This thread is for the purpose of capturing all those great-yet-horrible stories of your life as a musician playing live music. These stories might include such things as:

- band mates who just didn't work out, and the story explains why...

- gigs where the accommodations did not meet your expectations or standards

- how about that time where you got booked at a place that was NOT the right audience for your music?

- crazy audience members / fans / groupies (try to keep it PG-13)

- nefarious club owners who tried to cheat you out of the agreed upon deal

- the night somebody's gear stopped working and what happened next...

- the guy in the audience who took an irrational dislike for somebody in the band and tried to stir up some drama...

- gigs with famous artists

- missed or seized career opportunities

- booking agent drama!

- band girlfriends and how they (sometimes?) undermine the band

- the time the club caught on fire or the police came or whatever...

- the time somebody spilled a pitcher of beer on your amp/drums

- the time somebody knocked your bass off the guitar stand and snapped the head right off

- and of course, we all want to hear about the time somebody stole your gear

- any other event, real or imagined, that has entertainment value

ready? set? GO!!
