This dude has been an alcoholic for some time and is now being erratic and hostile toward me. I'm pretty much staying the fuck away from him and I'll worry about getting my shit back later, and having someone else go get it at that. He has my drumset and some mics, as well as the amp in question of course, which he is now refusing to give up.
No I'm not going to do the court thing, although that would be AWESOME if I could get on The People's Court or something. Ain't worth the headache, I'd rather just walk away and cut my losses. I make enough cash now where the money thing doesn't matter, just the principle.
Lesson learned: don't buy shit for your band. Ugh.
