That would definitely be an improvement. Plus kids drink less nowadays, which would make our cables much less disgusting to wrap up at the end of the night. 😉

Afterwards, we'd go to whatever all-you-could-eat place we could find and make our one meal count.

We'd then play to either an empty bar in a town where no one had heard of us, or a packed frat basement until 2 AM and hope someone was around to invite us to crash.

We'd then go set up/soundcheck (I also ran sound) and have hours to kill. If the weather sucked we'd find a local $1 movie theater (those were a thing, ask your parents) and take naps to whatever horrible thing that was playing.

There was a wall of amps between us and the cab (and no cell phones) - so to get the driver's attention we would have to stick our arms out the side windows and wave them around hoping he would see and pull over (otherwise we'd have to pee in bottles we brought).
