I'm not sure how close to the bandstand the incident was, but at once
all our throats seized up and started burning.  Damn kids!

Anyone else ever get the pepper spray or mace treatment at a gig?

The pay was average, but the dinner was excellent (penne pasta with
mushrooms and meatballs, a nice salad with little peppers in it, and
roasted potatoes).  Done at 10:53.  Word.

For the record - 2 rehearsals for the gig.  Only a couple rough
patches which were quickly brought back in line.  Excellent, excellent
drummer on this gig.  It makes things so much more enjoyable.

Yep. I was playing a show in Collie, south of Perth, Western
Australia, and the security dude had to pepper spray a guy. The guy
went down like a dropped bag of shit, and the room was pretty well
cleared and uninhabitable for about a half hour.
