What was your average day (probably) like on....
- Thread starter sadchild
- Start date
I was engaged (got married 8 months later). My wife was in her third year of college. I was driving the vending route 40-50 hours a week. Then I'd drive an hour and a half to visit her up I-89 halfway to Vermont. On Nov 22, we saw KMFDM in Boston with a couple friends.
My room mate and I gave up on our never-came-to-be band Inevitable Demise by joining an existing band named One & A Half Down. I don't remember if I've already shared this story before. As we pulled into the driveway of the practice space for our first jam in downtown Dover NH, an ambulance was driving away up the road from the place. Didn't think too much of it. Walked in and there was a trail of blood from the practice space to the bathroom. The guitarist that my friend was replacing (I was the new keyboard player) apparently had a change of mind that night. He went from "I'm moving far away. I'm outta here." to "You're replacing me! I have no reason to live!" and had sliced his arms up in the practice space, then went into the bathroom. He was in the back of that ambulance. It looked like a murder scene. We spent the entire "rehearsal" cleaning up blood in the practice space, hallway and bathroom.
And that was my first real band experience.

It sounds like Miscarriage may have been a better name.
I would expect that more from a lead singer.
Guitar players are more likely to break your car window and sleep with your girlfriend.
You do your own wet work. Nice!
THAT would be rock and roll!
FIFY
For every edit we make it gets less random. The whole point of this thread it to run it through the randomize date site and deal with what we get.
I can see the appeal of dictatorship. When I buy this site there will be no need for arguments as to why my opinion is what's best for us all and despite your objections I will be magnanimous.

Fuck. I shouldn't have made that dumb jokey post. Now I'm gonna be watching this for the next 2.5 hours.

My son's first trip to the zoo was the next weekend (05/20). I have pictures otherwise I would not have a clue. My son would have been 3 months old on this date. My life on any day was making the adjustment to being a parent of an toddler. I was also still getting used to being a step-parent of a teenager who pushed the limits.

That's a very Salem NH day! Living in Atkinson at the time, that was about as good as it got.
I was working in Fort Collins, CO and was set to movie to Nebraska to take a job at a newspaper in a small town. Moved there in June, hated it, moved back at the end August. Then we all know what happened next!

Although my digital camera archives didn't start until 2002, we had the Hi-8 video camera, and that got used in 2001. I don't have anything specifically for that day; but a month prior, I took delivery of my first new BMW that I ordered from the factory. It turned out to be the most problematic BMW I've owned. In fact, on 9/11, I had to (once again) leave it at the shop, and I got a ride into work from a coworker friend. So when we got in, a plane had already hit the 1st tower, and we were just catching-up.
Anyway, back to the target date. A month after the date, on June 15th, we did a weekend in Point Sebago. We started going there 2 years earlier, for a week each summer. But this time, the kids had summer camp, so we just did the late spring weekend. I think we did Point Sebago a total of 5 times. It's on Sebago lake in Maine, and it's an enclosed 700 acre camp-resort site. You can bring a trailer, or rent one of theirs of various sizes, or rent a cottage. And the place had it's own village, with a center where you can get lunch, a general store, and several pavilions for dining, entertainment, and arts and crafts. Camp counselors from all over the world spend the summer, and run the activities for kids of various age groups. Meanwhile, the parents can sit on the beach and drink.
The kids could learn how to canoe or kayak, or play sports, or make pottery. And from 3-5 pm everyday, the entertainment pavilion had happy hour with live performers. And they had shows at night too. Most of the families who went to Point Sebago would come the same week each year, and then the kids and parents would all become friends. It was great for a few years, when the kids were young.

So you can trace the day that you became an asshole! Nice.
It wasn't my 1st BMW, but I'm not sure I understand what a nice sports coupe has to do with people's personalities. Should I be banished to driving a Chevy or Honda, because that's acceptable to your sensitivities?
