LAST WEEKS GIGS - THE PROLOGUE :: PAULIES PARTY PANTIES EXPOSED....

Current mood: PANTY REPAIR...
Category: PANTY REPAIR... Music

INTRODUCTION

Drinking strategies are an important part of the modern life of a music writer...

Yes boss, to avoid addiction, beerbellyitus or liver chaos, one needs to know what drinks to have and WHEN to have them...!

Now you might well expect a seasoned performer like Paul Giovanni 3^rd to have his strategies finely and cleverly honed, but for this last musical year or so he's been labouring under a false and at times damaging strategy...

However, last week, by pure and complete financial accident combined with advice and a bunch of good bands, Giovanni has found his own personal solution to this cancerous problem...

Accidents solve problems - FACT!

THE BACKGROUND (A TIMELINE)

2004-2006

Paul Giovanni 3rd is a house monkey - his life mostly polite and self contained within the moat of Fish Island. Yes boss, having accrued a huge stash of records and mp3s, Giovanni listens to every last one at least once before any more LIVE musical journeys.

Late 2006

PG returns to the LIVE music fray as a passenger. His party panties are languishing in about the worst possible condition - Underfunded, understress, underclass...

RUSTY RUSTY RUSTY!!

THE 2007 STRATEGY

Giovanni 3 works on the principle that the very best way to prepare for a night out of music and dancing is to eat at aroundabout 7pm, maybe take in a beer or two and then wolf down a quick 3 or 4 cans on the bus on the way to the venue (arriving approx 9pm happily drunk and well fed)..

The theory maintains that the food is needed to keep one going all night without further food required and the beer needed to apply a cheap alcohol headstart and therefore make it possible to stay drunk for the rest of the evening in bars that drain money for fun...

Yes boss, in these cash ridden times you need £50 to get properly drunk and fed and in the ones that only do bottled beer you need a good deal more + the barside patients of a friggin saint..

THE FLAW IN THE 2007 STRATEGY

The plan doesn't work..

No boss, often was the case that Giovanni has been at a fine show and been looking to dance or go appropriately mental, but hasn't managed it. Instead he sits sullenly like a moody bloater music writing type, trying to digest more fatty carbohydrates than a squad of half dead christmas turkeys..

RESULT

=

Paulies Party Panties have remained in appalling shape

THE SOLUTION??

Parts 2,3 and 4 will detail and review the 3 gigs that lead to enlightenment and the formation of the new and imporved 2008 plan for proper party panty power…

	Purveyor of Nothing	If you're going out 4 a skinfull,have crap carbs suh as a jacket potato,or some toast or noodles,thus providing a cushion 4 whatever u choose 2 throw down.Bland as possible mind so if heaven forbid there is any resurgunce....It can be carried out with mimimal 'yuuueeeuucchh' factor.Luckily Im 2 old 4 people 2 give me peer pressure on drinking stupid stuff,as they wouldn't drink it themselves they cant apply the pressure.Now they just give me gardening books.I think its a hint 2 sort my wilderness out.I am surprised you get away with drinking on buses,I thought they'd be against it in 'that Lahndun'.What you can do,of course if you go 2 a gig is hang out with other musos....they're bound 2 get u a round in :) Posted by Purveyor of Nothing on Wednesday, November 21, 2007 at 14:17 [Remove] [Reply to this]

	: THE FUTUREPROOF MUSIC BLOG BY PIOUS GIOVANNI :	I'm sure the unquestionable pleasure of drinking on buses will soon be removed from our grasp - all pleasures are apparnetly temporary these days.. As for the basic carb layer - I agree that it's definately useful - it just needs to be taken in before 4pm prefrably whilst reading a gardening book..
