I have an extremely good few days coming up...

[Duarte]

First of all, I just performed my A level Drama exam - which is a HUGE relief. That was the most terrifying performing experience of my life, and it went well. So that was good.

It's my 18th on monday, so tomorrow my dad is taking me out (to the pub no doubt) which should be fun. The day after it is my mates 21st, which is going to be HUGE. The day after me, some mates and brothers are taking a trip into london to visit Denmark street, full of guitars and basses. We are also going to Gordon Ramsay's restraunt (you have probably heard of him?)

So of course the day after it is my birthday. School night, so nothing massive - probably drinking.

Anyway, tuesday...this is when it gets interesting!

Tuesday is Bongo day! He has shipped the 4HS and it is due on tuesday. Epic.

I can't tell you how excited I am, it's gonna be unbelievable. (I think I may be the youngest Bongo owner on here...that's got to be worth something)

And to top it off, me and my older brother Louis are taking a trip to Camden (in London) to see Maceo Parker at the jazz cafe...(strictly over 18s!)

So yeah, just though I would share with you a very good week coming up.

... and to top it all up, as soon as you have photographic evidence of you holding your bongo while sober, you will receive my promised present in the form of an Ernie Ball paper weight.

Enjoy Maceo Parker and Candem Town, can't say much about Gordon Ramsey's restaurant as they have a bad rap lately for not providing freshly cooked food items but rather microwaved.

 

[Duarte]

I yes how could I forget! The awesomeness of the Ernie Ball Paperweight! I wont go NEAR the bongo whilst not sober.

Cool, a lot going on. Happy Birthday early, and Happy Bongo Day too. Who's Gordon Ramsay? Oh, is he that really pompous judge on American Idol? Or am I getting my trash tv confused?

 

[Duarte]

Bongo day is going to be an annual celebration in my household.

 

[Grand Wazoo]

Gordon f###ing Ramsey as he is best known, is a celebrity chef that swears a lot and treat his staff like sh|t but it makes for exciting television seeing what goes on his his "hell's kitchen"

 

[Duarte]

Guys this is the ernie ball forum, not the food/TV forum. Jeez.

Anyway, back to the original point. B - O - N - G - O.

As you can tell I'm excited.

 

[adouglas]

Oh, man, what a GREAT series of events!

Burn this week into your memory. Times like this are priceless.

 

[fidooda]

terrific Zak enjoy those moments! and enjoy that bongo!

...(I think I may be the youngest Bongo owner on here...that's got to be worth something...

And surely wise beyond your years!



Awesome few days indeed - enjoy!

Happy birthday and enjoy Maceo. I have ran sound for him several times. Killer band!

 

[laneline]

Hey Happy impending Birthday, and most importantly pre congrats on getting a Bongo, have a great time in London.
I'd say something witty about urning 18 but I'd have to go under reverse hypnosis to do so! But it's great to hear you'll have a killer bass to celebrate the occasion with, all the best. Rick

happy bongobirthday

 

[Sonnyonbass]

Enjoy those days! All sounds great to me
On the lookout for a new bass then?



Just avoid Gordon. His food gets prepared in a factory while he claims it to be all fresh. Its not worth the money... trust me.

 

[Duarte]

On the lookout for a new bass then?

Well I'm hoping I have a bass as my present...but if not then I've got one coming anyway!

And surely wise beyond your years!

What do you mean?

Thanks guys.
