Gig log April 2009 Small 18th Birthday party

0:00 Uh, I'm like, I'm running on the red in the dodgy van

Alright folks, another gig log and today I'm going to use the MEP and I've got the pacemaker with a whole bunch of tracks on it. It's an 18th birthday party in a place called Trigaron and to be honest I'm not getting there yet or back because I wanted to get some diesel right which of course in the US is known as gas. And, uh, anyway, petrol or whatever. And, uh, bloody petrol station was closed where I normally go. So, uh, I'm like, I'm running on the red in the dodgy van. And talking about the dodgy van actually, um, I'll explain. The driver's door doesn't open from the outside. The heater fan doesn't turn on. It's on continually on hot. Uh, and I've now got a rather strange noise coming from, uh, the front driver's wheel.

I think what I will do though is when this finally, you know the MOT runs out and all that sort of stuff, I think what I might end up doing actually is just driving it into a field and leaving it there and using it for parts because I'll probably end up having to buy another dodgy van due to the fact I can't afford to buy a new one. I think personally spending a vast amount of money on a new van is a waste of time anyway, you might as well just buy a decent second hand one. But I can't buy a decent second hand one, I have to buy a dodgy van. So what I'm going to do is keep this one and use it as parts. Logical I suppose. Well anyway today it's a small venue so I've only got a couple of powered speakers. Again I've always said you know you've got to take a big system so you can always turn a big system down, you can't turn a big system down.

2:09 By the way, Gordon's helping me tonight

Oh no, sorry, I'll start again. You can't turn a small system up but you can always turn a big system down, think about it. But not meaning to contradict myself, today it is a very small venue so in my eyes it's pointless taking huge speakers because it's just a waste of space really, aren't they? Anyway, right, also they want me to start about 5 o'clock because I think it's going to finish at 11 so it's not a late finish. So, we shall see what happens and see you there. By the way, Gordon's helping me tonight. Alright, Gordon, from Bond. Hey girls, father, okay? It's a beautiful song by Dildo entitled Thank You. Dido, Dido, sorry.
