So we play last night at a local club. Half an hour after we get done, we are loading the equipment and three of us come back in to the club from the vans in the parking lot.
Four really drunk young ladies are leaving and immediately jump on us for getting there so late.. "You guys missed a great band!!" they tell us.
Obviously we made a strong personal impression on them..not. And what's really funny is we are all wearing our band jackets.

last night a drunk walked up on stage grabbed my mic and sang a drunken accapella version of Willie Nelson's "You were always on my mind". He then bought 2 CD's and his very embarrassed (and very cute) daughter dragged him back to his chair...
ahhh, showbiddnez...

A dive we were playing at years ago had a mirrored wall on the side of the dance floor. One lady decided she'd had enough to drink ( good decision) and started walking towards the front door. Correction, started walking towards the reflection of the front door. She finally was startled by her own reflection (that lady almost walked into me!), she looked confused for a second, and then turned and found the real front door.
It's hard to play when you're laughing that hard!

LOL, Botch...
and isn't that the great joke on all audiences? We (performers) actually get our own show to observe at each gig.
We always enjoy watching the guys hitting on girls and being shot down. The best is when a guy walks up to a table full of women, gets turned down by the first, and then proceeds to ask the other 5 sitting with her...as if they will now say yes 
The best was the night we had our monthly gig for a radio stations "bone into the weekend party." (93.3 The Bone FM). They had their "bone babes" there doing "cheerleader twister." Sometimes it's good to have the best view in the house! 
Of course, I then ask my self where was all this when I was 23 and gigging and single...not 42 and gigging and married?

I always got a kick out of watching some guy take a gal to the front of the dance floor and start groping her, thinking the other dancers would block his activities.
Imagine his shock when he finally comes up for air and looks up to see me staring at him from under my keyboard stand while he's getting a little skin and doing the vertical rhumba..
Gotta love it.

Let's see....
Once a drunk fell into the drums.
One show, this guy laid down on his back on the dance floor while this drunk lady danced over him in a mini skirt....She had no undies on.
One time, This blonde came in with this silver looking mini skirt and high heel boots. She kind of looked like a jetson. When she danced it was like Elaine on Seinfeld. I couldn't even descibe what it was but Nobody....not even the band could take there eye's off of her.
Our last show was for the Nascar event. It was a lot of fun. We learned some appropriate songs for this and this one girl decided she could sing and came up to my microphone....I couldn't sing because she was so off key. Here I am playing and trying to signal to my friends to please drag her away....
I agree...It's the best seat in the house.

So he, me, and about 3 other techs went with him. He was kind of an "absent minded-professor" type, went into this place. Sat at a smaller bar and really nothing was going on. We only had like one 1/2 liter of beer each.
He gets to talking to the woman behind the bar and finds out we're in the wrong place, the place he wanted is down an alley next door (he didn't knwo the name of the place was "smuget" which is norwegian for "the alley" :-) so he says "great..thanks!" to the woman and we head out...
He did the same thing, led us right into a mirror :-) it was funny as hell, 5 folks walking like a flock of ducks following the leader and he leads us into a mirror.
They were nice enough to wait til we got outside to burst out laughing at us idiots.
