We (as in Force Fed Lies) played copperfields in Boston last night and it was good fun. Thanks to all the bands on the bill. There are several highlights in the night that made the night, I will do my best to commit to writing in chronological order.
8pm-
Load in, yup. That time of the night again, carrying heavy things and acting manly. It was not too bad as there is a back door to the bar.
8:30pm-
Brandon our unofficial official photographer has a fantastic thought, as our bassist is known for his tardiness to shows, he joked to start a bet on what time he would arrive. I take the joke as a literal sugegstion and voice it to the boys by betting $1 that he would arrive at 11pm, 15min over/under. It is followed by the rest of the band placing bets, and also Bill from The Turkeys asks, "Hey, whats the action?" and we explain the action. Soon we have a pool of $10 between two bands ranging of arrival time from 'On Time" to "Not Showing"
9pm-
Pork Fried Rice, A.K.A. PFR (our Bassist, Name withheld by request) has not shown yet. We continue to drink, be merry, and play games. One of the games is a basket balll arcade game, i quickly figure out I do not have ups.
9:30pm-
PFR has not arrived yet, I decide a round of shots is in order. Chilled Crown served, watching proby (Danny) cry a little bit from bourbon, and Joe begins his attempt of a nap in the corner where the bands are keep the gear.
10pm-
PFR arrives, I am shocked he arrived that early (well, early for him). Joe awakes to Nate poking at him, we continue to drink, and be merry. (The be merry part clearly is subjective). Brian's family arrives, his father, uncle, and brother.
10:30pm-
Still at that drinking thing
Now we fast forward as the rest of time involves watching other bands, more drinks, and more video games. Also gas which Joe hears and Nate smells.
12am-
Drea arrives so now we have two photographers, we play, as usual we break things (Danny with his amp and PFR breaks his strap off as well as yet again stepping on my volume pedal. Mental note, PFR is baned from myside of the stage to prevent him from stepping on my god damn volume pedal).
1am-
We finish playing and we load out, bunch of sweaty dudes moving heavy things.
Yup, thats how it all went.
