  Have you tried suggesting that to the rest of the band members?

  actually our main problem is the drummer

  first, he doesn't wanna be a drummer... he wants to play guitar

  second, to keep him as a drummer, we choose songs that he likes to play

  so we're basically stuck in rock

  If the band's direction is currently being limited by the whims of the drummer, perhaps it's time to look for another drummer.

  Just sayin'.

  that's what we're doing, because this way he can go to guitar and be happy there.

  but decent / good drummers are hard to find

  like goalkeepers for football... everyone can kick the ball but no one can stand between the sticks.

  Amazing. You'd think that the organizers would have found a way to handle the crowds, given that they've been doing this for so many years now.

  DIY Bacon Pig
  http://warehouse.carlh.com/article_157/

  

  There you go. Oh, yeah, the hot dog is in a jar of hot water, thawing. As pointed out at the Superbowl party, this is going to be like a turducken of pork! A pork-pork-porken, if you will (I will).

  

  Meat is neat. I don't eat much meat, but when I do I make it count. Heck yeah. I took the pork hot dog, encased it in ground pork, and wrapped it in bacon. I crafted an amount for the head and even made little pork feet too!

  

  Here's the completed, unbaked bacon pig. Those are whole garlic cloves for the ears, and hot chili pepper pieces for the tail and eyes (didn't have anything curly on hand). Ohhh dang that looks dangerously delicious yet somehow cute. Actually, you know what? He kind of looks like Piglet from Winnie the Poog. Poog? Winnie the Pooh.

  After about 40 minutes in a 400ish degree oven (give or take; started at 350 and ending at 450 because we were running late) this is the result.

  

  Lovely! The browned garlic cloves kind of look like bull's horns now, but the bacon crisped up beautifully. The pork is cooked all the way through and the hot dog is nice and hot. It's perfect. Oh the smell is amazing - my car smells like bacon, now, by the way.

  

  Here's the first interior shot. Isn't that gorgeous? Bacon forms a perfect shell. A skin? A...pig skin? (football, pigskin, get it?) Of course it's greasy but no more than a big slice of breakfast sausage. Slicing it was really easy because of the crisp bacon and firm pork, and it was actually really good on rye bread.

  

  Here's the whole little fellow sliced and plated. The ears were delicious. I'm pleased at how well it went over at the party. Pretty cool looking huh? Actually if you wanted to make this but do it a little less creepy you could easily just make it a log - leave off the head and legs, and bake it on a tray so it drained a little better. The bacon wraps so well and it holds together perfectly. The pork slices clean, too.

  zero

  because we only know 1 other drummer and my lead guitarist isn't confident in him.

  and we wanna keep the band within our circle.

  so... we don't know of any other drummer.  actually there's one more, but he's working the london shift at barclays, hahaha~
