Guest Iain C Posted April 9, 2006 Report Share Posted April 9, 2006 If it all goes wrong, just try and make it as loud and unpleasant as possible and laugh at the people who "can't handle it, maaaaaaaaaaaaaaan".

Guest thisket Posted April 9, 2006 Report Share Posted April 9, 2006 Quote school?:laughing: HIGH SCHOOL! :laughing: But I AM in the 12th grade. God forbid doing it as a charity as an older person. Quote record the show and post it here Acoustically or the songs themselves? I think I might set up an old cassette recorder. And I'll try to stay calm. I'm going to perform boogersnot ambient/doodle songs the day before unannounced. This is all going to be done in the school's art room. It doubles as a social area for me and my friends, sometimes other people.

Guest thisket Posted April 13, 2006 Report Share Posted April 13, 2006 OK. It happened today. It was quite fun, but only about 30-40 people showed up and were like, "OMG what's this, are they serving cheeseburgers to-day?" and left after a song. Didn't get to do half the songs I wanted, because I leave before lunch these days and lunch has been unknowingly shortened from 45 to 30 minutes and I dicked about too much. A half of a Xanax helped. I recorded it with an old tape recorder but I fear much banal student mumbling is on it. Might post it soooon.
