Once again, it's time for the FNGT!

If you don't know how this works, click this link (fngt.gq). That link will take you to another site to give you some additional information and tell you about some of our off-site features. That's also the site where we will host the weekly guitar threads, should Poal go down.

NOTE: That site is by invitation only. If you want an invite, and you're a regular participant, then just ask COF, Crazy, or myself.

If you do know what's going on, you probably don't need to click that link - but you may want to, to make sure you know of the other features, such as the archive or a separate forum that's invite only.

Remember, we are guests here on Poal. Let's act like it. If you're interested in supporting Poal, then you can donate.

Yeah if I were to have to play for an audience I ight have a beer or two

I usually do shots of rum, and a rum and coke on the amp. The rum helps limber up my vocal chords. The rum and coke helps cool things down. I also have a half-dozen bottles of water at my feet - though I tend to grab one, open it, and set it on a stack. It's not my job to put the drinks there, I just expect them to be there.

Literally, all I do now is show up and play - and sometimes rehearse with the band. That't it. I don't even bring my own guitars to the stage. I do a quick sound check, but that's just to refine what was already done for me.

It's a pretty sweet job.

I enjoy a rum and coke occasionally but it tastes too damned good and goes down too fast

Beer doesn't do a damned good thing to my voice and I'm not really a beer drinker these days. Plus the rum and coke will stay cold for the duration of the set.

If I finish it, I expect the venue to refill it without me having to do anything.

I am kinda pampered. In my defense, I'm pretty fucking sure I've earned the right to be pampered and treated like a star. I am a goddamned VIP.

Speaking of which, I need to head to the venue sometime soon. We go on at 21:00 and it's 18:30 right now.
