How Many Pens Have I Got In My Pocket?? Wrong!

Quite a bad week for gigs this week...unfortunate things happened...Monday - Was playing at Henrys Cellar bar with billy liar, had forgotten to go plectrum shopping so had to scour my room, and could only find 2 black ones. Met John and Iain at Emondo, for a pint, a bottle of wine, and some tequilas. Then went to Henrys for the gig to start. First band on were mixing punk with Celtic classics, and were actually well good. Not sure what they were called tho..Dave showed up 3 mins before we were due on. First couple tunes went well(with the exception of iains guitar sounding mince)...then things started to go awry. Dave started the usual spot, missing the new intro i was expecting.. so i had a bottle still in my hand. Iain then threw his guitar down, and things got a bit hazy for me... Iain ended up lying on the ground in a pool of his own blood. Apparently, his guitar input got completely mashed when he threw it down. John noticed this, iain did not, so john started edinburgh, iain was pissed off by this and so threw a tantrum, smacking his face off the microphone. The song kindof plodded along for a while, before we stopped, and finished the set. I got a kebab.. shocking.Not good...and more gigs like this won't be tolerated.Tuesday - Worked from 10-2 as a client porter, was fairly straightforward.Went out to daves bday first at emondo, then to festival with roisin. Found out Annies back in the country! Headed to opium where the drinks were flowing and alchohol was being consumed. Met many ppl, including Rebo and Jamie who were out, but didnt know each other. Had a kindof random pool competition, in which it was me, roisin and laura against some guy who was good and not drunk. I had 1 shot and we lost. Mad. Left for i had work at 7 the next morningI got a kebab... Not bloody good, its ruining me. Wednesday - Worked all day, Drove through with Maisie, Martin, Wilson and Richard to see Bloc Party. Unfortunately missed Foals. Cribs were alright, sound wasnt brilliant. Bloc Party good as usual, although they missed some songs including the raven one which i love! Driving home i got pulled over and breathalised. Suits me cos i dont drink and drive.Thursday - Wasnt meant to be working, but covered half of wilsons shift. It was alright, fairly straightforward.Friday - Workin all day, finished at 5 and was straight to Emondo. Then to mr modos for some coctails then to emondo, then to mr modos, then to cuba norte where i met the techs. Then to Festival where we met Marlene and Karen, then finally to the hive, where i met craig among other folk including my sis, Twins Jamie and Alec. Got introduced to 1 of my sisters mates from college, apparently i said to them "how many pens have i got in my pocket, right now?" they hesitated of course, at the suprise of being asked such a question. so i says "wrong!" and smacked him on the head. Then i went for a kebab with craig, finally im not a social outcast!Saturday - Woke up and thought fuck im drunk, i need to drive iain to kircaldy. took possibly the longest route to kircaldy, taking many wrong turns. Picked up iains newly fixed guitar. Went into a nice wee pub for a coke and a toastie, the coke was immense. The barman was actually the most pleasant guy iv met. Made it just in time for work, got changed and gave iain some application forms. Quiet day really. Finshed at 7 and went up to the hive for our gig. Problems with the backline meant we didnt get to play, and we didnt get told until 10 oclock. fucking joke. Wouldnt have gone down well anyway, playing to a bunch of emo gymnasts. Who i totally showed up on the dancefloor! I love thrashing.. its so funny. John drove us home which was sound.Sunday - Work at 7, piece of piss really. Practise with the wedding bunch was good, they were all hungover from the previous nights shenanagans. Watched the finale of smallville, which is such a fucking gay cliffhanger. Next week - Final shifts at work, host meal, Return to LC, and The Wedding to End All WeddingsLooking forward to it, but im so skint its shit.Im up for it.
