Funny you should ask! Up until this past Sunday morning I would have said "I can't even remember the last time, etc..." ...but then it happened. I'm a musician (bassist, specifically) and I have a church that I regularly play at. This church is very into production/lighting and all of that fun stuff, and a typical service has at least a couple hundred people in the audience. The service this past Sunday called for the band to leave the stage while all of the lights were out. A perfectly safe idea, don't you think? Anyway, I had played a gig the night before and had gotten a total of 3 hours of sleep MAYBE. I was feeling a bit groggy, to say the least. As I was walking off stage I forgot about a monitor speaker in my path, and... BOOM. I slammed in to it knee-first, falling on top of it and cutting the crap out of my left pinkie finger in the process of catching myself. Ouch. My entire left kneecap is still black as I type.
The positive: it could have been a lot worse, and the lights were off, so no one in the congregation actually saw it.
The negative: As I crashed, I uttered an instinctual and rather loud expletive, which I'm pretty certain at least the front few rows of the congregation heard.
In the end all I can do is laugh and be thankful that it wasn't worse than it was... and post about it here!
