Story #1 Tech Support (Zachary Walls Version)


(Note: this is a story that other people in this class are involved in, as such there will be two separate versions of this story each with different details and views as everyone sees and remembers things differently.)

On a Saturday Anthony was staying at my house because it was closer to his work. We stayed up until about 3a.m playing two different xboxes on two different tvs next to each other before he decided it was time for him to sleep. We got out the air mattress and found it had no batteries for the pump so Anthony decided to spend the next hour and a half trying to blow it up by hand. Still playing my xbox and ignoring his whining about the lack of batteries i didn't notice when he took out his phone and started calling people. He called Evett and shouted Tech support over and over into the phone because the pump wouldn't work. Evett got angry and hung up after she realized he was just being weird. a few minutes later Evett logged on most likely due to being unable to sleep and Anthony spammed her with requests for tech support until she either logged off or blocked him. Anthony eventually gave up and slept on his partially inflated air mattress and I had to hold his phone for him so he would stop randomly dialing people as he did manage to get a hold of and wake up one more person as well as fail to reach 4 other people before I took the phone away. It was a strange night morning.

Story #1: Life in a Band

Ever since I was in first grade, I have been in love with musical performance. From the moment I stepped foot on stage in front of an audience, the rush of adrenaline has been an addiction.

In sixth grade, I met Fawn, my current best friend.  Like me, she shared the same passion for creating music and wanted desperately to find an outlet for such creativity.  I had since graduated from singing Christmas carols in the school choir and wanted to form something different; preferably a punk rock band.

Fawn and I agreed to begin working together to write songs and lyrics.  I decided to take up bass guitar while she began playing electric. We used a keyboard as a "drum machine".  After recording tons of terrible demos and playing acoustic shows at outdated coffee houses, we decided to find a real drummer.

We set out on a wild goose hunt for the perfect drummer. We made signs and hung them all over the neighborhood in hopes of a reply.  Over a month of waiting, there was still no answer.

While spending time with my other friend Ariel, also known as "Bean", I accidently discovered that she was pretty good at drumming.  We were hanging out in her house listening to music when all of a sudden, she started tapping to the beat of the song at perfect rhythm.  I quickly raced into her kitchen and grabbed a few pots and pans and two wooden spoons.  From there on, we had a brand new drummer.

After countless hours of practice, "The Expensives" were born.  This all girl, pop-punk band from Philadelphia began making headlines all over the city and playing several shows at venues including The Trocadero and Hangar 84 in Vineland, New Jersey. 

My love of music has lead me down a road of constant hustle and bustle.  However, I would not trade it for the world.  Despite a few line up changes, The Expensives are still going strong. Whether I am scrambling to sell tickets for a show, or reasoning with the police over loud noise complaints from the neighbors, my band means everything to me, and I plan on doing this for the rest of my life.
