Why am i starting a blog you ask...well read on and you will understand!
Yesterday was by far the craziest day in the history of human evolution!
The six of us: Me, John, Jay, Joe, Neen and Katie where ready to go to Leicester for a gig.
Here is a run down of how a normal day turned into a brain fuck:
1) Late for practice
2) Ran the set through, superfly fast
3) Left late for Leicester
4) Didn't actually get out of Liverpool for like 45mins
5) Half way to Leicester we had realised we'd forgot the Merch' box (rendering Neen and Katie useless/helpless victims)
6) Best band name suggestion ever: Kentucky Fried Awesome
7) Bit of backtracking on the motor way
8) Finally got to Leicester to find out all the local bands had pulled out (No crowd) Three bands playing...all from outside of Leicester
9) Random Pizza Hut trip where Arnold Schwarzenegger became an even bigger legend and Joe ate Goblin testicles
10) Back to venue to find at the absolute most, SIX attendees had arriveed. Minus of course, our selves, the other band, and the bar men!
11) First band...decent! All the way from Americana...
12) Second band...fucking hilarious!
13) We played to Neen and Katie, and two members from the other band
14) Packed the fuck up and got off...
Let me stop at the half way point because from here i think we all thought "OK that was a waste of time, pain in the arse day...lets go home...finally! Lets end this day"
HOW WRONG WE WERE!
Continued:
15) Left Leicester, made first stop for coffee
16) No less than 20 minutes later, all of a sudden we are completely lost. Seeing signs for Sheffield !?!?
17) Executive decision...go to Sheffield, plan Sat Nav' route from there. 36 Miles to Sheffield...
19) Got to Sheffield, Sat Nav' took forever to load up drove around Sheffield looking for something to whack in the Sat Nav'
20) Route planned...no other choice but Snakes Pass. Just incase your unaware, Snakes Pass is essentially a mountain.
21) Couldn't find Snakes Pass, thought we were going the wrong way...lots of three point turns involved!
22) Found it! All of a sudden we hit this fucking corner, where a quiet van goes from "Zzz, zzz, zzz" into "Woaaaaah"..."Slooooow Dowwwwn!"
23) Terrifying drive containing tales of:
Def Leppards drummers lost arm
How were going to die in the van
Blended road kill
etc
24) Got off Snakes Pass eventually into a heap of shit town called Glossip...the home run!
25) Glossip/Manchester/Chester/ PIT STOP * Wirral/Liverpool...HOME!!!
* Funny toilet story...which only van people can know
June 5th - Leicester (and beyond) was for lack of a better saying... "Head Mental"
Things we learned:
Arnie is a bigger legend now, than ever
Rock and Roll 101#
6 people can survive these tales of peril
Kentucky Fried Awesome is our new band name
NO FUN and ALL FUN
AT THE SAME TIME
