Day 1
Uncle Pleasants, Lousville, 27 April 2005
I should point out that we haven't really had any time to rehearse this new band, so I'd like to apologise to The Patio for any strangeness you might have heard last night. And to Uncle Pleasants for any strangeness you might hear tonight.
Spent the afternoon getting acquainted with everyone. Cary and Jason were telling us stories from their childhoods which seemed to revolve mainly around making bombs. Apparently, if you douse aerosols in gasoline, they eventually explode of their own accord, but if you get tired of waiting you can shoot them with your BB gun, and that get things going right away.
I've heard a lot about BB guns. They sound interesting.
Cary told us an entertaining story which had the punchline "Whoever heard of plastic shrapnel?". Kind of made me wish I'd spent more time blowing things up when I was young. I did melt parts of my Star Wars toys with a candle once, but this was merely to add verisimilitude to the laser battles. My mum didn't understand.
