Why, oh, why do I keep bothering with bands that play until 2am on weeknights to the other bands, the bartenders and whatever friends we can guilt into staying. It is so not worth the effort anymore. When I was younger I was just excited to get a chance to play. I knew it sucked but assumed it would get better. How wrong I was. I guess it got better there for a while but it quickly slipped back downhill after a few shows opening for decent bands with my old band.
