A Day That Will Live In Infamy
In a rare and unexpected turn of events, the entire production crew for the band 'The Delayed Soundcheck' arrived on time for their 8:00 AM call time this morning. This unprecedented occurrence has left the tour manager, known only as 'Mr. Perpetually Rolling Eyes,' both pleased and bewildered.
"I mean, it's great and all," Mr. Eyes commented while checking his watch suspiciously. "But now I have to deal with the existential dread of what else could go right today."
Mac 'Ears' Phillips: The Hero We Never Expected
Particularly shocking was the timely arrival of Audio Guy Mac "Ears" Phillips, who is notorious for showing up just in time to plug in the last cable before the show starts. Known for his acute sense of hearing but complete inability to hear an alarm clock, Phillips' punctuality was nothing short of miraculous.
"I usually rely on the vibrations of my phone under my pillow," Phillips explained. "But last night, I actually set an old-fashioned wind-up alarm clock... and then slept through it. Turns out, I was already awake, just couldn't figure out why."
A Night of Excess and Miracles
Adding to the improbability, several crew members were reportedly seen out late last night, celebrating what they called "Thursday." Sources reveal that the celebration included classic crew pastimes such as debating the superiority of LED versus tungsten lights while consuming significant volumes of "caffeine-infused beverages" (definitely not coffee).
Crew member Dave "The Cable Whisperer" was spotted at the local 24-hour diner with a plate of pancakes at 3:00 AM, discussing the merits of XLR cables versus TRS with the waitress, who was later seen taking notes.
A Future Full of Promptness?
While today's punctuality was a pleasant surprise, Mr. Eyes remains cautiously optimistic about the future, stating, "If they could do this every day, my life would be easier, but then I'd have to find something new to complain about."
In a show of solidarity, the band has decided to start today's soundcheck with a new song titled "Time Flies When You're Not Late," a fitting anthem for this momentous occasion. As the crew prepared their gear, the sense of disbelief lingered in the air, much like Mac's infamous post-coffee breath.
In conclusion, while today may be an anomaly, it serves as a reminder that miracles can happen even in the world of live production, where time is usually as fluid as the coffee that fuels it.
