One of our guitar players lives just a couple of blocks from a
micro-sized bar and I must emphasize micro. This was fall of 2011. Our
band was only a few months old and this was our first time there.
They literally move a pool table for the band and that is about how
much room you have to set up. But it's a fun little place with a loyal
local crowd that loves to party and packs it in.
About half-way through our gig a crowd of older women come in
obviously already enjoying themselves. I'd guess early 50's to some blue
hairs. Turned out they were celebrating one of the ladies 80th
birthday.
Despite our hard rock repertoire they were loving us and dancing to every song.
At the end of a song the birthday girl politely asked our guitarist if
she could say something over the mic. He was like "sure it's your
birthday have fun." Now mind you this lady is 80 years old tonight and
looks like a typical great-grandma. Well she grabs the mic and screams
at the top of her lungs "I AM FUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUCKED UP!" Our
jaws hit the floor. That was the last thing we were expecting from her
mouth. But everyone was cheering and laughing and after we got over the
shock we were laughing too. Man I wish we had that on camera.
