My Brother's (Mis)Adventures

The Boys of Sally Boy

My brother and his friend are touring with Sally Boy*, a band they know, and Falling in December, a band they just met, all over the East Coast. My brother and his friend are making a video of the adventure. A guy from the band has been updating Sally Boy's blog throughout. Today's entry made me laugh hard enough to copy and paste a section of it here:

...we spent the night at Wal-Mart last night which was surprisingly comfortable given the circumstances. We tried to fire up Falling in December's grill, but Mr. Wal-Mart got mad at us so we wheeled it out to the sidewalk and tried to make burgers but we were impatient and now we all have salmonella or however you spell it. You get the idea...

So after eating some shitty burgers we curled up to sleep for a few hours, all the while keeping a watchful eye on all of the drug dealers, when we were woken up by EMT's who were trying to revive John, FID's drummer, who was having a diabetic attack and convulsing. He pulled through, which was good, because that would have really put a damper on things.

...after that we showered in [Niagra] Falls. I dropped the soap over the edge, though, so now the whole river is full of suds. All the fish are dead. I am wanted in the state of New York...

I can't wait to hear the rest of their story. Ahh, to be eighteen with a partially functioning car and nothing to do but roam the country causing trouble...

*Their myspace is really funny...all old pics and the only people who comment are girls.
