Oh ok... It all started when I first made contact to a guitarist by the name of Eric. I spoke with him a bit about bands we're interested in and we decided to get together and jam (all this was previously mentioned in a different thread). So we did what we could with just the two of us for a few sessions. I had passed the stories of us jamming along to a few of my friends as expected. One of which wanted to start a band as well, so I gave him the website I used to get things going. Later I'd noticed he'd posted an ad as a vocalist and figured good for him. About a week ago Eric called me up and said we've got a drummer to audition and he was scheduled to audition yesterday. While he was talking to me he said "dude, we ought to find a vocalist." I figured that's doable. Later on I was talking to the one friend who posted an ad for himself (for future referance his name's Darryl). I mentioned that we were auditioning a drummer and I dropped Eric's name into the conversation to which Darryl said "dude, that's ironic, I've been talking to a dude named Eric about joining a band as a vocalist." After convesation ensued we came to the conclusion it was the same Eric. Friday night I was at a different friend's place when I got a call from Eric. "We're going to have to cancel the audition." Thing about Eric is he's going through a divorce right now and he's living in his mom's basement until he can get his own place and his mom didn't want a drummer there. She can handle the guitars with volume control, but a drummer is too much. So Darryl and I were going to go get with him regardless. Come Saturday I wasn't able to get in touch with Eric to clarify the plans so I just called Darryl up and said "hey, let's just goof off." So I got some games and my Macgyver DVDs and we watched those for a few hours. After having had our fill of Macgyver we decided to go to Barnes and Noble. There we read all the metal magazines we could, checked out the music books, and drank a load of water from the water fountain. Following that we went to Best Buy where I landed a King Diamond CD and continued the water fountain chugging saga. Darryl deserves credit for he's a braver man than I as one of the fountains barely squirted water so he went and kissed itfor a drink. After that we went to a couple of fast food restaraunts and ordered "water with extra water." After that we wandered to a near by local town that happened to have a small time university which we blended with the crowds.... well, that was the plan anyway. There wasn't much of a crowd so we just sat on a bench and talked about music. Of course that got boring so we went to Meijer and sat in the car for a few minutes trying to figure out why we were even there. We came to no conclusion, but we still went inside. I made a pit stop to release some of the water I'd drank and came out only to see Darryl riding around in the handicap cart. Craziest part of that was that I was the only witness before he called it quits. After we made it into the actual store we just started walking around when some dude said "nice shirt." We turned around to see who it was and there stood a Meijer employee pointing at Darryl's Mayhem shirt. So for 10 minutes we talked about metal before the guy decided he ought to get back to work. Just before we parted ways I shot out "do you know any drummers?" To which he replied "I am a drummer." Darryl and I were awstruck at this and quickly asked him for his phone number. So after we got that out of him the both of us decided to continue our childish ways and began growling our entire convesations throughout the store. We made way into the video game section only to hear some guys talking about some fighting game and how the girls' boobs shake. Not to long after that we left empty handed. We went to some small store after that, got some hot pockets, went back to his place and watched more Macgyver before we crashed. This was something like 3 or 4 in the morning by time it was all over.
