Title: 100 A**hole degrees today and my band rehearsed.
Post by: Blazer on May 24, 2009, 04:34:01 PM: Well it's nearly June so it's not that surprising that summer temperatures are coming again and today we found out that our rehearsal space isn't really that suited for rehearsing with that kind of temps.

But let's go back six months, after rehearsing at the "Muziek Gieterij" for over two years and enduring ongoing bullying during that time, we were falsely accused of theft and shown the door. Now the space at the "Muziek Gieterij" where we used to rehearse was awesome, full Marshall stacks, Ampeg Bass amps and the room itself was forty by forty foot which was properly heated during winter and properly air conditioned during summer, it was paradise.

So after we got booted out of the "Muziek Gieterij" we found a place to rehearse elsewhere which is a small building that doesn't even have a second story and a flat roof. The rehearsal space is not even 12 foot by 12 foot so it's very cramped and we have to play over old malfunctioning amps and a gnarly drumkit.

Take in mind what I stated: our current rehearsal space is 12x12 and it has a FLAT roof, now take in mind that it was 100 degrees outside and the sun is shining directly on the roof. We were being cooked alive in there. We all took a lot of drinks with us but it wasn't enough. As I'm typing this down, it's five hours after I got home and I'm still light headed and feeling extremely unwell because of that. And according to the forecast, this hot and humid weather will continue for two weeks.

I hate summer.
