Face, you sound healthier than most here so far. Health is important. So are memories. Is your band for fun or do you have aspirations/dreams of, or are already, making a living playing music?
As for noteworthy I don't think it has anything to do with living up to ones potential. I think that would have more to do with self esteem. To me noteworthy would be things other people notice and talk/write about.
the band, for now, is for fun. if anything happens, great. if not, so be it. its a good excersize to tune up my songwriting/performance abilities.
as for the people taking note - i think this depends as well. there have been thousands of bands that have sold out small clubs yet 5 years later no one remembers a damn thing about them - at the time people took notice, but it was fleeting. the only people it matters if you touch are the people you care about, since they're the only ones who will be around for your whole life. i never claim to have the most exceptional life here, nor would i want it. i just want to be happy and live a good life - and if the people around me, who i love/car about, notice that, cool. if you don't live for yourself and your friends/family, you live for no one.

Floop argue? All I've done is try to answer some questions and figure out who some of you are and what you do. The person who initially directed me to the site said Musicians post here. I sort of liked Frank and the Pixies. It turned out to be not at all what I imagined. According to Malax, the forum psychic who knows what I'm thinking, (biggest idiot so far) you aren't even interested in me or stories. Are you just asking the questions to start an argument?
Anyway, as for the attendance it's kind of a funny story. I instructed our security (Wille and Skip from the famous biker gang) to take over the door. The bouncers were terrified of them and let them do whatever they wanted. We would cram the clubs full, (whisky Roxy and Starwood) people on top of people. Sometimes the fire marshall did show up. The only place to get a ticket was the Starwood. The cops actually put tear gas in the air vent on the roof to clear the building. This, and a couple of our riots, were pretty well documented in the LA times.
Or, you can ask Mario, the dude who owns the Whisky and the Roxy. I went in there a couple of years ago to say hi. He bought me dinner etc and reminded me of some funny stories. He claims bands pay him to play there now. Pretty strange huh? He didn't use to give us much. The most he ever paid us was 5 grand, which he claimed was twice what he paid ANYONE else. They were fun clubs to play back then though and it wasn't about the money. Our performance in URGH was shot at the Whisky. (Was anyone else here in Urgh?)
The skateboard thing was in 1976 in Ocean City Maryland. I have a pretty cool framed picture of me on the front page of the paper getting my award. I didn't win the freestyle/trick thingy. (I placed 3rd). I won the downhill. Pretty good performance considering I borrowed a chicks skate and hadn't skated in a couple of months (was recovering from a broken arm)
If you're a skater you might have heard of Jay Adams. He grew up at the bottom of the hill I lived on. I would imagine I'm the first human he ever saw on a skateboard.
Oh well, I'm getting bored talking about myself and so far none of you seem to have anything to talk about. Have a nice weekend.
Not only am I psychic I can write rhetorically, (without the question marks)your a waste of time. Your responses are useless,you repeat the same shit all the time. Im finished with this topic.

Agreed BrokenFace. I think the reason my family and friendships have been intact so long is because I put them first.
BLT, where did you get that picture of those troubled youths? I recognize both of them from our concerts. (they probably snuck in!) Exceptional skaters. I've often wondered why people raised in other parts of the country and world just can't seem to skate like the home boys.
Malax this thread can't live without you. Your noteworthy accomplishments have been a pleasure reading. I really feel like I know you now.

Sometimes it's good for people to be apprised of your accomplishments; that way, they can recommend you.
