i just wanna say that im happy to be alive. i had a fucking great day in london. went shopping went to co-op to hear dego and all the 4hero cats brag and play future shit that us mere mortals will never get our hands on for a sec.
had a great meal.
then discovered that the gryffindor bus (me and the techs bus---not the slytherin bus of riq and the rest of the band) has been totaled.
--actually this aint the first tragedy to happen on okayplayer (member when the equipment truck totaled in denver and all of our shit was spread out on the highway?)
--funny thing is in the 12 years i've had living on a tourbus i never had a worry of bus accidents. and in light of the gloria estefan 1990 mishap and the j5 accident of 98---i kinda felt real safe in a bus.
til this tour.
nightly keith and i would wake up on some "did he just hit the median?" shit.
so noid was i that i slept downstairs on the couch (europe has double decker buses like "spiceworld" the movie)
that said....keith said that the bus was totaled and had we been on it....
---shit i aint even going there.
im just glad to be here.

4. "Bandz Should Alwayz Have More Than One Driver" In response to Reply # 3
I have expressed thiz enough to bandz dat have came through my spot or have told me horror storiez like thiz. A few have actually decided ta make dat move & pay for a second driver but some people are too hardhead to do so.
being as though we utilized all 9 major bus companies in the states---i haven't heard of any accidents of this nature occuring on this level (metalica, j5 and gloria withstanding)---
it is customary for one driver to handle a trip and rarely does a situation occur that a show is booked so far away that the artist does not fly there as opposed to sit for a 20 hour ride.
he had a 2 day lead and by law drivers cant clock in over 8 hours in europe. so 2 drivers aren't needed because by law (and boy are they anal) they cannot drive more than 9 hours in a row.

35. "so, you're intuition was correct" In response to Reply # 14
I mean, look at it like this.. you've never felt scared in ALL the damn touring you've done. This one made you nervous and this one you slept downstairs and this one your adrenaline was pumping through your heart once a night on some.. 'this busdriver is gonna crash'.
and he did.
my girl says it's a planetary thing, mercury in retrograde.. with boys be especially intuitive. an example like this sways me towards believing her. I'm sorry he fell asleep. I'm glad he's okay. and i'm gladder you and K weren't anywhere near the bus. Hope you didn't lose anything that you can't live without.

I am always reminded of this by real villains who consider the idea of breaking in someplace, not stealing anything and then leaving behind a painting of your name in four foot high letters the most retarded thing they ever heard.
Remember crime against property is not real crime. People look at an oil painting and admire the use of brushstrokes to convey meaning. People look at a graffiti painting and admire the use of a drainpipe to gain access.

25. "Damn. "almost hitting median . . ."" In response to Reply # 0
Sounds like you had a concern that was quite justified. Take a deep breath, call the fam state-side, and then go buy a bottle of 1989 or 1990 Bordeaux. Take a long drink, by yourself, raise a glass to your good health, and then move on. If you haven't seen the flick "Sideways", its pretty funny. I highly recommend it.

obviously, you weren't in danger when it happened, but this is one of the first things that came to mind (that and the J5 crash ... i remember waiting for updates online and shit).
