QSC flew down some brand-new, not-on-the-market-yet line array to demonstrate at Bumbershoot. The guy I work for went to check it out. Every single mid-range driver erupted in flames simultaneously...halfway through the demo. My 'boss' had to scale the truss and help put them out with an extinguisher, hero style.
Nice demo.

I am not sure I know what a line array looks like, but the image in my head of it erupting in flames is very comical.
I am glad nobody got hurt.

Substitute 'PA speakers' for 'line array'. Sorry about the dorkspeak.

Flaming speakers!
That is so punk rock.

I've been thinking of a good film I watched at the weekend. The Squid and the Whale. Good soundtrack, mostly Bert Jansch and it was also great to hear Street Hassle.

This is a little detail from last Thursday.
I went into London after work to meet my friend for a pint. We're trying to write some comedy for a BBC competition. We had a couple of beers, and a burger, and made each other laugh. So far, so good.
I had to get the tube back to Victoria. When I got on the tube it was fairly quiet, so I grabbed a seat. All these loud, drunk assholes got on a couple of stops later. They were wearing green gig wristbands with the MTV logo on them. Then a couple got on, and the woman looked fairly pregnant. Bearing in mind the stand-up line "I'd rather see a pregnant woman stand than a fat woman cry"*, I did not ask the woman if she was pregnant, but I stood up and walked past her to make it obvious that there was a seat free. Before she could move one of the MTV pricks pushed past me and grabbed the seat.
*I have made a fat woman cry in the past by asking her if she was pregnant. I would like to point out that this was done in the course of duty as a pharmacy counter assistant, not out of any sense of malice.

Would that be the "Show Me The Funny" competition?

I drank 48 oz. of Mountain Dew.
I know it's bad for me. It gives me a hell of a kick, though. I can't drink coffee. It tastes terrible and makes me feel sick.
