Dave-0, thank you (and great story btw), you reminded me of prolly my favorite Hal and DJ Melbatoast story.
We went out to a bar to play an open mic set on his birthday. 5 years ago today, actually! We got so sloshed we:
a) Cut our set short mid song because DJ had stopped playing and was staring at the wall
Almost fought some White Supremasist types (outnumbered us - we made the right decision by not fighting, trust me)
c) Spent some time in the hospital to treat DJ's concussion (long story, but didnt involve the KKK at least)
d) Forgot our instruments (two guitars, Mando, and Conga) at the bar.
