From the best to the worst....
Last night officially was one of the worst nights of my life. We were to play at the Barfly with Zynk, Forgotten Tomorrow and Scallywag. I arranged transport with the other bands coz we were bringing the drum kit, and that was all sorted, so i met shev and derek(FT) and we got the train into central station, we met andy from FT and we all walked down to the Barfly, Derek was there already with Zynk and his kit, so we took all the equipment downstairs and set everything up, we stayed and sat around until our soundcheck, we played Dead Friendship as usual then Blitzkrieg Bop coz Scallywag still hadn't showed up. shev, derek and i all went around to mcdonalds to get something to eat, we got these large meals and sat in. We got back, sat around for a while just talking, and eventually the show started, Scallywag played first and were absolutely brilliant, we were up next and we even got rushy up onstage to dance for a song, lol, we didn't play our best but we played a great show. then here's where the night got really bad. Shelley MacKenzie came up to me and said ok pay up, and i was like what? she said we owed her £75 or she was keeping our instruments, so me and shev argued with her for about half an hour, saying we weren't gonna pay £75 and if we did then no other bands would be playing on our kit. eventually she gave us a deal where since we brought equipment we only had to pay £15 between the 3 of us. i panicked so much coz i didn't think we would have made it out with all our equipment, especially since my guitar is worth £330 and it's a month and 1/2 old. after the other bands had played we took apart all the equipment and sat outside and i phoned 3 taxi companies and no-one would come into glasgow, so derek ran to central station and got a taxi while me and shev waited with all the stuff. we packed all the stuff into the taxi and headed back to dereks house where i stayed for half an hour then went home. that was such a scary experience for me, and i don't want to repeat that ever again.
