One Foot Down - solution
------------------------

The object of the game is to re-assemble the defunct "One Foot Down" band
tonight for a gig in Road's MoeHouse down-town.

The band consists of 5 members, now dispersed all over town:

Gizzard the singer manages an adult shop.
Slug the other singer perfects the art of masturbation.
Possum the drummer teaches music in a primary school.
Stoney the bass player is a complete drop-out.
Bone the guitar virtuoso is writing this computer-game.

They must all be found and told about the gig, and each of them
may have some different requirements.

First we collect useful items around the house:

Have you tried:

* recruiting Stoney, Possum or Bone prematurely?
* walking through the MoeHouse stage-door when closed?  locked?
* filling gas without permission?
* playing the drums?
* looking through the window - at home?  on Fantasy Island?
* eating the Cheetos?
* taking the Cheetos to the MoeHouse?
* giving other things to the clerks?
* cleaning the bathroom sink?
* turning on the shower?
* searching the toilet?
* completing the game with what you found there?
