Full Service: Raw Deal for Smellman (see description for explanation)

In Houston, my bass drum kept sliding away from me. I offered anyone in the crowd $5 to jump the railing in the front row and sit on stage to hold my drum in place. Between the time it took me to say that and reach down for a drink of water, somebody had appeared, seated in front of my kick with his feet holding either side. As we started the song, I yelled "ARE YOU WITH THE VENUE??" He said "NO!, I JUMPED THE RAILING!" I said "COOL!!" After that song, security took him back out onto the floor and replaced him with two 45-lb plates. Bummer, but I met up with him later and made good on the reward.
