Things that happen at my band's practice space
1. Fights
A few days ago I returned from practice and before I left, witnessed 2 vagrants arguing about something (perhaps money?). Bizarre things such as "YOU FUCKED UP YOUR ENTIRE LIFE!!!" and "YOU DON'T KNOW ME, GET THE FUCK AWAY FROM ME!!" were yelled as I was trying to use the payphone by them. Needless to say, an honest to goodness fight broke out and was some of the funniest shit I've ever seen. It was pretty run of the mill but highlights included a sweet, well placed flying cross kick to the one dude's chest and a simultaneous punch out where both vagrants fell flat on their ass at the same time as if it were choreographed. It seriously felt like I was in a 3 Stooges skit. I was watching all of this from the relative safety of my car as I had just gotten into it when this ordeal broke out and with Phil Collins playing on the radio as I drove away, it was nice knowing that at least my life wasn't AS fucked up as these 2 gentlemen.
2. Drunk girls breaking things
Got back from a show a while ago and after loading in the gear we noticed a punch of boxes and whatnot on the sidewalk. We go through everything and there are a bunch of empty spiral notebooks, corporate training videos, and a broken fax machine. While we're going through this a drunk girl stumbles out of nowhere and asks what's up. We tell her we're looking through garbage and I tell her that she is more than welcome to whatever she finds. She gets a weird look on her face and then picks up the fax machine and smashes it against a nearby garage door and then runs off. I should've gotten her name or number because she was super cute.
3. Construction
The road our space is on is under construction and during practice earlier this week, our drummer's car was blocked in by cement trucks. They were working on the road but the thing was they didn't close it till after his car was parked there. Luckily, we got out in time to move it or else it would've been towed or had shit thrown on it. Bulldozers were ready to fuck this car up.
And who says that nothing cool ever happens here in York, PA.
