No Such Thing as a Bad Gig

[Michael Render]

I had an early gig today. I played at the Ohio Clown College graduation show/


I had Mario and the guys at Alternate Mode send me a MalletKat Pro to play with. I used a Receptor to make most of the noises. And, of course, I have a FART noise.

Michael, are you sure you haven't just slipped into an alternative reality world?

Ohio Clown College graduates??? (I will resist temptation.....)

Please tell me that as you played, the equipment fell apart, and you had old-style squeaky car hooters on your feet!

[V(ader)DRUMMER]

Hey, Render, did they teach you how to load the Mondor into a tiny, tiny car along with 10 of your closest friends?

[Swaledale]

You had us fooled there, Michael. After looking again at that top left picture you posted I realised you were really at the V-drum Moderator's Annual Away-day Meeting. Bunch of Clowns!

Has that clown got your power jewel on his nose?

[SuperPuss]

Ohio Clown College graduation show?
Actually, that sounds like fun!

OOOOH! A Malletkat pro! Cool piece of equipment! I hope to own one before the end of days......do I have to go to clown school?

[ige87]

Yes.




Or not.

The most amazing thing is that they are now made from aluminum. I already had an older expander and it weighs as much as the whole 3 octave deal.

And I think you do have to go to some sort of clown school before you get one.

'Dem clowns is creepy..........

Looks like a fun gig!

Careful... gigs like that make you start looking at things differently...for instance:

If your shoes/nose starts sqeaking it could be a sign your tiny little car is running out of whoopie cushion power.

Make sure you get the elephant and all 38 other people out of the car, pull out your never ending hankerchief and wait for the pie face before driving any further. If that doesn't get you moving, take a nice big whiff of the flower on your buddies lapel.

-you should be ok after that...

-as long as it isnt his secret supply of Vodka!

[Michael Render]

Does that mean I shouldn't drive to gigs in this?

[ige87]

Oh no, that looks perfectly fine.

[evil1rox]

Does that mean I shouldn't drive to gigs in this?

On the contrary...

I'm sure in that pic you also had the entire Mondor, every piece of Alternate Mode gear you own, Mrs Render, your entire extended family, random hitch hikers, Tom Knipe...and I'm probably in there without my knowledge.

-can you point me towards the dealship? I have a Bazillion Samolians that I would like to invest in their company.
