      From: corvib@gmail.com              Not sure if I posted this...              In 1976 around early October, we scored a gig in a town called Carlsbad       Springs, Ontario and found ourselves in the middle of nowhere playing a place       called Pat and Gord's Hotel; owned by, non other than Pat and Gord.               What we found out about the town of, NO POPULATION, was that the guy named       Carl who found the town 100 years before, dug a well, the water was bad and       the town was called Carlsbad Springs. Salt water coming out of the taps. Six       Hundred Miles inland; salt        water... yum.               So, we played for Pat and Gord and almost no one else for the week until, one       night, we were sitting at the bar during a break watching television with       either Pat or Gord (in my minds eye I can't tell them apart or remember)       watching the news and a flash        came on about a prison break and the face on the screen was one ugly, mean       looking bastard. The bartender said "Holy Shit!" and said, "that facility is       just down the road! I know that guy and he'd just as soon cut your throat as       say good morning".               I am not paraphrasing, that's what he said. Then, he proceeded to pack up some       stuff and left saying, "help yourself to the bar, don't open the door for       anyone".               We all went upstairs, after helping ourselves to the bar per the owners       instructions and brought with us mic stands to help thwart any visit from       crazy-assed jailbreak murderer.               Funny shit              --- SoupGate-Win32 v1.05        * Origin: you cannot sedate... all the things you hate (1:229/2)    |
