That’s it. Bard alum are never allowed to play root again unless they graduated >10 years ago or have a note from their doctor saying they don’t have a inferiority complex or a gear fetish

#back in my day... #YOUR DAY WAS TWO YEARS AGO SHUT UP!!!!! #why do you only have a 1/8 inch to 1/8 inch TRS cable #you need an aux to 1/4 inch #ITS NEVER BEEN A PROBLEM BEFORE STOP SHOWING OFF #It's just always so plainly obvious with these types that they have never secured a gig without a substantial amount of (bard-adjacent) #connections but want to make current bard students THINK that they are some sort of big time hot shot artist #you played THE SCHOOL CAFETERIA last semester hot shot #slow your roll #and I always let it get to me! #every time! #because like them I am also insecure about my place in the imaginary music scene #as a venue manager and a technician #It's like they always go out of their way to not-so-subtly remind me that I am a STUDENT manager for a STUDENT venue and have a STUDENT'S #understanding of music tech #and barely even that #They need me to know my place because they have no idea what there's is #Playing at their former (barely) college venue brings up all these feelings about the trajectory of their professional careers and identity #as a musician and an artist #And they take alllllllll that insecurity #and put it into a big ol slimy bucket #and dump it on my FUCKING HEAD #and oh huh weird coincidence it's always cishet men how TOTALLY BIZARRE #I know the best response would be to shrug it off #oh we don't have the equipment you wanted #sorry we're DIY baby I do not know what you are talking about and I do not care #unfortunately i care A LOT #I CARE WAY TOO MUCH WHICH IS WHY THERE'S NOT GARBAGE PILED SO HIGH IN THE BATHROOM YOU CANT OPEN THE DOOR LIKE HOW IT WAS IN YOUR DAY #WHY ARE YOU EVEN HERE GO GET A GIG AT AVALON OR SOMETHING #I think I need to start carrying my clonopin around with me at all times
