None of the flyers I posted around town seemed to be getting any attention, so I thought I'd advertise here.

Looking for members to join a 3 piece punk band. I've got lead guitar down, just need a drummer and bassist. Name's already picked out: White Silk Chinchillas. Totally non-negotiable. Hit me up.

	Woah. Hold on there, brother. I'm just a radio personality. I don't have much connection but I can get you heard at the shittiest hours of the night. I like to play local bands. Gets their foot in the door. I know how hard the music scene is. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	Radio? You're that LOCCENT guy, aren't you? Dude, your station is the only one the lab picks up at that hour. Hey, you play guitar, right? Ever tried bass? It's basically the same thing, just with less strings. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	I am indeed that LOCCENT guy. Yeah, guitar is just a hobby now. My hours are too crazy to pick that up again. Maybe you can come by and jam sometime though. You said you work in a lab? (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	Aww, that's a shame. You're pretty good, if I'm remembering correctly. You don't really play the music I'm into, but you're good. If you've ever got extra time on your hands, you should seriously try to pick it up full time. I do work in a lab. I'm in the biochemistry department at UC Irvine. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	Not good enough to go pro but I could play a mean flamenco if I do say so myself. Thanks. Sounds great. I was thinking about getting into engineering when, well, life happened. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	Engineering, huh? One of my PhDs is in that. What branch of engineering? Maybe I can still hook you up? Or at least give you some old text books if you still wanna study up on it. I kept everything, but I don't really use the material anymore. It's sorta all up in my noggin. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	You are the eager one. If I ever get back into the groove I'll give you a ring. Sounds like a decent plan. Didn't get to far into the educational track. It's one of the reasons I tell the students I sub for to stay in school, as flawed as the educational system can be. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	Oh, you sub? Ack. What grade? I don't really like teaching. I mean, I'm a professor, but really only because they won't let me do only research. I'd drop it in a heart beat if I could. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	I sub high school and elementary school. It's actually pretty fun. Subbing it a hell of a lot easier then teaching, my man. I don't think I could do it every day. I don't care how much I like kids. Large numbers of them can be intimidating. That's why I bring my guitar. They seem to like it when I play music. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	Elementary school kids are pretty similar to college kids, then. Only I'm not allowed to bring in my six-string to keep them from getting distracted in biology. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	Just throw a nude in the background of notes like my psych professor did once. Bet that'll wake em up. (Reply to this) (Parent)
