We practice in a storage unit, you know what I'm talking about... Well we got a new manager or something and she came to us tonight saying that we have to turn our stuff down. Ok, I guess we could turn our amps down but how do you turn down the beat of the drums? I guess Kris could beat softer but that would undermine our whole practicing process because we'd be practicing at a much softer rate, and that just doesn't fly. She's being totally unreasonable. We pay freakin' $200 a month for that place and she can't be more lenient?And they have three other bands playing that I know of, so they have to expect noise. They wouldn't have let any of us rent a unit if they didn't want bands. When the guys first rented the place they gave us the impression that we could play as much as we want as long as we were out by the time it closed, and now they're changing the rules on us. She's saying that she puts her daughter to bed at 8 so we have to stop playing by then, but what if we lived next door to her, she couldn't do shit, the sound ordinance isn't until 10pm or something right? And when we brought up our points she responded with, "Well I can evict anyone I want, though I don't want to" Its like, c'mon give us some fuckin leeway, especially at the price we're paying. We're getting such great feedback from people who hear us. Even random people who don't know us. I was putting my bass in my car tonight and some lady who was doing business with her own storage was driving by and asked what our band name was, then proceeded to say that we sound great. This was from some middle aged woman, someone I definitely wouldn't expect to hear that from. And then shit like this has to happen to set us back. RRRRR!!!

tell whoever shoved the stick up her ass they have to come remove it now. did you guys sign a leese or something? was there a contract? because if there is then it's one can of whoopass i would love to open for ya... if you guys don't, you should probably draft one now, before they go changing anymore rules.

I'd love that, but none of us have available garages or parents who'd give them up.
