Last Minute Rehearsal Cancellations and Schedule Switcheroos

The reason we have a regularly scheduled rehearsal is so that we can PLAN in advance what our schedules will be. That way we can shedule social lives AROUND it. You know, like you do with any other work.

If you don't get to see your friend or go to this gig that you would have liked to have seen or jet off to Berlin - well guess what? Sometimes you have to make sacrifices to be in a band! I manage to get my ass to rehearsal, even when I'm sick, even when I'm depressed, even when I get a last minute invite to do something social. I've just been invited to birthday drinks on the night of our rehearsal. So what did I do? Did I try to rearrange three other people's previously agreed schedules so I can go hang out with my friend? No, I said "sorry, but I have rehearsal". Life sucks like that.

Also... I live in South London. Deal with it. Three rehearsals of the month, I haul my ass up to North London (and trust me, it's just as far for me to go up there as it is for you to come down here) so one freaking night of the month you can you get your lazy ass down to my house.

Grrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrr!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Blowing off steam here so I can be nice and polite to my bandmates when I compose an emailed reply.
