A gig!
We (Kubric or on MySpace if you're that way inclined) are playing a rather impromptu gig on Monday evening at the Brunswick Hotel.
More details as they come to hand.
Which reminds me of some stuff ALL ABOUT ME that I was going to post for posterity.
Coxy, the lead singer in our band, was trawling through our old correspondence for past gig information and found the following Bio excerpt. It was vetoed by our then manager, perhaps with good reason. But I still think it's funny.
UNIT'S BIO*
==========
Toby plays the drums and occasionally seasons Kubric's aural mix of classic rock with backup vocals and, to be frank, yelling. When not being his alter-ego Frank, Toby deploys a devestating arsenal of percussive special-moves, including the terrifying Flying Drumstick of Doom (sorry Tom) and the ever-popular Cowbell-to-Splash Counterpoint Combo. Toby's previous music experience include a week-long residency during Toowoomba's Carnival of Flowers in 1991 at High Street Shopping Plaza (The Range) playing Beatles and Violent Femmes covers on his Blues Harp (an instrument he has recently rediscovered, much to everyone's horror). He is a recovering member of Brisbane's Post-Rock Ambient-Punk outfit, Puz. Toby was also fortunate enough to be a member of Hueco (nee Nemo) during their successful tour of regional Victoria in 2004 (success meaning he made out alive). Toby also currently plays drums for And They Were All Vapourized on the occasions that they do actually get round to practicing.

* For a while there I wanted to be called Unit 10001110000110. This was before I changed my stage name to Dr Kenobi Dodecahedron. I am an idiot, I know.

Do you roll that on 2d6 or a d99...NERD*?
*shut up! I have SO never used role playing and knowledge of cthulhu to pick up.
Oh dear, Elaine.
"Hey Baby, you've got a +3 Charisma, do you want to see My Wand of Heavenly Delight (-2 Save Against Will) ..." that kind of thing?
PS: I use the Cthulhu Character Generator.
Not quite.
More along the lines of (to a geek with a beard - you know the type - who thought I was a bit of fluff* in nice clothes) out-nerding:
step one: out-arguing quantum mechanics
step two: some other physics stuff (and why he was wrong)
"you think you're hardcore when it comes to your characters? Bet you never took a half-insane character to your next campaign" (true story)
NB: I did NOT pick up this person, but out-smarted him on order to pick up someone else.
*Fluff, not fluffer!!!
PS: so have I
That's even better. The nerd equiavalent of doing laps ... hey, check out my ... whatever cars have that the kids like so much. Wheels? Rack & Pinion?
