IT JUST GOES ON AND ON...NED THE WINO PART 3...
Logging (rehearsal 3/7/05) by Bonney Death
BACKLOG: Craig was okay at private bass/guitar rehearsal at our house on Sunday. Mentioned nothing about quitting the band and in fact, Vic called me later that night to tell me that Craig had called him over the weekend and said, "Forget what I said at practice on Thursday. I was drunk. And now, I want to be back in the band."
It should be noted that Craig was witnessed drinking 24oz. of beer at our house on Sunday, further confirming the "24 oz. Beer Theory," (Craig is pleasant and can play bass when he consumes 24 oz. of beer, no more and no less)
Monday March 7, 2005
Whittier, CA
8:45pm
Practice space: we are waiting outside for Vic and Craig, even though practice was supposed to start at 8:30. Deb is playing "Road to Recovery" on her acoustic guitar while sitting on the steps to the entrance. We still do not have keys and cannot get in.
8:56pm
Deb is now playing "You'll Always Have Me." Craig called 10 minutes ago. He was at the liquor store and wanted to know if she wanted anything, "like Boone's Farm, for example."
9:15pm
Craig gave Deb some pills because she had called him earlier regarding getting pain killers to help her control the pain in her crushed hip (long story). These pills are not Vicoden, like he said they would be.
9:17pm
Deb calls Craig out in the hall to ask him exactly what these pills are. He says they are either Vicoden or an antibiotic that someone prescribed his father two years ago. It turns out the latter is true and that it is an antibiotic Deb is extremely allergic to. She could die if she takes it. She declines his offer and does not understand why he gave these pills to her. What the fuck?
9:19pm
We told the guys what was up with "Mechanic Boy," (aka Clint). Vic thinks "it is not the right guy." Craig wants to "be the best man at your wedding."
9:25pm
BACKLOG
Apparently, Craig told Vic to "forget everything I told you after last practice about quitting the band. We're going to make this work. We're going to rock." Can anyone say "psychotic?"
9:30pm
Vic left the room, and some 18-year-old named Marcus and three of his young friends just wandered in.
9:31pm
Craig just broke a string. He does not have another. FUCK!
9:32pm
Somehow, he just found one. Did he pull it out of his ass? WHAT THE FUCK????
9:34pm
One of Marcus's friends has a tamborine. Marcus is skatting guitar over Deb's vocals. WHAT THE FUCK:???
9:35pm
Craig broke another string.
9:42pm
Craig has not quite tuned up to play. I am wondering why Marcus + 3 of his friends are here. Why is he playing guitar and his friend is playing tamborine?? Vic just left the room. Something about "someone doing surveillence at my house...."
9:43pm
Deb leaves the room. Craig is now playing drums for Marcus. WHAT THE FUCK??? Does anyone know that we have a show in 72 hours??? Does anyone know what that means??? Apparently, not....
9:45pm
Craig tells me, "Go get your girlfriend, or something. I want to play something"
9:50pm
Deb is thinking of leaving because Vic is MIA and practice was supposed to start almost an hour and a half ago. And now there is a roomful of 18-year-olds jamming out.
10:15pm
The band plays "Over and Over." (after Deb has to stop the 18-year-old jam session)
Craig is being Craig again. I think Deb may be "sucking the fun" out of rehearsal again. Craig tells her that she makes him feel the way a "balloon feels, you know, after all the air is let out of it, you know..."
Vic starts talking about how he is "spread too thin and never gets to see my family..." BLAH, BLAH, BLAH...Maybe, you should axe into your dating scedule if you never get to see your wife and kids...
10:10pm
Craig told Deb to tune her guitar. She did. It was totally in tune. She said, "Just for your information, the guitar is in tune. It's you who is not."
10:14pm
What the fuck is Marcus playing?? And more importantly, why is he playing?? He will not be playing at the show which is 72 hours away. Why is he even here??? We need to focus on the show....
10:17pm
Craig is wearing a wife-beater.
10:18pm
Deb has to stop because of extraneous drum and guitar playing by people who are not even in the band. Deb tells Marcus and his friends not to play on this song since they will not be playing at the show (which is only 72 hours away).
10:19pm
Marcus and his friends leave.
10:20pm
Craig just threw down his bass (at the drum kit) and left the room. It nearly busted Vic's drums.
10:21pm
Vic and Deb look confused. No one knows why Craig just chucked his bass at the drum kit.
10:22pm
Craig is back. He yells at Deb about "driving off our one fan, Marcus, who love Blink 182. This is the best rehearsal ever." (I do not even understand what he is talking about. It should be noted he has now consumed more that 24 oz. of beer at rehearsal).
10:23pm
Craig is still pissed that Deb asked Marcus not to "jam out" on their songs at this rehearal.
10:24pm
Have another beer, Craig.
10:29pm
Craig says, "You guys are driving me to drink." We reply, "You're already there. You don't need any help with that." He's laughing and joking around now. WTF???
11:05pm
Deb asks, "Should we do the songs in the order fo the show??" Vic nods, "yes." Craig says, "Next time, baby, just give me my fix." What is that supposed to mean???
11:10pm
Craig makes a motion like he's injecting himself with heroin.
11:14pm
Craig is about to fall over.
11:17pm
Deb asks again about the order of the songs. Vic doesn't understand why they aren't playing the songs in the show's order. I read back Craig's quote, "Next time, baby, just give me my fix." Craig says, "Okay, court stenographer."
11:25pm
Craig asked if I was looking at his ass. NO. Deb said, "Please pull up your pants." Craig asked again, "Are you looking at my ass?" Deb replied, "It's bare. Pull up your pants."
11:27pm
Deb asks Craig if he wants to try the song again. He says, "Yes, so we won't suck."
11:30pm
Craig stops in the middle of "Never Know." He is "trying to feel Vic." Vic explains he just wants to get the timing right for the show. Vic looks pissed. Craig is talking about "dynamics" again. "Look," he says, "I just really don't want to suck." Craig thinks the song "needs something," but he is not able to speak in comprehensible English to expain what that "thing" is.
11:32pm
Vic says, "We just need to play this song. This isn't Rush. This isn't 21/2."
11:35pm
Craig just told us, "I'm bringing an old lady to the show." Deb asks, "How old are we talking?" I ask, "Do you mean an old woman or your girlfriend?"
11:36pm
Craig explains that he is dating a woman much older than him. He does not want us to make fun of her at the show.
11:37pm
The converstation continues. Craig says that his girlfriend has a 30-year-old daughter. We think this is a little weird since that would make his girlfriend's daughter older than him. He tells Vic he will ask his girlfriend to bring the daugher to the show for Vic. Beth says, "If you all got married, that would make Craig Vic's step-father."
11:39pm
Craig says, "I'm sorry my penis is 2 inches long and my tongue got bit off." We're not sure what this is in reference to.
11:45pm
Craig says, "Was your daddy a butcher? Because he shoved two nice hams down the back of your pants." We also do not understand what this means. Vic asks him for the punch line. There is none.
12:01pm
Rehearsal is finally over. We have to go home. We do not understand what just happened. We will update later.
Will this band make it through its first show??? That remains to be seen...
