There is a formula for people showing up at gigs. "I will absolutely, no doubt be there." - 80/20 chance "I will be there." - 60/40 chance "I will try to be there." - 30/70 chance "I might make it." - 10/90 chance "I can't make it." - 10/90 chance "I'm coming and bringing friends." - 60/40 chance the person shows, 20/80 chance friends come with him/her It's pure science. Given that standard, I will try to be there on Thursday, but I can't make it Friday. My chances are better than 30/70, however.
Jeff, you are 100,000% correct, as always. I am very familiar with the formulas. Hope to see you there....
Also: "Sorry I missed you, when are you playing next?" actually translates into: "I have no intention whatsoever of EVER coming to one of your gigs."
There's also the "What time do you go on?" translated to, "If it is after 10pm, that's too late." "I could really hear the ____ well." = "The ____ was too loud." "We can only stay for a little while." = "We'll stay as long as you are good." "You guys are very good." = "You guys aren't very fun." "You guys are really fun." = "You guys aren't very good." "Good job." = "I don't have the heart to tell you that you suck." "What part of town is the club in?" = "I live in the suburbs and the city frightens me." There are SO many more.
LOL! That's true. The percentage of actually showing up probably goes down inverse to the square root of the age of the person saying the above.
RT- So sorry that I couldn't make it. I just got back from a business dinner and am exhausted (talking to a bunch of boring folks for two and a half hours will do that to you) Let me know if you play at the Big Easy again. I enjoy going there on occasion and would love to hear some good blues from a fellow clutchfan

Lynus, Jeff, OmegaSupreme...thanks for coming out last night. It was great to see you guys. We appreciate your support. Lynus....be careful out there!! We do seem to bring out the hard drinking in people who come to see us. Thankfully, I took the day off today, and I'm on my way to my girlfriend's office in a couple of hours with a bottle of aspirin and to take her out to lunch, She's hurtin'...
Damn dude. I totally forgot about this. I wanted to go last night as opposed to tonight cause I really dig the Big Easy. What's the skinny on tonight? Cool place? Cover?
