Those bands did it entirely wrong

FINE! Probably the best one was a 2-week stint one of the bands did, back in 2004 maybe? So we had a huge van, 3 bands, and some wives/girlfriends for a trip that would take us from Chicago to Tijuana and back, with a bunch of stops in between. There is no way I can write about everything on that trip, some notable highlights:

Staying up for over 24 hours in Reno gambling and drinking...one of the guys passed out on a craps table...no one cared. Another guy won $1,000 in a slot machine and was too drunk to realize it...walked away without taking the money. I can't for the life of me remember what hotel we were staying in, but there was no one on the floor we were on but us, drunken races ensued. One of the guys ended up taking a toothless much older woman back to his room...in the morning when she left her son was sitting outside the room waiting for her (awful I know...I had nothing to do with that!)

Get to Vegas and stayed at the Motel 6 (broke bands, will shrug) A couple of the guys got into it and one got tossed through the window. We jetted out of there right quick

Lovely old Tijuana. One of my friends found a prostitute...halfway through a BinauralJam he finds out that she is in fact a he. So he got up and ran away, with she/he chasing him to get paid

Probably the best part of all this was that one of the bands on the tour was a Christian band...their lives will be forever ruined...and they'll never tour together again

They're actually the biggest band in the Chicago hardcore scene...which if you want to talk about 'making it'...this is exactly what Pete Wentz did before he sold out

Thought it may be cool to see him again before he heads out to the sands for tour #2

My most interesting road trip story involves a dead duck and a can of gas.

Years ago I took a road trip with a friend from NY to New Orleans for Mardi Gras. As I was driving through MIssissippi, he kept telling me to slow down because the cops in Mississippi love to give speeding tickets to folks with out of state plates on their way to Mardi Gras. What a weenie. I did not slow down, and I did not get a ticket. Oh, and he decides to tell me he doesn't drink anymore after we get to New Orleans. That's okay, I drank enough for both of us. Hey, at least I had a good time.

A buddy of mine used to drive from Indiana to South Carolina occasionally before he moved up here. One time he was on his way down there and got off the interstate and took some back roads through SC. He came over this hill and in the middle of the road was a flock of buzzards. He nailed them at about 65 mph, broke off his side mirror. The guy behind him started flashing his lights and they pulled off at a gas station. The guy got out and walked up to him to say "That... was... awesome!!"
