NED THE WINO HAS LEFT THE BUILDING...MAYBE...
LOGGING: BAND REHEARSAL 3/3/05 (by Bonney Death)
Whittier, CA
9:25pm
Deb has one missed call. Craig.
9:31pm
Where is Craig? It is now 9:30-when practice is supposed to begin. We need to leave by 11:00. We have to leave to go meet 'Lanning,' regarding band photos. It's kind of true.
9:36pm
Craig calls. Is he here? Is he drunk? Let's hope so on both counts. I'm not sure what part of "we need to leave on time" is difficult to understand.
9:50pm
Practice still has not started. Vic is auditioning a bass player for another band he is in. We were told to be here at 9:30 so we could rehearse as the bass audition would be over by then. It is not. Vic asked Deb if Freddie was coming down tonight to play guitar. Ummmm...why would he? He's not playing on the show and that is one week away. We shouldn't really be wasting time on anything not directly related to the show. Good question for tonight.
9:53pm
One more song for bass audition with Danny and Vic.
10:05pm
Practice starts.
11:00pm
After they fuck around playing "Haunted" for 15 minutes, the consensus yet again by Vic and Deb is not to play it at the show because it will require synth and a second guitar, both of which we do not have at the moment. Craig claims Deb is trying to "suck the fun out of playing." Deb tries to explain that she's not "sucking the fun" out of anything...it is just that if it's not being played at the show, it should not be practiced tonight since the show is only three rehearsals away. Craig is confident that "the show won't suck," completely missing the point that four more songs need to be learned in three rehearsals. Deb tells Craig she does not think it will suck either, but they shouldn't be wasting their time fucking around with songs that will not be played at this show.
11:01pm
Danny's bass player agrees. If you have a show in a week, practice what you're going to be playing at the show, not songs you want to learn in the future!!
11:02pm
Again, Craig is very confident that "the show will not suck."
11:06pm
Why does no one understand the concept of leaving at a certain time, namely 11pm??
11:07pm
11pm becomes 11:30.
11:11pm
There was almost a fight between Deb and Craig. It was a close call. Deb tells Craig that they are not going to be playing "Haunted" at the show. He tells her he doesn't understand why she is always trying to "suck the fun out of everything." He asks her if she wants "to be a rock star or just play some music?" We don't really understand what this is supposed to mean. It should be noted that Craig didn't even like the song "Haunted" in the first place and got in a big fight with Deb last practice because he thought it was "boring."
NOTE: I think that Deb may already be a vampire since she is becoming quite good at "sucking fun" out of things.
11:15pm
Craig hits a LOUD bad note in the most quiet part of "In The End." Deb begins laughing hysterically and cannot continue singing. She states later that she could not understand why he hit the note so loudly in such a quiet part. It sounded terrible.
11:31pm
Rehearsal is finally over. Craig calls Vic out in the hall to talk to him privately. He tells him that he is leaving the band because Deb is "sucking the fun out of everything." He tells him he will play the show next Friday and then he is out of there. He gives Vic his blessing to continue playing with Deb. As if that were necessary. He tells Vic not to say anything about this to Deb.
11:35pm
Vic comes back in the room and tells Deb everything. He tells us that we shouldn't worry about this because Craig has never stayed in a band longer than a few months because everyone is always trying to "suck the fun" out of what he does. It is agreed on by Deb, Vic, and I that Craig is not a really big loss. We will just need to find a new bass player. One who is not an alcoholic.
3/4/05 (next day)
5:16pm
Craig calls Deb. She thinks he is calling to tell her he is quitting the band. He tells her he has good news. He has found a buddy to record their demo. He will come down to rehearsal and do it once the show is over. Deb is confused. She thought he was quitting. Now, it sounds like he is staying. She pretends to not know that he told Vic he was quitting the band. Craig asks Deb if they can go get some drinks and dinner after rehearsal on Sunday so they can work out their "personal issues." Deb is even more confused.
5:43pm
Vic calls Deb. He just received a message from Craig to call him immediately. But now Craig is not picking up his phone. Typical. Deb tells Vic what Craig just told her. He is confused as well. I thought he was quitting the band. Vic tells Deb that he is scared to see what Craig is going to look like at the show. "Is he just going to look like he just climbed down after fixing a roof all day?" It is agreed on by Vic and Deb that Craig is not a good fit for the band. But what are we supposed to do now?
