I used to work with a band who had their own tour bus, and we'd spend weeks on this bus playing spoof after gigs til the wee small hours with lots of beer and ever increasingly outrageous forfeits. I remember we found a pair of weird pixie shoes on the bus one night which had belonged to a singer (who'd since quit) so the forfeit for spoof was the loser had to climb this massive tree the bus was parked next to in North Wales wearing nothing but the previous singer's pixie shoes, and call him from the top of the tree, and tell him that they were up a tree in wales wearing nothing but his pixie shoes. at 3am. No one wanted to lose.
I lost, so I duly stripped, got into the pixie shoes, and headed off to the tree. It was freezing as it was mid march, and also drizzling, so not your optimum 3am drunk and naked-but-for-pixie-shoes tree climbing conditions. I had to get a bunk up from the trombonist and ended up dangling my wet rubbish in his face. awkward.
i eventually got to the top of the tree, mobile phone between chattering teeth and called the singer (landline, not many people had mobiles in the early 90's). Disappointingly for the story his wife answered, and I had to explain why I was calling at such an hour, she was less than understanding.
My mate has a cracking picture of me though, perched atop this tree silhouetted by the moonlight, naked but for pixie shoes and mobile phone.
come on, I thought everyone had played this game? stories please
