Anyone else have a gig this last weekend?

We were in Tewkesbury (put GL20 5BH into Google Maps, it'll find it). Last time we played there it was dead, this time packed. Skinny barmaids with short skirts and bunny ears, plus we got invaded by a load of guys in schoolgirl skirts and wigs. Which has fine till they decided they wanted to play the drums. Buy your own kit, or an xbox, or something. On the way home I went straight on where I should have turned left and ended up god knows where. Probably had my mind on something else. Too much excitement at my age ....

Last Friday night's gig ...

Mark that looks like a lot of fun! Way friggin' cool.

Aussie Mark · August 15, 2010, 09:21:39 PM

Mark, I'm pretty sure we're the only two LBO's who gig in wigs LOL

That pic just seems to show that you're all really having a good time, how could playing Stones covers dressed up for the part not be a total kick!

My GF took some shots last night, it was a hot day here, (93 degress) no A/C at the venue, I always have fun playing but I think I'm just sweating like a barnyard animal here - Wigs aren't always fun

Mark, you always look great ~~even~~ especially if you are sweating like a barnyard animal...

Since we all wear flight suits it gets hot and sticky pretty fast at Hawk Attack shows, I think the lights are the worst bit, but no AC sucks.

How's the new drummer?

Sounds like someone got caught in a temporal-shift due to overheating of the dilithium chrystals...

Could always try a portable A/C with a coupling valve, especially if you all have suits with elasticated cuffs and ankles...

Yeah, pump about 60 PSI into the suit and then you can moonlight as Bib, the Michelin man.
