Catch-up
Ok so this last weekend the man had me working like a slave. Ok so maybe my job is pretty gravy but it is alot of time on your feet. We were out at Texas Motor Speedway for the big April NASCAR race. Clear Channel pays for four of us to camp in an RV on the infield right on turn one all weekend. We got out there Wedsnday night about 9 p.m. or so. We had to be awake and at the midway by 6:30 to set-up our gear. Thrusday was pretty tame not too many people at the speedway it was only qualifying for the BUSH series cars. Friday we had to be at the midway at 4:30am because we were doing a live broadcast with our morning show. One of the guests on the show was Stone Cold Steve Austin. I used to be quite a wrestling fan and it was pretty cool to meet the cat. Very nice guy as well, he stayed around for about 30 min to sign autographs for all the people that showed up to see him. Well Friday afternoon the sky started looking pretty nasty. The NASCAR officials went around to all the vendors on the midway and warned us of possible tornados and high winds and huge hail. They told us if the sirens went off to go to the designated shelters. Well I love...let me reinerate....I love thunder storms. So while everyone else is getting all worried I'm like a kid in a candy store constantly looking at the clouds above and listening to weather warnings. About 7pm or so we were all back at the RV on the infield listening to the weater reports and thinking about grilling up some steaks when the tornado sirens went off. Everyone took off running for the shelters. Well......everyone except the KZPS crew. We stood out side the RV staring at the clouds. After about 5 min or so we loaded up on cold beer and walked very casually across the infield to the shelters. When we got about halfway the NASCAR officials started screaming for us to run but we continued to casually walk to the shelter. When we got there I stood right outside the door and watched the clouds. The official made me go inside and then told me to stand right in front of the fucking window one foot from where I was standing outside. Yes sir I'm much safer here. Anyways the storm dropped alot of rain and some wind but nothing else and we went back to the RV and grilled up those steaks. Saturday night after we got off my boss and I sat in the RV and played guitar hero for 4 hours straight. Sunday I finally got to go home and was able to sleep in my own bed. The weekend was interesting from the work end. On the other end the boys played a show without me. It was very odd when I got a couple text messages that night saying why aren't you here, they just played my song and so on. So to get back at them I'm planning a solo peformance with time and location soon to come. Then I hear the boys came up with the brilliant idea for a reality TV show. I am the one that always come up with the brilliant ideas so I don't know how well this one will work out but we will see. Ok enough for now my fingers hurt from typing. Ok one more thing. Tommorow is 4/20 so to all of you fellow potheads.....HAPPY 4/20.
