Nick Berry had talent in a previous life
Well, last night was eventful to say the least. We played a gig at Reflections in Lowestoft, didn't expect too much from it because practices have been a bit shit and last time we played there the sound was crap. Anyway, it was looking a bit dodgy because Garth turned up looking like death, he reckoned that he'd felt like shit all day and must be coming down with something, sound guy was late turning up, nobody had the chance to soundcheck. We ended up going on first, no idea what time it was but the place was already pretty packed, one of the biggest crowds we've played too I would think, although we weren't really amazing it was still a pretty good performance. Garth managed to break one of his "unbreakable" sticks which then flew up and smashed this light that was above me, it shattered it completely, glass everywhere, very impressive. I managed to put my guitar out of tune during pretty much every song by playing too hard and then to top it all off Wayne broke a string and decided to throw his guitar down. We're so rock n' roll haha. People seemed to like us though, it was pretty cool and we've been asked to go back and play a charity gig there for the tsunami disaster.
So that was the performance side of it, that was then followed by the drinking side of it. Alex got abused by some drunk twelve year old, it was amusing. The amount of underage kids in there drinking wasn't so funny though, it just got a bit annoying. Later on some really fucking drunken scottish bloke pushed past me at the bar and mumbled something, I couldn't understand him, not sure if it was the just the scottishness or the drunkeness as well. A couple of minutes later when me and Wayne were talking the same drunken scottish twat started shouting some shit towards me, his mate said "just ignore him, he's drunk" to which I replied "No, really?", I was told not get lippy, I laughed, some people have no sense of humour. Lowest form of wit? Is it fuck.
The other notable thing that happened was the appearance of Garth's stalker type ex, she was hassling him for most of the night. Garth said he'd give her a lift home because her mate had left already but later decided that he'd had enough of her hassling him so he legged it. Said girl then kept asking me where Garth was, most awkward, I made some excuses but I don't know how believable they were. Anyway, she went looking for him again and started to get chatted up by some drunks, who did she come to for help? Moi. Not a problem really because I did feel bad, she was all on her own and Garth had fucked her over a bit, only problem was that we then got chatting a bit and she asked for my number and now i've been getting a few texts from her today haha. Now, she seems like a nice girl to me and she's certainly very pretty but the fact that she is Garths ex could make things awkward and also the fact that he refers to her as his "psycho stalker ex" worries me a little. How queer.
