Sooo...
For anyone who missed our gig last night, I have only two words...Thank God!
Our regular drummer, who is amazing, couldn't make last night and recommended a sub. (He's done this in the past and we've never had a problem). So, the sub gets lost on the way to the gig. Not the most professional thing in the world, especially with things like Mapquest at his disposal, but whatever. He gets there a half hour after we are supposed to start. Only problem is that, as he is setting up, we happen to notice that he is really slurring his speech. Nope, not some medical condition causing this, he is completely hammered. He sets up, proceeds to the bar for a bloody mary, a beer, and a shot, and some nachos, then goes and sits at a table to eat. We have to explain to him that we already should have been playing. He grabs his nachos, sits them behind his kit, and we start playing. It becomes clear in the first 8 bars of the music that he is not going to be playing well at all. It was a tough night.
Needless to say, he has now been crossed off the future sub list.
