Not that anyone gives a shit, but...
I go to this bar/restaurant some Tuesday nights for "Blues Night/Open Mic Night." They have a house band that's pretty nasty and they let people sign up and use their instruments. They'll play for you if u want them to, or you can bring a whole band w/ u. I finally mustered up the balls to get up and play after many nights of contemplating it. I told my buddy who is in a band I was going to play Voodoo Child and Hey Joe and he said "The guitarist from my band is here and he'd love to play those with u". So instead of me and the house band it was me, the house band's bassist and my friend's guitarist. We signed up at 10:30 and didn't get on til about 1:15 (so I was pretty drunk by then) but we fucking rocked. We did a nice little instrumental segue from Voodoo Chile into Hey Joe.
The guitarist told me he was feelin' the chemistry and that they're looking for a new drummer since theirs is leaving school after this semester and asked me to join the band. They've got some pretty sick originals done up that I can't wait to jump into.
Anyway, I got pretty excited about it and had to rave on it. Who better than the M&G forum on the PJ pit. Hopefully I can have some sound clips or something up on here for y'all in time to come.

I am playing an open mic tonight for the first time since February. We're debuting some new covers, so I'm psyched.
Typo Man: "Thanks kidz, but remembir, stay in skool!"
That's awesome that they asked you to join the band. Good stuff!
There are not many of these yhings near me, but there is an open jam run by one of the music stores on soon, and I'm going with the intention of getting up if there is something I know.
I'm going to brush up on some AC/DC and Nirvana, figuring they are likely to be on. If I could build the stamina, I'd love to do Teen Spirit on drums. The drum part is way more interesting than the guitar part, but I don't think I'm that good yet.
probably go again next week or sometime soon
