice shack the following Tuesday they try to come up with ideas on how to get more gigs so they are playing more than every three weeks or so...
I'm not saying this is always the case, but unless there is a ticket that has your logo on it being collected at the door you're in the beer selling business.
I, too, enjoy the musical stylings of The Fantastical Straw Men.
