white lightning

ok so we went to the

studio.jpg

this weekend and had quite a little adventure.

whilst preparing to do a take on reaching i believe, i am sitting in my little room looking out when I hear “AAAAAH”, the light flickers, there is much commotion in the room- I can’t see now because the lights have went out, I feel a slight shock in my ear from my headphones before i throw them away from me and its plain to see (or lack thereof seeing) we have lost power due to the thunder storm we had just been watching (didn’t seem as cool at this point as it had previously).  sensing the intensity in the lower room I run down there; and to my disbelief guitars are thrown, blood pressure is high, and chris just had some sort of seizure.  seems that the nearby electricity pole that got struck sent a wave of electricity to the studio which happened to jump from chris’ amp or the wall to him and out his belly.  see below exit wound.

gary got burns on his finger (possibly jumped to him from chris’ belly- the world may never know) doug felt like he had put his finger in a socket and ben just had the good ol jolt of seeing your brother get electrocuted before your eyes.  still not a soul can figure out how the guitars flew off, I mean they did have straps on. (not strap-ons on you dirties)

anywhoo it was one for the scrapbook.  you never know what might happen at juniors motel.
