[QUOTE=sweet_nothings]I care.

That's so cool! I don't really know what to say, but thanks for sharing. I'm happy for you.[/QUOTE]

hey thanks! :) this whole "falling in like" thing is too rare for me, thanks to my absurd pickiness (as well as my contentness with being alone).....so when I actually do find someone I click with, and it actually does go somewhere....well damnit, I love it! :)

ok, I'll shut up now.

hahahah sounds like it's almost worth the loss, though! I mean....must have been a fun night to almost get kicked out and all!

Corkofski 03-11-2006 02:47 AM

meh, not really
i got stupidly drunk, and my mate kicked me in the back and i passed out.

they took me in the bar and fed me water, then told me i could sit in a chair at the back to watch the gig or get iout

as it was, health and safety raided and we all got kicked out cos a fire door got stuck

Double Bass Jim 03-11-2006 02:55 AM

Sounds like a fun night... :rolleyes:

Yer ur right

What's that? You want to hear about my day? I think I can spare you a few minutes.

Where to start... well, I woke up a couple hours after the crack of the dawn. There was no sign of the crisp morning air, no dew on the grass.. only my neighbour crankin the angle grinder. It was off to the drum shop for me.

I went to buy some mesh heads for my DIY e-kit in progress. Sadly, they only had 2 mesh in stock so I had to put some on order. I'm so close to finishing and now I have to wait another week or two. Pics!

All that's left is sticking mesh heads on the rest of the kit and converting the cymbals into e-cymbals. I've converted one and I'm quite happy with it, just have to do the rest. I also have a guide in the works for those who are interested.

Have you guys ever thought maybe there is a big name drummer on this forum... Mike Portnoy or Neil Peart for example, and they are using another username for a disguise? That would be cool...

I would be hilarious if Travis Barker was here. Maybe he is; maybe he's one of the people that always defends Barker. :lol:

Jezen 03-11-2006 10:26 AM

Well Portnoy posts on online drum forums alot, but I think he sticks to his own..

Well, Andy Edwards posts here...

styler 03-11-2006 10:34 AM

man, last night was amazing for like everybody apparently. i had a professional rehearsal in a recording studio with my band, then we all went to dinner, then we bought 4 dozen eggs, and went to chav-town. used up all of our eggs, came home, spent the night doing nothing on graveyard. and then walking home with a extra large cup of hot chocolate.

i love life. now if i only i could find a gal :(

edit: honestly, i had never heard of andy edwards before the forums.

Jezen 03-11-2006 10:44 AM

Yeah I hadn't heard of Andy, but I had heard of Craig Blundell and he has been here.
Maybe one day Rodger Hempsall will come here. I wish...

Oh crud I may have to cancel/change my lesson with Rodger tomorrow, as I have a gig in Sunderland. I have a laminated card thing that says:

[CENTER][QUOTE][SIZE="3"]University of Sunderland[/SIZE]

[SIZE="5"]JAZZ FESTIVAL[/SIZE]

[SIZE="3"]Signed.................[/SIZE][/QUOTE][/CENTER]


Cool huh? Oh yeah and I will be hopefully picking up my Big Dog hat stand tomorrow.


EDIT: Can it get better? It does. I'm leaving in 15 mins to go see my girlfriend cheerleading. She's a Newcastle Viper Vixen!

styler 03-11-2006 10:46 AM

Jezen 03-11-2006 10:47 AM

Only an orchestral one so far.

I don't know why my Pots and Pans video isn't showing on Google yet.

styler 03-11-2006 10:48 AM

Jezen 03-11-2006 10:50 AM

No objection here. :)

poppinfresh 03-11-2006 11:14 AM

hey pauly, nice job there. how do the mesh heads feel in comparsan to real heads. is it possilbe to play with them semi loose like toms wouldbe without damaging them, how close can you get them.

SkaRabbit 03-11-2006 11:55 AM

BB You will love the hat stand...it is such a monster.

Janeway 03-11-2006 11:55 AM

I can't decide which burritos I like better.
The $.89 Tina's from the gas station, or the slightly more expensive ones from Sam's club with actual beans and chicken product in them.
The Sam's club ones are spicier but don't go as good with hot sauce.
Hmm...

AND GOD CRAP!
Today is my last lesson, and I'm getting stuck doing jam sessions every saturday from now until May.

Dream theater was amazing. Portnoy was really fun to watch. He would be playing, then toss one of his sticks 40 feet off to the side of the stage, somebody would catch it. Then he would throw it back to Portnoy and he caught it and kept playing. really cool.

Panopticon 03-11-2006 01:03 PM

sweet...im going to see DT on the 22nd of March...

fishbulb' 03-11-2006 01:06 PM

Where?

And they opened with the root of all evil, then i forgot what was with that set. The second set opened with as i am, then these walls, then eventually octavarium. The encore was a couple songs, the last being learning to live. Portnoy rocked.

Panopticon 03-11-2006 01:08 PM

Massey Hall in Toronto, Ontario...

*Jelousy speaking*

Silly rabbit, stick tricks are for kids!

He should have spent his time coming up with new fills....

fishbulb' 03-11-2006 01:18 PM

It was fun watching him spit too. After a long fill and a stop in the music he would jump up while hitting the cymbals and spit over onto petrucci's amps.

Panopticon 03-11-2006 01:19 PM

yeah...lol...thats why petrucci got a spit shield:lol:

rockindrummer 03-11-2006 01:22 PM

Sounds like you had a great time fish.

I really hope tool comes through here for their new cd! I really want to see them live.

fishbulb' 03-11-2006 01:28 PM

I had a blast. I like his bonham setup on the side of his big one.

Loyton 03-11-2006 01:55 PM
