I should really rewrite this intro:
It's that time again, a time when we get together and share our work, talk about performing, talk about practice, ask questions, and see if we can push ourselves to new levels of enjoyment. The most important thing is that we enjoy ourselves.
Some of us play for fun. Some of us are professionals. Some of us play with our friends. Some of us are just learning. Some of us don't even really play at all. It doesn't matter, we want to hear you play as well as you can - or just play.
I don't care if you play a kazoo - I want to hear it and, if history is any guide, the rest of the folks who frequent this thread also want to hear it. So, no matter what you play, come share it with us. If we like the song, we'll sing along when we all get to the chorus!
Grab your guitar and your cell phone - and play us a song. Sing for us! Play a piano. Make electronic music. Play a kazoo, blow a trumpet, bang a xylophone! We don't mind - we want to hear all of it, not just guitar.

Yup.
Well, I'm on a tablet...
I had a band, while still in high school. We fucked around and even had an album cut. We looked the part and we got a recording contract with a major record label. They sent us on a tour down the eastern seaboard.
Then, I went to LA and I lost my band.
We got our forward and paid whatever we were owed for the tour. Initially, we rented different places but we all ended up living in a house that we trashed. We got a large sum of money, for our ages and the time.
We didn't step one foot in the studio.
I'm pretty sure we still owe the lable money.
We did exactly what you are thinking we did.
I eventually got some more money from my mom, so I could drive back across the country, dropping some of them off along the way. I don't remember the exact time frame, but I was signed up to join the Marines within just a few days. Way back then, I said I'd never play in another band. I didn't, until I needed the money to survive college. The GI Bill was kinda shitty back then.

sounds like a movie treatment
