CHEERS

[Cinjin]

This thread has simply become a good place to drop a single thought when you don't want to start a whole thread about it.

So with that in mind -- the following still makes me chuckle.


I was playing one of my weekly gigs over at Nick Fink's (a bar not far from my house), and after completing my second set, a slightly intoxicated woman of about my age approaches me with several questions.

She was very kind, complimenting me and asking me the sort of regular questions I often get asked: How long have you been doing this? Where else do you play? How many song? etc etc.

I figured the pleasantries were about over and I was about to refill my beer when she hit me with -- "do you ever play at your church?"

"MY church??" was of course my response. "Well, everybody has some kind of church." she says with a well duh kind of tone. "EVERYone does?" I replied.

Being a bit intoxicated she didn't pick up on my own sarcastic tone. She actually went on to say that she asked because SHE thought it would be great if I would come and play at her church sometime in the coming month. Play in her CHURCH?!?! What the fuck? Am I on some kind of reality prank show? Did my friends set me up? What's going on?! I wanted to say, "look crazy bitch, I don't know how it is you think that everyone has a church, let alone that a musician you met in a BAR would be interested in coming to play the Praise Hour in your little god center, but you need to turn your naive little ass around and head back to where you came from."

I didn't say that. I was polite and simply declined, but my friends and I did have material for humor the rest of the evening.


Still kinda makes me laugh. A drunk woman in a bar trying to get me to come perform in her church.
