OK, from now until halloween, October 31 email me (via the "Contact Us" page linked in the upper right corner of every page) your worst gigging horror story.
They will be judged by the admins so the mods are also eligible for this contest. Please keep these stories in the realm of truth, blatantly phony stories will be considered as such, however still awarded for creativity...which has been a winner in past contests, but reality is the best horror!
The winner recieves a copy of the PowerFX Vintage Drum machines sample CD valued at $49 USD.

Oct 14, 2003 11:53 am I can submit mine in the form of an mp3 to establish credibility! It's a Jimi Hendrix cover band's spine-tingling tale of stagefright gone mad and stage presence gone entirely, in a room full of people who didn't want us there... I call it - "The Night Jimi Hendrix Rolled Over In His Grave"! Bwahahahahahahahaha.....
update:
can't find the dang tape. grrrr.... will redouble efforts and hopefully locate it this weekend.
Oct 14, 2003 11:58 am absolutely! bring it on!

Oct 14, 2003 03:00 pm Ok, I'll do this tonight. I haven't had many gigs, but it didn't take many to get an atrocious horry story.
[edit]
Ok, so mine's in. I can't wait to read (or hear) everyone elses
Oct 14, 2003 06:52 pm First entries already coming in...get the stories together, this CD is a GREAT prize, especially for people that use PC-based drum machines like FruityLoops or Project 5, I have a copy myself, it's awesome.

Oct 15, 2003 12:59 pm I had a guy throw several large live fish at me once, but it was after a band practice, not a gig - so it doesn't count...
Oct 15, 2003 01:27 pm Hey, so far the response is really good, keep 'em comin, there are some GREAT stories coming. And all every bit believable too.

Hey, dB...I was wondering if we might get to see the stories at some point? It would be fun to check them out. Thanks
Oct 15, 2003 01:56 pm If I get everyone's approval to show them, sure.

Oct 28, 2003 01:02 am yeah Db we should have made a clause that says by entering your story you give permission for the administrators to post it up for everyone to laugh at
