Went to a jam night last night at a pub in Chelmsford. Just a local covers band that do a set and then people can stick their name down and play a couple of songs etc, good drunken fun.
I get up and we play Another Brick in The Wall (with 17-that-day female guitarist....mmmmmm...young.....) and a couple of blues jams. Excellent fun, I was pie-faced and happy.
Some bloke comes up afterwards and says:
"you in a band?"
"...er yeah"
"want to play a couple of gigs with a blues band?"
"..er yeah alright"
"Here's my number, we'll rehearse next week, come along"
"alright. I'm pished"
"Doesn't matter, oh what're you doing Bank Holiday weekend in August?"
"Dunno"
"We're playing a festival, that's why we want you. Fancy doing it?"
"alright"
"We'll sort out accomadation etc, Friday, Sat, Sun we're doing gigs. 50 min set, straight blues numbers, you'll walk it"
"alright...I'm going for a slash now. Bye"
So I mash drums in a drunken rock style in Chelmsford, next thing you know I'm in a 3-piece blues outfit booked to play here:

Life's strange. But in a good way. And I totally had sex last night.
I rule.

Yeah you're right, though it could have sounded like something else, it is hard to speak with your mouth (slightly) full.
Meh
The idea of playing a one-off gig at the country's biggest blues festival, having accomodation provided and basically spending 3 days wandering backstage in a drunken fug appeals. And all because I drank and played a Floyd cover.
Sometimes life just works out like that.

I know young girls like older men, but you're over estimating your pulling power just a little if you think she'll go with somebody old enough to remember where they were the day, um... (thinks of someone old) LINCOLN was shot! Yeah, Lincoln. I'm implying you're several hundred years old.
Seriously though, well done on being in a drunken mess and managing to get some, um, work. Hope you have fun.

No I didn't. I just said that you put in a fair performance, as usual.
She's blonde, petite, fantastic shirt-spuds and a mean little guitar player.
But I was there with current squeeze, so hands-off with 17yr old.
Besides, I played my ass off for 2 songs, came back to the bar all sweaty and current Ms Goatboy says into my ear "You are *so* coming home with me tonight"

If it were, I remember him doubting if he should or shouldn't sleep with a 21 year old a couple of months back.
