Happy new year everyone hope everyone was safe.
Had a gig tonight girlfriend got really drunk and also a bar brawl broke out so it ended early.
However unsafe my morse from serious damage cause the bar fight was Out of control. It went on for a good 45 minutes an also I had to deal with a puking girlfriend who coul barely walk . I don't drink so I was fine but I had to carry her to the cAr . Very interesting New Years gig what about you guys what's up with your New Years?
The weird thing the cops came but never went inside to stop the fight never seen that before , Tollie any idea why?

They absolutely should have gone into the bar. One time, I was the first police officer to a huge bar brawl. I went in alone and backed myself up against a large column in the center of the room to protect my back, just swinging my wooden nightstick in one hand and protecting my face from flying beer bottles with the other. It was like a movie. It took ten minutes before backup arrived, which is a very long time to be in a fight.

Happy New Year!

Whoa.... a night to remember!
at least you & yours can start today unharmed (except for a nasty hangover for your GF, I presume...been there, done that...)
Me & the missus were snoring by 10:30 last night...older & wiser perhaps.....

Hope 2014 is good to everyone here!!

As a member of the "Short pip squeak Society", I have to lodge a complaint that all Short Pip Squeaks start a fight and then leave.




Personally I like to stay and watch. ;)

Happy New Year's all. Glad you made it out ok with your girl. People simply act stupid drunk. There are cool ones and bad ones. The bad ones I hate the most. I stayed home with my wife and watched movies. Better safe than sorry. Just had that feeling something bad was gonna happen. lol

Happy New Year all!!

Had a big show last night myself, reportedly 1,500 tickets sold, but would estimate 1/3 that present - was pleasantly surprised how well behaved everyone was!!!

A great 2014 wish to everyone!

I played at gig at a local Moose Lodge. Hardly Radio City Music Hall, but it was near capacity and everyone was in excellent spirits. Played my Albert Lee and ended up in the Waffle House at 3am for a post gig de-brief!

Good times!
