The band road trip was chalk full of things to write about. Some good, some bad, some involving crazy bus driver antics (at least one car was run off the road and another had its front end totally rearranged), some involving duck-duck-goose and a violent game of red rover (I made someone bleed with my charge), some had to do with haunted housing (it can TO be a verb) in downtown K.C., some involving kneeing KU fans when they tried to cut through the band.
Is it bad I wished there would have been a small, quiet riot so I would have gotten to elbow a few more people?
Probably...
Anyway, throughout the trip I recorded funny comments whenever I heard something good and had pen and paper close at hand. Meaning these comments are pretty much exclusively recorded on the bus.
Enjoy.
