Before wi-fi...

[Corabar Entertainment]

It's been mentioned on here recently about everyone logging in to the forum / FB / wherever whilst at a gig while the background music is on, or whilst you're waiting, but what did you all do before we all had access to the internet from just about anywhere?

Twiddle your thumbs?
Catch up on your reading?
Go and find a quiet corner and catch up on your sleep?
What?

[Corabar Steve]

Eat, sleep, fart, read, explore, or any combination of the above

I never have it on my laptop. I will do the odd update on my iphone on facebook but nothing more than that.

I use to and still do move myself away from the rig during background music however still within earshot. Will grab myself a pepsi if a bar is near by.

Play games on the phone...or read :)

I used to listen to music on the headphones actually (obviously not what was playing at the time :p)

Yes but as I said I don't use it now so has made no difference to what I do.

Yes, but all you've said is that you'll maybe grab a pepsi.....

Read generally...still do. Used to be the paper or a book, now its something far more boring for my day job.

i didnt have a laptop before wifi. So never really been without apart from venues where you cant get it. I didnt really do anything before wifi cant remember anyway

Well I might be taking a leaf out of Peters book here but if I'm paying more than 2 quid for a pepsi, I'm gonna milk it :daft:

You still do that :P

I used to be busy working/mixing etc before wi-fi as back then you didn't have time to do anything else lol

I'm in the same boat as Neil - I'll probably have a play on FB and/or Twitter with my rubbish useless blackberry phone - I don't use the Macbook for anything other than the music.

:lol:

I used to (and still do) go and find the kitchens, grab a dinner and chat up the bar staff, or persuade the function manager to book some extra events :)
