The joys of the Megaphone
Last night, we has the usual debacle that ensues with any Creepers rehearsal. Band members turning up late, last minute dashes, apology phone calls etc etc. So, we headed off to Ferndown in Adam's car, and got stuck in one of the most godawful traffic jams that stretched all the way around Hurn airport and then some. This would usually have been a tad depressing, only this time......Adam pulled out his newly purchased megaphone, stuck his head out the window and proceded to give the passing drivers a running commentary;
"Hurry it up will ya guys?! I got a body in the trunk!"
"Jeez, I feel sorry for you lady, stuck in a traffic jam AND you got a face like that!"
"Man, if you drive like you fuck, you got a serious problem, buddy!"
"Peugeot Coupe? Couldn't afford a Porsche, huh?!"
"Space Cruiser? Man, all they do it TAKE UP space! Jeez, they wen't out in the 80's, move on my friend!"
"Oh man, the breeze feels SO good on my neck!"
And then, out came the harmonica....imagine the classic old blues riff, if you will.....
*toot TOOT toot toot* "Stuck in a traffic jaaaaaammmm..."
*toot TOOT toot toot* "Goin' nowhere fast..."
*toot TOOT toot toot* "Stop when the lights shooowww..."
*toot TOOT toot toot* "Maaaannn, I'm outta gas... I got the traffic jam bluuues...!"
Needless to say, I think our entertainment only served to antagonise everyone else around us! But hey, it made us laugh!
The rehearsal went well, we now have a couple of new songs to showcase at the Portman on the 27th and redeem ourselves from the Endorse It festival. Endorse It was ok, but we suffered from a few set-backs - dodgy sound, snapped guitar strings, alcoholic intake etc, so it will be nice to really pull the stops out and blow the roof off next Sunday!
Until then.....
