Comos 17th

Last night was Comos 17th birthday, we played a gig at harrys bar with Down With Vegas, Concede to Glory and Destroy Her Beauty. Awesomeeee night! Got myself 8 "Birra Moretti" beers from Sainsburys for pretty cheap, something like a fiver I can't remember. Already had a few cans before I came out. Had to get a lift there off my dad because my mum couldn't do it haha, she never gives me lifts! Got there and set up my stuff to soundcheck, but we went and got the beers first, went to some place behind sainsburys called the market and got tipsy with everyone, cheadle lot! Comos mates came down and give him a card that made a noise! Was well good. After soundcheck got a bottle of sainsburys basics baby! Nasty stuff. Went for a piss and came back and caught some Nobbys Nuts in my mouth, right tasty.
Then at some point we went and watched Down With Vegas, proper good band check 'em out. They finished and we went to set up, by this time I had finished all my vodka and most of my beers so I was a bit stumbly, I ended up tripping over my bass drum haha, but I don't think anyone noticed. Set went pretty well, opened up with Intro, then went into Distance, once again I got the uber bass pedal at the breakdown :) Then was Nip Tuck, Falling For Martyrdom, Dead to Me, When In Rome and then the un-named one. Dropped my sticks twice haha, once I was wearing Lukes download trilby, with a nice tshrit over the shoulder option because I was lubed up as though I was ready for full body anal, the trilby came off and landed on my stick, went to hit the snare and it bounced out of my hand! Luckily there were spares right next to me on the hihat stand, and the other time I can't even remember what happened haha, ahhh well. Was an awesome night. Something kicked off in the crowd but I think things got settled, hopefully.
At the end of the set, me and Luke still hadn't got a way to get home! And I had my drum kit. So we packed it all up and took it downstairs and we decided to get a taxi, going to my house first then Cheadle for Luke. Came in at a total of £18 which isn't that bad at all, only a fiver for me though so I was alrite with it. Luke managed to scrape £13 out of his bag! He just kept finding pound coins under this flap, I'd be so happy if I was him at that point. Taxi came, picked us up and just round the first corner Luke kept hassling the guy to see if he would go any lower on the price haha!
Luke: "Can you go any lower mate?"
Guy: "No I fucking can't"
Luke: "Not even a tenner?"
Guy: "Listen mate, if you're gonna take the piss for the rest of the journey you can get out at Birches Head and walk"
Hahaha, akward conversation. So naturally, we spat on his seats, eye for an eye!
Got home, took my stuff upstairs, had my last two beers and then can't remember much else after that haha.
Good night!
