Ok so I have had a pretty decent idea of what I wanted to write about today and at first was afraid I would not be able to tell the story while keeping it family friendly, then I realized the events that happened were family friendly. So I was worrying about nothing. Well anyhow on to the story of how close I was to finding a Ms Right Now who was a bass player.
One Breath at one point was doing so good that we were getting gigs in different major cities including Cleveland. Well one night we had a gig opening for an all girl rock band. We had got there early in the day after hours of long traveling. Well since we were the first band we got in and setup our equipment early. Then we just hung around. Well later on we were in the upstairs VIP room and we were just talking to the opening band, or at least the rest of the band was. I was busy carrying on an in depth conversation with their bass player. Don’t ask me what the conversation was about because I don’t remember, heck I can’t even remember the name of the place the band played in after searching through the different bars in Cleveland using Yahoo yellow pages and Google Earth. I just remember being pulled away from the conversation because our band was about to play and they needed me in the crowd, and getting the feeling that we both wanted me to stay up there.
So One Breath played their set list including such original hits as “Jump”, oh yeah another cool thing about the band was they didn’t do any cover songs they had nothing but originals. After they played we tore down our equipment and packed it all in the trailer in the rain. After the trailer was packed up Eric who was my only ride decided he wanted to leave not even half way through the other bands set list, although later I found out I could have stayed and gotten a ride from the rest of the band. So I didn’t get to even say goodbye to the bass player or even ask for her number. I had to leave right there and then or risk upsetting my best friend and reason for being there in the first place since it was his drums I was in charge of. Granted the reason he wanted to leave was because he wanted to go home and sleep in his own bed before going back up to Cleveland for another gig the next day at a different venue, but still it would’ve been nice to stay and hang out there for a while and maybe even do something that is not family friendly with the bass player. From what I was told she was asking for me later on.
If Eric can get a hold of the band again I may ask him to see about getting the video performance of the gig just so I can show my friends the band and the band they opened for.

That would be a pretty simple one to do, not sure on how the girl would react. She would probably laugh her but off at me as she walks away.
