Are You Ready???

Well, The vacation is over. It was much needed. You never really can spend too much time in a heated roof to pool. Last night was the first show of the tour. I spent the entire day in a 6 X 6 room trying to dial in some tolerable guitar tones. (good thing I love my job or I may have killed someone) Everything was a mess, nothing that we ordered was right, we didn’t even get to go on the stage until it was our turn to play. But somehow we pulled it off. The kids loved it. There really weren’t as many people there as I had expected there would be but lets be honest people, this tour isn’t taking place in 1998. I am now sitting in seat 24 C on the 3.5 hour flight from Perth to Adelaide. Someone made the great decision of sitting all the bands on the tour together on the back of this plane. It is amazing. Let me paint a picture for you. Row 21 – Biohazard sitting around telling poop jokes and poop stories with the guitar player from bloodsimple at full volume for all to hear during the emergency preparation announcement. After takeoff I glance forward to catch a view that was truly unexpected. Evan from Biohazard just watching full screen pornography of himself and his wife (Tara Patrick) on his laptop. The woman sitting next to him looks less then amused but also too terrified to say anything. Behind them throwdown is quietly sitting enjoying the sounds of the movie Mr. Woodcock. Dude in from of me might as well be sitting on my lap he is reclining so hard. Ohh and the same guitar player from bloodsimple just spilled his entire beer that he received way before anyone else on the plane somehow. To the left of me is 8th wonder of the world. The 280 lbs human known as Brian Lareau (chimaira’s lighting guy). His side fat is just spilling over the armrest and onto my thigh, arm, and side. The entire left side of my body is soaking in sweat from the heat that is radiating from this human. Oh yeah and not to mention that the members of korn are up in first class. I haven’t had any interaction with them yet but they seem to be surprisingly approachable/nice dudes. It is really surreal to see this dudes just always where I am. Drink cart is coming – got to go!!!
