Alia Posted December 12, 2003 Share Posted December 12, 2003 All right, so you guys remember how I was trying to learn how to play the guitar, right? Well, I'm still trying! Anyway, today is my first gig with my family. We're playing a set at a Christmas tree festival, and I'm singing and playing the aforementioned instrument. I'm pretty nervous. What if I suddenly get laryngitis...or break an arm....or something horrible like that....? I've got to go....wish me luck, or curse me, or something.

Shivermetimbers Posted December 12, 2003 Share Posted December 12, 2003 Christmas tree festival? how come you didn't tell me about that? Good luck Alia! If you break a string, just start pointing up at the sky going OH MY GOD! What is THAT???? and then sprint off the stage and escape. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Skinkie Posted December 12, 2003 Share Posted December 12, 2003 A cool stage move is beating your guitar to pieces on the stage. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Alia Posted December 12, 2003 Author Share Posted December 12, 2003 Ooh. Did you psychically tell me to do that earlier? Because when I was messing with the stupid strap, it came off and the guitar fell and made a large, funny noise. My parents didn't think it was very funny, though. And my mom had a problem with the way I dressed, too. She threatened to ground me for life...and I....I..can't say it. - I laughed in her face. Diplomatically speaking, a bad move.

Ernil Posted December 12, 2003 Share Posted December 12, 2003 Randomly in the gig, kick your brother in the face and bite your mother. The logical thing to do. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Branik Posted December 12, 2003 Share Posted December 12, 2003 As a beginner you'll most likely screw some chord up or make some other mistake. When this happens, pay no attention to it, only continue playing. The guitar is a nice instrument, 'cause you can fake it all you want. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ernil Posted December 13, 2003 Share Posted December 13, 2003 Except for your band, who will stop all music, grab your arms, legs, and hair, and throw you outside naked in the snow when you mess up. Think positive. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Yufster Posted December 14, 2003 Share Posted December 14, 2003 Why didn't I see this here? I'm going to go to the past and say good luck to Alia, before she even left. But I am also going to warn her what will happen. Dude, I hope it's not too late. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Huz Posted December 14, 2003 Share Posted December 14, 2003 I thought this was going to be about shutters falling off windows and crushing people to death. That would have been amusing. Good luck anyway, you false-subject-writer person. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Alia Posted December 14, 2003 Author Share Posted December 14, 2003 I was quoting a song. I didn't expect you, you ESPECIALLY Huz, to get it. That reminds me. I have no idea why I didn't mention it before, but this funny kid suddenly materialized beside me before I went onstage. She said, "You're going to drop your guitar and insult your mother! Good luck!" Huh. Tonight at 1, on Channel 13 News: Shutter falls off window and crushes Peg! Foul play suspected. You don't wanna miss this!
