The Octagon Bar: [Insert Whatever Ewen Would Have Called It Here]

[starsgoblue]

Really Lauren?!

 

[lauren430]

well we'll see....but I think I could get a decently priced flight there and I have a friend near Philly so it would work out well, and apparently a rumor is that it would be in mid May, so I'd be done with school....

 

[starsgoblue]

Ugh, can't it just be tommorow already...I've been all nervous today...

 

[lauren430]

whoo now it's a show on Savannah Georgia; I love Savannah!!

Yeah this nervousness calls for a drink

 

[Chizip]

ive been to savannah too, on the way to hilton head island

 

[lauren430]

yes it's only about half an hour away; it's about 4 hours from Atlanta.

 

[starsgoblue]

Yeah, the other night I had Liquid Dope. A whole pitcher of it. It's got like 7 different brandies, vodka, all sorts of stuff with a spash of OJ....the bartender said it equals bout eight shots. Yup, I drank two pitchers. I'm not a lush I swear.

[lauren430]

damn you don't mess around....I could do that last summer when I was drinking heavily nearly every night

But now I rarely drink.

 

[starsgoblue]

I don't drink that much usually anymore either...my sorority days are long gone....I've got too much nervous energy lately and nothing to do with it.

 

[starsgoblue]

lush

Chip, I will fly to STL for the privilege of roundhousing you upside the head.

 

[lauren430]

Yeah, people in law school don't go out much and it's so expensive and I'm trying to save money

 

[u2bonogirl]

tara,

i've bought what would be considered by most as cheap crap bass guitars. the one that i did spend a lot of money on was ironically the crappest bass i believe i may have ever played. but what i have spent a fortune on (maybe $8000) is my backline...my Ampeg amps, bins and effects. i came to that way of thinking after an interview Adam gave when he said it doesn't really matter how much money you spend on a bass it's all what happens behind you that's important. unfortunately, because i had to pay my own way through university (college) I had to sell all of my backline.

regarding effects - i'd use wahwah peddles and expression peddles with my bass....my old band once did an instrumental version of Bullet the Blue Sky and the wahwah peddle on the bass was amazing. i've got a recording somewhere that i should let you have a listen to.

I would love to hear you play
My guitar isnt anything expensive. I think I spent as much on my iPod as I did on the guitar
ironically my bass is really nice But I think Im going to sell it before I move to help pay for an immediate car to drive until I get something nicer.

 

[Chizip]

[lauren430]

[ewen]

i think i may have read that wrong....much needed because you needed refreshing or because you were ranc! sorry, just the way i read it, it was pretty funny.

Yeah, I used to surf when I used to live by the ocean........But sometimes I use sea water in my hair to get it all wavey, but I slept on it and it looks really funky now...
