            <description><![CDATA[We had a rehearsal the other week and as usual with us it was none more rock and roll as we held it in a school assembly hall. How metal is that!

It was Carls idea to do it there as there was a vocal PA rig we could use and the time would be free. 10 years ago when I was skint and had to save up to go out for a Big Mac, this would have been great. Now I'm not so sure considering how many crappy, cheap rehearsal rooms I've been in, I think now I'm happy to pay a bit extra if it means we get complimentary bowls of M&M's. Still, being a school assembly hall it did have  lecturn however Andy refused to act out the lecturn scene from Police Academy.

I was even less impressed when I found out that we had to put the PA rig up ourselves after hauling it from one end of the school to the other. 

The rehearsal itself actually proved to be quite useful, it was nice to plug the sampler and sequencer into a PA and see that they worked. It was also nice to see that my guitar, which hasn't been plugged into anything for years, is now infact pretty shagged. Dodgy connections abounded and the amp produced many exciting fizzes, pops and crackles.

Carl decided that the pickups needed waxing, now being a bloke and having a serious dose of alopeacia, Imac is not something I have in my house but it was plain for me to see that whatever was wrong with the guitar could quite easily be fixed by simply taking it to a guitar shop and asking them to make it better. Whether it needs waxing or not is simply none of my concern.

Anyhoo....I did get some sound out of the guitar, not that it really mattered as I couldn't remember any of the songs. Andy and Carl failed on that score as well but it wasn't that big a deal as it was more useful to find out how things actually sounded and what changes would need to be made to the songs. Lots as it turned out so thats more work for me then?
