The volume war...

Just got back from the practice space and watching Jupiter and Mars. They sounded awesome until the last song. It was too loud and sounded like crap. WHen the song ended the sound arguement occured, it sux to watch five guys who are oh so talented fight about the volume. After some heated words were exchanged mainly between graham and chuck, johnny pot pie stepped in and mediated as a unbiased outsider. Both Graham, John and Chuck has some good suggestions and hopefully they will try them out and work this volume war out, they are too good to let this break em. I piped up with the comment that when they played Daves on Broadway (where gphi had crescent) they played too loudly for the room and I think they do that a lot, you dont want to blast your audience out of the room. When they played at Casey and Seans party two Betas that came with Megs and Katie came up to me and said this is the best band we've ever seen live, where can I get there CDs? They played perfect for that tiny ass room and sounded amazing. They knew they couldnt be loud since Casey was parinoid the party was going to get busted. Louder is not necissarily better.

After the band stopped arguing and made up. I was text messaging Megs, Katie and Dan about possible parties. Johnny Pot Pie really knows how to push my buttons and he just started digging into me about my cell phone and this and that. So I actually started flipping him shit back, Graham stuck up for me and was telling Johnny to stop getting me riled up. He stopped for a bit, I get suckered into a debate with him too often, he loves to get me all riled up. The guys decided they wanted to go to the West End, I decided I was going to take my lame ass home, because I have to work tomorrow, and Chucks parents house is right around the corner from my parents house, if i stilled lived in ttown I would def go out. Johnny again decides to get me riled up. You know you've known someone for a long time when they can say just one thing and it causes you to get on the defesive in a snap. He was calling it like it was I was being lame and going home and he was pointing it out. Graham and Chuck understood I had to work, and I didnt want to be lamo. Then we got into about how long it takes to drive to Puyallup Southill Mall I say it takes about 35-40 without traffic from here. Johnny says it shouldnt take me that long. Luckily Graham used to live out there and again had my back on this one. I gave the boys hugs and wished them a good time at the West End. I'm bummed because Casey called from there and all our friends are there. Oh well I don't like that bar anyways, if they were goign to E9 the Ram or Magoos I would have been really bummed. Tomorrow I wont be lame. Besides sometimes it's nice to have a relaxing evening, watching a good band and hanging out in the Harbor can be pretty cool sometimes. Johnny you know how to get me good man, props to you! All you guys rock and are my bros...
