Friends of ours have the perfect set up for entertaining - covered patio, fire pit etc.. so we go to their house quite often in the Fall, Winter, early Spring.. We have a good set up, as well, covered patio with a hot tub, but I don't really want anyone in the hot tub lol
When we do shows, we always have a get together before the show, where all the close friends going to the show come over to get ready and whatnot.. We always have lots of snacks and booze and there's always a lot of semi-naked chicks running around in various stated of dress and undress.. it sucks being a musician, ya know?
Friendship is like peeing your pants.. Everybody can see it, but only you can feel the warmth..
