ok heres another one.
i went to spain a few years ago for 2 weeks to do a very quick music technologoy course for some of the local djs.
after the course finished i had a gig at a local house club, the day before i'd realised i'd forgotten my floppy disks ( i was playing live back then with samplers drum machines and a full desktop computer !!) so i'd called london and got them fed exed over.
so i set up in this club and played my "halo " set which went down really well ( so far so good ......or so i thought )
so then we decide to go and really "party" if you know what i mean and we head down to this afterhours with loads of sketchy people and general sketchiness going on all over the place and i'm starting to get a bit weirded out by all these spaniards clapping me on the back and saying " hey amigo!!!!!!! " etc etc.....
then at about 4 in the afternoon!!!! i'm on the dancefloor completely out of my mind! and the guys i was with come up and say "would you like to play????"
i say "no thanks man i'm done" .
and they say "well we've been back to the other club and collected your equpitment ( id left it there for safety) and it's all over there" (pointing at this small stage)
so i go over and start trying to open all my flight cases and start getting all my leads out and disks and plugging things in and just generally pulling everything out of the boxes and putting it all on the floor in a total pile tangling all the leads up and completely freaking out because i just haven't got a clue how any of it goes together and i'm standing there scratching my head with a load of leads hanging round my neck and all my gear on the floor in a big pile
and they turn on the stage spots!!!!!
i'd been trying to do everything in the dark and evryone in the club turned toward the stage to see me sweating, with a hundred leads round my neck in a kind of " what the **** is going on?? " pose
and they all pissed themselves laughing.
it took about 10 minutes for me to plug the mouse into the computer.(i couldn't see the hole)

i did finally manage to get it all going ( i don't know how )
and played my set which sounded ok apart from me pressing the space bar 3 times during it and stopping it all.......



i am a prize turnip when i get going.
