Pre veteran thread (2011)

Howdy Hambone...not much of anything can be done in the rain we're getting...Sorry about your padlock event, Good to see you dropped by

 

[tiburonfirst]

all we did was wait around here for you to show up

 

[Hambone68]

Hmmm well, this will be #46 for me, so I'm guessing that it's probably going to wind up being within the week... very possibly today or tomorrow

edit: As for the padlock incident, fortunately it was on of those things that was so funny right off the bat that it cancelled out the pain

 

[tiburonfirst]

we could get you there in a hurry - we got our avis all set, your thread is ready - give us a time you'll be around for an hour or so and we get you turned in style.
i got to run into town but will be back later!

 

[Hambone68]

Duh I should have made that a separate post instead of editing just to bump my post count up... wait, that's what I'm doing now... awwww yeah

 

[whiskey]

Later Tibs~

Later Tibs,

Howdy hambone. sounds like a good weekend, except for the pain and stuff...

 

[Hambone68]

See ya in a while Tibs...

Howdy Whiskey and CES Yeah it was a great weekend, I love playing to big crowds - it's such an adrenaline rush (not to mention the pay is pretty good hehe)

Saturday was just one of those Murphy's Law kind of days where everything that can go wrong does... but it's all good, gotta have them once in a while to keep you on your toes, ya know? Plus there's that masochistic streak of loving to solve problems as they come up

 

[whiskey]

Yup....its that man thing LOL.......

 

[CES]

solving problems is pretty cool in hindsight, but at the time it's more of a PIA.

 

[whiskey]

What type of music do you play Hambone??

 

[Hambone68]

I'm the guitar player in a band called Two For Flinching. We play 80's pop and rock with our own spin on it... stuff like Joan Jett, Pat Benatar, The Outfield, Journey, Tommy Tutone, The Go-Go's, The Bangles, Michael Jackson, etc. etc. etc.

Here is my YouTube channel with videos of some of our stuff from last summer if ya want to check it out I'm the goofball with the mohawk on the left by the way...

Woo hoo, post #50... looks like I'll be getting there today hehehe

 

[CES]

today might be the day hambone? YAY!

(wanders off to look at utube)

 

[whiskey]

Very Cool Hambone....Your welcome thread is awesome I must say

 

[CES]

Everyone looks like they're having a great time in your vids, and your lead has a great voice (Love the song black velvet).

 

[Hambone68]

Whiskey, I can't wait to see it... should be soon

CES, yeah she's great, and yeah we always have a good time - gotta love having a job doing what you love

 

[CES]

Yep, I'm with you. I love both my jobs- though they're not quite as much fun as yours. Can't beat getting paid for doing something you want to do

 

[whiskey]

How often do you play out Hambone?

 

[Hambone68]

Pretty much twice a weekend every weekend... we average 100-105 paid shows a year, and also do the occasional benefit... also once a year or so we play (minus the female lead) as Desecrator, which is original power metal. Actually we started TFF as a way to fund Desecrator, but it grew into such a monster that it's pretty much all we do now.

 

[CES]

You guys are doing great- it's difficult to get gig work that steady
