Free For All Posted December 31, 2003 Report Posted December 31, 2003 I've got one after a few years off- SIX (count 'em) SIX hours at a casino. Good bread, low satisfaction- definitely falls in the TUX/BUX/SUX category. How about the rest of you whores...er, I mean ar-TEESTS? Please report back when possible. And Happy New Year, Organissimites! Quote
Jim Alfredson Posted December 31, 2003 Report Posted December 31, 2003 Much better bread this year for me. I play New Years every year with my R&B band but we've always done this riverboat deal in Lansing and we barely get twice what we normally get when we play there. This year we're at a casino and getting about 4 times what we normally make. Nice!! The only shitty part is that we're playing tonight, Friday, and Saturday at the same casino. But they have another band playing Thursday. So we have to pack all our shit up tonight and then set it all back up again on Friday. Boo! Quote
JSngry Posted December 31, 2003 Report Posted December 31, 2003 (edited) I'm driving to Corpus Christi to play a debutante ball at a country club. Big Bux/Tux/Big Sux. I'll feel good about it once the money's in the bank. My name is Jim Sangrey and I am a SHAMELESS whore. But only if the price is right... Edited December 31, 2003 by JSngry Quote
Jim Alfredson Posted December 31, 2003 Report Posted December 31, 2003 By the way, the "stage" at this casino is in between the men's and women's bathrooms and is not isolated from the main casino floor at all. So all night we'll be jamming to the C major triad!! Makes for some real interesting harmonies. Quote

You'll forgive me, FFA, if I don't make it to this particular gig of yours. But I did see you on the ol' teletube down at the Plaza for the big Plaza lighting on Thanksgiving Night. Actually, probably your one feature solo all night, and the TV cameras covered it nicely - without any of the usual TV jabberjaws babbling endlessly for probably a good 20 seconds. ("Let's all listen in, shall we??") Got to tell my wife's whole family - "hey, I know that guy!!!" But I think they were less impressed (or probably just board) when I proceeded to name half the band on the stage with you too. As far as New Years goes... The wife and I tend to avoid casinos like the plague, all 364 other days of the year, so it'll be our usual "movie and dinner" for New Years. Quote
Johnny E Posted December 31, 2003 Report Posted December 31, 2003 Got a pickup gig at a Italian Resturant in Bothel Washington. What the hell, the pay is good. Quote
