Sorry Eugene. Everyone who might have been at the sams place show, I am sorry (all 4 of you and the other bands). I got a call from Tim of the shudders about a show that the band that gordon our ex drummer is in at a club called Sams place. Most of my favorite bar wenches from the tiny work at Sams and I really like the guys in gordons new band (they used to be in Captain Punk Rock) so I said sure! (First rule of improv is to say yes). I confirmed with Tim and put it on our calender. Earlier this week I emailed gordon to get load in times. (no response) I have been moving and our drummer has been breaking up with his live in g/f and moving so we had to pay to rent a space downtown to cram for this gig (I hate cramming for gigs I am soooo ready to do new stuff ((Busholini Kareoke anyone???)). I have new stuff! It is not in this band !!! WTFO!?? I call the bar to see when we are supposed to come down since I didnt get a load in from the other band. They coundt get an authoritative answer so I told the manager that we would be down at 9. I didnt want to go to proactice without a load in time and get shit about communication from the band. I am still sick and tired and bummed that we dont have more together and we practice sans drummer and I am sick and tired and I want to bring back the stuff that has been edited out of the band and to work on new stuff but we practice to where I feel that we wont be embarassed and I walk home and go to sleep. This morning I get up with my usual dread every time I go to eugene and I call tim who gives me a couple of numbers and I call the band who booked the show and they say its on! So i get on the buss to Eugene. At about 3 pm I get a call from the band booking the show. It is not on. I was able to tell the band before they waisted another 5 USGis to come down here for nothing. Drat. Double Drat! I talked to Evin Marshal last week and he said we should be able to play the next Punks and Pints he puts on. Hope to see you then then. Again appy poli logies
