You should have thrown something at her, a rock or something.

A lesser man (with more balls) might have told one of the bands "Sorry, I can't do it. Find another drummer or cancel the show."

I made other plans. I played in Atlanta with Five-Eight at Smith's Old Bar from 11:15 to midnight. I leapt up from behind the drum kit at Smith's at midnight, ran down the back stairs, jumped into my car and rushed to Athens.

I managed to make the drive in one hour and ten minutes.

Someone was waiting outside the club in Athens for me, they went and parked my car. My vistalites were already on stage when I arrived. By 1:25, I was starting my second show.

I now wish that there was some way I could play a show before every show, because my muscles were so warm and loose that it was easily the best Music Hates You show I have played in months.

I now realize that any difficulties I have playing MHY songs (which are fairly athletic undertakings) are purely because my muscles aren't warm enough.

I feel kind of like a super hero right now, but I guess playing two shows in two different cities with two different bands isn't THAT big a deal...

My criteria. Nothing more, nothing less.

You gotta keep chomping down on the gauze. My mouth bled for hours after I got a guy yanked last year.

Don't spit. It might disrupt the seal forming over the hole in your gum, and then it become an abcess which would suck and be real stinky.

Hope they let you keep the tooth.

From what I remember when I got wisdom teeth removed, the act of spitting and the act of drinking through a straw are two things that they are afraid can contribute to "dry sockets"... thankfully I did not get "dry sockets", but I have heard that it is a whole 'nother world of pain...

...if it is still gushing blood... did he give you any cotton/gauze

(just as I was typing that I stopped, because I remembered how you feel about cotton... hmmm... don't know what to tell you then...)

Is there any other type of absorbent thing you can pack in your mouth to help with the bleeding?
