Got roped into playing a new years eve gig with a bunch of amateurs who can’t play their way out of a paper bag... Plus side- it’ll get me out of the house, & it’s a caver party, so I’ll get to see a lot a friends I haven’t seen in too long. Yeesh I’m trying to be a good sport about these rookies, but we’re gonna suck. I’m spoiled.
Gotta remember these guys are Pro cavers one of whom set the Western Hemisphere depth record 2 years ago & I’m a diletante when it comes to caving.
@anthracite Hah, no, I’ll be the glue because I’m a pro.
Also, I’m 20 years sober this January. I almost didn’t survive the 80’s.
I’m just glad to be out amongst friends even if it involves trying to not wince every now & then. I’m not getting called by anybody else these days.
@Devils_Rancher that’s a pretty good option too ❤️👍🏾

When we were still kids, you were quite the accomplished musician. Just let go and try to have fun with them. Some of my best times playing music were very amateur at best. The company and few times it clicked were priceless.
Too claustrophobic to be any kind of spelunker.
@Devils_Rancher I suggest getting drunk enough* that you'll have an excuse to play closer to their level.
Seriously. I learnt so much during the year I spent drawing goofy porn under a pen-name who was (at least supposedly) always drunk when she was working.
* or stoned or whatever fits the intersection of "legal enough you're comfortable doing it" and "tends to make you a little sloppy"
