My understanding of this silly contest is that I should provide one true story and one false story. The following two tales are my entry in round one. One is a true story about an event in my life while the other starts out true but ends in a complete fabrication. Please try to guess which is the lie, and state which you think it is, when you review the post.
1. Three friends and I once drove five hours based on the news that Fishbone would be playing a free concert in Greeley Co. We didn't know exactly when or where the show was supposed to be, only that it was on a specific date. We arrived in Greeley and started randomly asking people where the show was. Getting frustrated that we might have driven all that way for nothing we decided to cook dinner. We took out the portable grill and hamburgers and then realized that we'd forgotten a spatula. We ended up using a hatchet, from the back of the car, to flip our burgers. While they were cooking a bum walked up to us and asked for a burger. We told him we'd give him two if he could find out where the show was. 5 minutes later he was able to tell us where it was as well as confirm that Fishbone would be playing.
Fishbone was phenomenal. The lead singer also played baritone sax and when he was done with the sax for a particular song he literally threw it, without really looking, across the stage to a roady that had to catch it. During one song the lead singer was on top of the crowd, well over fifty feet from stage, singing the whole time. A guy playing a little tiny trumpet type thingy had a dildo on the end of his cordless microphone so when he held it up all you could see was this giant dick pointed at you.
After the show Fishbone invited us to an after party. We partied with the band for a few hours until my friend Josh decided he could take no more. Unfortunately that meant we were done as well since it was his car. We drove five more hours to return home at just about 6 a.m. We were gone less than 24 hours.
2. We used to go to the ski resort that we snowboarded at before the season opened for free snowboarding. We'd take two cars, park one at the bottom, drive to the summit, and then board down. Lather rinse repeat. Sometimes, when we didn't have two cars at our disposal, we'd drive to the summit and just build a big ass jump.
One time we didn't take two cars, we found the hill to be covered in a sheet of the most perfect ice I've ever seen. They'd been trying to make snow but it had been really warm before a sudden cold snap. You seriously could have gone downhill ice skating on this shit. Being the intelligent high school kids that we were we went down on our boots, slipping and sliding until we were about halfway down the mountain and then realized that we had to go back up. It was an incredibly long hike up that day.
Sometimes if the moon was full, or nearly so, we'd wait until the ski slope closed and all the employees would be gone and we'd go sledding. One night, we arranged the cars, one at the bottom, and the other to the summit, grabbed our sleds and hit the hill. There was a full moon that night, so you could see pretty well, but a plastic sled hauls ass on a groomed ski slope. As we screamed our way down the hill, attaining hitherto unexplored speeds on a sled, trees flashing by as dark shadows, one of our group got pushed off course and smashed into a tree. I've rarely heard screams like his. Some of the group didn't know what'd happened so we sent someone after them so they could come help. We were still halfway up the mountain so there was really no choice but to continue the ride down. When we finally got him into town, to the ER, we were told that he'd broken four ribs and dislocated his shoulder. That particular friend never joined us on that adventure again.

WOO I knew that sounded like a true Fishbone tale. <3
Hey, you know that that means, B- Even though we've never met, we've both been in the company of the same guy. One degree of separation.. Cool.
You make it sound dirty but I agree that is an interesting thought. come to sconnyland and I'll buy you a beer.

Story one was the true story. My friends and I were invited to party with the band after handing them a demo tape of OUR band. As Ska brethern they invited us to come play. we did not get to stay long due to my friend sally.
We did do everything I talked about in story two as we were invincible young lads. The false part of that is the person getting destroyed. we all enjoyed those adventures without mishap. thanks for playing

Not necessarily. Alot of venues have curfews they are required to obey, backstage or not.

Sober high school kids do some pretty stupid shit Thorns. Insanely fun stupid shit. I've gone sledding on trashbags at Steamboat in CO. it was fantastic until we got kicked off the mountain. apparently Steamboat has staff around late into the night.

I'm gonna have to go with #1 as truth, and #2 as lie. NO one could be that stupid as to go sledding/skiing on an icy mountain rife with trees in pitch black nightfall.
Well, okay, maybe a few drunk frat guys.

none taken.
I thought about this for a while as I too wanted to spin out a tale of great magnitude but since one is supposed to be based on a true life occurance I had to match the level of audacity of each tale. Some of the more absurd stories from my life people around here may have heard. I will try harder next time big boy.
I would think you'd have the books (yes there are two of them) by friday.

i thought part of this competition was to spin these tales out... to really try and sell people on both of them being true. showcasing your ability to lie through an ability to write.
if i'm right about that, than these were kind of dry and boring. you just rattled them out as quick as you could and walked off.
no offense intended.
1.) lie
2.) truth

There was some shuffling to do and it took some time but the trip from bottom to summit took about ten minutes. sometimes we'd trade off driving duties and just shuttle.

2. lie - how would having two cars help?
so we didn't have to hike back up the mountain. I grew up in the black hills in SD, these were not the little tiny hills we have here in WI.

I'm going to go with one as the truth, because I WANT to believe it, and that sounds like Fishbone.

Two seems way more believable since being invited to an after party by a band rarely if ever happens. It would be cool if number one were true however.
