Camberly theatre.

Well after what I said about the truck getting there for 12:00, yeah wasn't gonna happen as it was still fucked. Haze was on the phone all morning to Sean and various people regarding this and was very agitated to say the least. 

The truck was moving but slowly and having to stop every so often to bleed the breaks or something, the cause of the issue. It was expected to arrive at 3:00 so we were all instructed to go for lunch and come back for 3:00 and move like we had a purpose. 

Meanwhile I discussed with Haze and the inhouse crew what we'd do pa while to make it build up as quick as possible. Fortunately they has pretty decent pa installed so it was gonna be easy enough. 

I has lunch, came back and had a nap! 

Then the truck arrived. For the next two and half hours it was fucking chaos. It wasn't just because if the panic to get the show up with fact the stage was small with everyone clambering over each other like a load of clumsy cunts at a massive orgy, but because the show was sold out and demand was high for tickets. We could have probably done two nights here in fact. 

But we did it, at the meeting I was still plugging up drums, the last thing on my todo list. 

Professor and I shared the band stand which for depth purposes, we were using half of  Not since Kev and were in the band in 2004/05 has that happend. The two drummers between then wouldn't budge and so when the half band stand was used, the drums would stay centre and the keys, bass and guitars would be set up off it. Not today! 

Here's evidence. 

The show went okay, no fuck ups as such but paying a smaller kit proved a challenge on the band solos. Which because I didn't practice in the afternoon, I fucked up royally. Nice one Steve!

Pull down done and off to lodge we went. I dropped off Professor, Haze, Steph, Doug, Danny and got back to the lodge and got pissed with the others before bed.
