My Friday night at a Tool studio.
I went to a studio Friday night to help a friend get the internet up and running. Computer geek is one of my skill sets, anyway. This study is where some of Tool (the band) recorded there EP. The studio itself is full of crap and is dark, weird, and creepy.
What happened, I could not get a signal to one of the routers I was working on so I backtracked the wires to find the main router this process lead me to a the phone and I followed those wires.. basically found that I needed to get to an area I could not go at that time. However I did find hanging on the wall a nice pump action shotgun.
Being the curious person I am I picked up the shotgun to see if was even real. I mean who would keep a REAL shotgun just hanging around, literally. So just as I have it in my hand and looking at it a guy behind me, who I can't see is coming up to tell me something IMPORTANT. At the same time like a cartoon or a scene from Goonies this thin string/rope starts sliding up the wall and over the ceiling. The String is attached to a heavy metal chandelier with candles in it. Which comes sliding down full force and misses the guy's head that was coming up behind me by inches. Oh yeah he was coming to tell me the Shotgun was LOADED! Needless to say the event which happened in under a minute freaked me out. I had all these bad images of what if's about the gun plus almost crushing the guy behind me.
I left about 10 minutes later just yelling Fuck in my head over and over. I will not live it down and it will be known as the Tool shotgun story.
