Roadie Blog, Week 4, Fast Fuel

It's not a tropical vacation for us like I had hoped. We've rolled into Dallas from Oakland. I took some pictures through the bus windows of the sun setting through low slung clouds under a blue sky. The clouds were streaked purple, pink and orange and as tired as I am it made me smile and think of those songs about being under the big Texas sky. + READ MORE

Roadie Blog, Week 3, Trash Talkin'

Today we're in Oakland, just across the bay from San Francisco. It's definitely on between the teams. It's everyone's day off and Luda's team avenged themselves by sending Tommy's out on a fake challenge. While Willie barbecues in front of the bus Tommy's team is out lighting up the East Bay with CFL light bulbs. These are light bulbs that burn longer and a lot more efficiently than regular incandescent bulbs. I like how this green stuff is not just good for the environment, it also saves you a lot of money. Once I get off the road and settle down somewhere I am going to use all of this stuff I'm learning to save a lot of cash. + READ MORE
