h2g2 The Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy: Earth Edition

On the back of a box of green tea:
"Ingredients: Green tea"
Well, it made /me/ chuckle.

Brian May is mentioned on the front page!

I had the most awful practise session last night, and the gig, my FIRST gig, is on saturday night. I want to curl into a ball, burn my guitar and leave the country, In whichever order is most workable.

All in all, had a pretty shit day yesterday.

I put the CD Mike gave me (with the tracks we're doing on saturday) on repeat last night, and went to sleep with it on, cycling through endlessly. It's still going- I can hear All Right Now coming from my bedroom for possibly the 100th time since I dropped off last night. I'm hoping the repetition in my subconscious will somehow help me to *NOT* f**k up on saturday.

Are You Gonna Go My Way is first on the set list, and that's where it all started going wrong... If I mess that up, I'll be wound up for the night and I won't do a single thing right. ***one, two, three, four, one, two, three, four and /chink, k'chink, k'chink, k'chinky-chinky/ and repeat 8 times, ending on the 2nd "k'chink" while Mike solos over the top of it...*** Just as long as I start counting in the right place...

the greent tea package makes one thing about the things that might be included, like all the chemicals (fertilizers and pesticides etc).

On the other hand with all that music running around in one's head it is hard to keep anything straight. I hope you do well tonight. Although it will be your tonight whe you receive this so I hope everything went well.

In the words of Bill and Ted "Wild Stallion" rock on.

You will survive.

...also I am snubbed.

So, yesterday, my conversation with you is so easily forgotten?

Your total day was completely shit?

How sad

Conversations with you are generally rather voluminous... you will have to remind me which part you are referring to

Also, what makes you say you are snubbed?

TK[1]

You're going to do just fine, my little Rock King...

lol

TK[1]

again I seem to be ncluded in a conversation that is not really with me so I'll bow out

Bah!

volumious...

So you finally add in your two bits?

Well, I am not a conversationcrat (the sole speaker of Words for people to absorb), so you are permitted to add in your two bits at any time.

volumious...

fine then, I won't speak a word.

I was refering to my wonderfully fabulous good presence.



But now ...not a word more

*I am in silence*

but like i said before,

"you will survive"

everyone here seems to be giving you the *ok* support you need to keep you bloistered.

No one here has actually heard me play, though...

TK[1]

Hope all goes well

Excuse me, I have heard you play, Mister... And I'll bet you're blowing an audience's mind right as I type.

Unc- Thanks, it did!

EE- You've heard edited highlights... and no one can describe a few chords as 'mind blowing', but I'm flattered by your confidence

TK[1]

Brilliant

Well, I got a cheer when John did the "and on rhythm guitar..." bit, rather than a boo, so I take that to be a good sign .
Also, when I did the intro to I Believe In A Thing Called Love (yes, all by myself!), all the Darkness fans instantly recognised it and cheered! Was a great feeling!

TK[1]

Great , I know the feeling, though not through guitar playing

What do you know it through?

TK[1]

Story telling, used to go into the local school and make up stories as I went along. Got loads of letters asking for another one and used to get a huge cheer when I got my chair and sat down . As far as musical ability goes I can sing in tune and that's about the limit of it

Glad to hear the gig went well. Does your lead singer manager the falsetto on 'I believe in a thing called love'? (By the way, I lurve that song.

Going right back to the anecdote at the start of this thread, I have in my cupboard a box of nettle tea and on this box are the words ‘100% natural’. Oh, well that’s alright then, I mean, I wouldn’t want to be drinking something made from unnatural nettles.
