da-ron Joined: Jan 02, 2009 Posts: 1305 The original Plymouth, UK.	Posted on Jun 12 2024 07:09 AM I once played a gig in a small, 'intimate' venue where we dressed in fleecy onesies. Mine was a dinosaur, Adam was duck. I strongly advise you not to do the same. By the third song sweat was dripping down my legs into my shoes. Midway through the set my underpants were soaked and I was feeling lightheaded. So whatever you choose, make sure you can last a whole set without passing out with heatstroke. Masks are hot. Los Straitjackets use custom made lightweight ones, a typical Mexican wrestling mask is pretty thick. — http://thewaterboarders.bandcamp.com/ Top

How else will anyone know how important I am? Amazingly, I do wear white socks a great deal of the time, but only because this desert climate where some of the plants here make me itch, and I find that undyed socks help to avoid that, at least on the ankles. So, unless I need to wear dress shoes, I usually wear athletic shoes and white socks. Keep in mind, also, that in this climate, there’s a pretty good chance that I’ll be wearing shorts, at least 8 months of the year, for any casual situation. — The artist formerly known as: Synchro When Surf Guitar is outlawed only outlaws will play Surf Guitar.
