Best Ad for a Bass Player EVER!

So, I posted an ad looking for a bass player. This is what happened:

Post from me:
Why are we looking for a bass player?
We’ve never had one and it’s time!

Who are we?
We’re The Virgo 9. www.myspace.com/thevirgonine We practice weekly and you can look at our show schedule for the general frequency with which we leave the house. We have local label support, releases on the horizon, and some interesting things in the works.

What do we want from you?
First and foremost, the ability to practice and perform all shows listed and a few long weekends away. Flexibility, I suppose it’s called. You must love all music, but have a true fetish for good ole fashioned rock ‘n roll. Having your own equipment is a plus! We’d like you to be a solid player who can bust out some blues runs or stick to the box depending on the song. But, if you sling your axe so it lands on your chest like you just came out of music school, this probably ain’t the outfit for you! Personality is a important…A.K.A. we want someone who actually has a personality and who isn’t afraid to show it onstage or off. Think Lemmy or Joe Buck Yourself on stage w/ Hank III. Though, it’s possibly impossible to find, uprights are welcome as long as you can work it electrified-like!

What do we not want?
Other than thee above, if you are close-minded or have no sense of wanderlust or mischievousness, again, probably not the group for you.

In case this all sounds bitchy, it’s my lengthy way of saying we are looking for a fun and interesting soul with a genuine love for getting out there! Get in touch.

Men or women. Please be under 35!


Post from cowardly local asshat:

Please be under 35!
???????????????????

let's see teresa, you're 34.
darby's 45
gavin's 46....

you're full of shit.


Post from me:

It's very sad that you do not have anything better to do than to verbally attack me on a public ad. Yes, I'm 34 and I'm looking for bassists under 35 due to the changing nature of long term plans. So what?!? I also enjoy my older band mates and it's a guideline. Bands change. How is this your business again? I hope you find some peace within yourself and with your own age. You obviously seem to think you know us. So, if you have a personal issue with me, step up and confront it like normal human being. The email address is attached to the original post and if you know our ages, I'm sure you know where I live. The door is open.

Great way to support local music!


So...any brave souls out there? LOL! Thanks for the help getting our true nature out there, local Asshat! Good to know our pebbles in the pond piss you off!
