first off, i'd like to apologise to everyone for not playing.
that said, the reason only two of us came back was that in all honesty, we were all fucking exhausted. on guy has a two year old son and a family to take care of (i know some of you guys do too), and someone else had to pack to all sorts of shit to catch a plane in the morning.
it's not really a secret what happened last night, and i know everybody is pissed at one guy in particular. in his defense though, i do have a couple of things to say. one is that like i said, we were all exahusted from work/other bands/etc. he also did have quite a chunk taken out of his finger due being bitten by a his pit bull which was affecting his playing.
one of the things that was brought up is that we didn't play because there wasn't enough people there, and that being close to our home we should have drawn more. fair enough-- but to our credit, we did tell everyone we could get in touch with about the show, but there's only so much you can do in two days. and to be perfectly honest, i have to agree with the point that the show could have been better promoted. i'm not knocking anyone or anything, but as constructive critcism, i didn't see anything about that show except for on this board. that said, we wouldn't cancel a show solely because of a poor turnout. we drove to canada and played for like 10 kids. our drummer's old band played a show in NH for one kid.
there was lots of other shit going on and i'm sorry we brought our shit
with us. but greg is our drummer and our friend, and although we ALL have disagreements from time to time, we have to support each other.
we're all human and we all have our foul moments. everyone's entitled to it once in a while i guess. i'm just sorry for that way it went down, and i'm truly sorry to anyone that we pissed off.
