Schweaty Balls

Ok - not the fun treat from the infamous SNL skit, but last night I think I lost a pound of weight from sweating my arse off. My a cappella group had our semi-annual big show, and we showed up to the venue about 2 hours before the show. Keep in mind it was in the high 80s with 10000% humidity yesterday, and rain made it even stickier. We walk into an oven with 6 or so portable air conditioners like this one (unfortunately they didn't come with the lame guy in the picture). The bar never told us their air broke 2 WEEKS AGO, so the 13 of us sang in 90+ degree temperatures under stage lights, but managed to pull off one of our best shows ever. I think it helped that most of us chugged out of a Jack Daniels bottle about 1 minute before we got on stage. Kudos to our audience for sticking around, and shame on the club for not telling us. It's too bad for them b/c we brought them 140 people and a lot of drinks/business at a time when they're normally not even open.
