Medical bill for tripping over chord and breaking a leg: $2,000... ?

Back in 2001, I used to have two wireless setups for guitar so that my friends from work could come over and jam with me in the little bedroom I had set up.  Made it much easier!

The room:

And two of these!

That was a lot of screen real estate back then, ya?

Now I have to "settle" for a 40" in one room and a (new) 43" in another room... *Sigh...* ?

A Sweetwater cable $31. They call it ProCo Brand in the search and title. But the cables have Sweetwater on them.

Since I play one-nighters, I refrain from using wireless.

Years ago, I bought a wireless mic. We were playing at a yacht club, and in another room, they were holding a trivia contest. The problem was the house mic and my mic were on the same frequency, and as soon as they turned it on and started shouting “Testing”, we were playing a soft tune in the dinner set.

If our cable goes over an area where someone can trip on it, get out the blue tape.

The "fruit" are all percussion shakers.  I used to give them to my friend's kids to use (in another room) while we were jamming.  I just gave that bowl to a different friend a few months ago!  ?

This is what you can get away with when you don't have a few drunken band members to deal with! ?
