I guess this is an improvement...

Drunk people say the darndest things...

A little background:
I regularly have gigs with my band (CONJOB - check us out at www.conjobmusic.com or www.myspace.com/conjob ). Lately we have been in LA a ton. Wednesday evening we had a show at the Key Club for the 2nd round of Bodog's Battle of the bands. (2 of the 10 bands performing advanced to the next round and we came in 2nd and advanced - go us!).

Earlier this year I blogged about how I seriously need to reconsider my role in the band due to some drunken warbles from someone at a show. Once again - a piece of advise/praise was donned upon me without my permission - and again I must say that I adored it...

Drunken foreign guy in bad South American accent of some sort: Hello
Me: Hello (go to end of stage to see what he wanted to tell me)
DFG: I wanted to tell you, You are beautiful and have a beautiful voice...but you are not a dancer.

Now - I was trying to get my crap together and off the stage, and he had a thick accent so I thought perhaps I had heard wrong. I asked him to repeat what he said...he did...I still thought I had heard wrong. So I told him I would speak to him after I packed up my stuff and got back inside the club.

So later, foul-smelling-like-stale-cigarette guy once again told me what I didn't want to hear:

DFG: You are beautiful and have a beautiful voice...but you are not a dancer...you can not dance.

UUUUUUUUUUUUUUUMMMMMMMMMM....thanks?
I guess I should just be thankful that he didn't think I played the flute.
