a true bonding experience

what a week!!!!

five monkeyshyne shows in seven days makes for fun, yet tiring times. not gonna go through all of it, except for the wichita falls show, in which i had a chance to do some bonding, female and otherwise.

ok, before the gay jokes begin (KEITH), the otherwise refers to the one and only Run-Run the Magic Bus. yes, Run-Run, that great American piece of.... machinery that provides monkeyshyne with the "safe" transportation to and from each gig.

well, for the first time since i began working for the band, back in March, i got to drive Run-Run, all the way home from WF. and let me tell you, that was an experience.

for starters, there is no radio. a band's van with NO TUNES. which normally is ok, cuz we are all talking, making fun of each other, handing out random gay jokes and whatever else. but, last night two members of the band, who shall remain nameless, passed out RATHER quickly for reasons i bet you can guess. another member didnt even come back with us and the fourth member had an early morning drive saturday so he went to sleep.

so there i was, a red bull, some copenhagen and a rockstar energy drink. hard to get to any of those, however, as every time you take a hand of the steering wheel the van starts moving all over the road. yeah, the steering is an issue as well, along with the brakes, the a/c and of course, the smell. haha.

but, having said all that, Run-Run and i have officially bonded and i have been told i am now, more than ever, officially a part of the band. so hear's to rock and roll and black and white sweet runnin' vans.
