We played a gig in Eau Claire one night and we showed up early to do a sound check. The sound guy seemed pretty flustered, but he got through the sound check ok, and told us he would be back at show time.
When show time came around, unfortunately, the sound guy didn't. So we mixed for the first band and also took bets from the audience on what happened to the sound guy. I think we made about $40. Whoever guessed right won the money. People guessed everything except what actually happened.
Weeks later, we found out that he went home and had a nervous breakdown. He said he was sorry, but he just couldn't handle it that night. I guess Puafua was the straw that broke the sound guy's will. We were a hard group to mix for.
