[David Kronenbourg]

My company had a watchlist of people who are likely to be problematic at the christmas party. one lad wasn't allowed go because he got too handsy with the girls last year

Surely he should have been fired last January

Its actually not a bad idea at all.
I doubt if you'd get many weddings though..and thats where the money is

Or would you...hmmmm.

Our drummer is also a wedding band drummer and they are often playing wedding expos and demo events to get their name out there. Also having a website and decent photos and videos goes along way.
They are almost booked essentially every Friday and Saturday nights for the next 6 months.

They are turning down work.
As long as you’re tight, learn a massive repertoire for requests, pushing a ‘theme’ and play along / put up with the occasional bride-Zilla you’d be printing the money.

There's also corporate dos and 21sts, 50ths and so on. It could be a real money spinner

Just as long as the punk scene doesn't find out you've sold out

as long as you never post about it on facebook they won't find out

So we just hired this new statistician, she's Korean, I think just out of her post doc and very quiet and proper. We have this cuban JS coder who bought... well, something that looked not totally unlike a lady pleasuring device in the shape of an anthropomorphic head of corn for the Santy blind gift thing. Of course shy new Korean woman picks the very dubious looking corncob thing and opens it in front of everyone.

To be fair she held it together well when she was standing up with us all looking on at her. Seemingly she didn't handle it quite so well afterwards. No one in my building has seen her since.

I've been to this christmas party before. I didn't do any gifts. I did bring some food which I'd put ghost chilis into though, for the potluck.

Lyric-wise you'll probably get away with knowing just the first verse and a half and the chorus
