I miss it so much........

July 31, 2026 07:12AM
Was a TREMENDOUS amount of work.. MY work for each show started a month before each show, programming lights and putting together stage outfits and losing weight and doing everything necessary to do that show the way I wanted it done.. The singer used to cry about how much work it was and the only thing he EVER did was cancel practices.. I did everything - setlists that were quite in-depth with lighting cues, and video cues and whatnot.. I made the intro projector videos with badass intro music that were sooooo coll.. I did the printed flyers, digital flyers, set up the facebook events etc.. I handled band pad rent and utilities I did it all..

..and he quit because he thought he did too much work.. He didn't even help set up or tear down equipment.. I replaced stage bulbs and fog juice and decorations out of my pocket.. it used to piss me off BIGTIME that we did a 4 way equal split of the money when I did 97% of the work.. and I didn't care as long as I got to do the shows.. Hell, one time I Was in the middle of setting up the lights and one of the guys made a taco run.. I said to just save one for me and I'll be there in 20 minutes.. I got there and there were no tacos.. I was told he ate the last one after eating 5 more.. So, I was the only guy who didn't get to eat.. Absolutely ridiculous..

But I still miss it.. I need to get another band rolling.. I am a bit afraid I'll blackout running across the stage and end up in the 5th row.. So be it! Let's rock!



Friendship is like peeing your pants.. Everybody can see it, but only you can feel the warmth..
