Go team stink! Its day 5 (I think) and I have yet to take a shower. Seriously, venue showers give me the creeps. Since most of you already know that venues/clubs  somehow get away with having the most disgusting bathrooms in a public place, you should also know that their showers aren’t much better. Some have argued that gas stations have the potential to be worse but ultimately venues win, at least in the ladies room. The doors don’t  even lock half the time! Who likes to do a balancing pee squat while holding a door shut? Not me. But I digress, my point being their showers are just as bad as the bathrooms. Period.  I am not alone on Team Stink, myself and the other members (who shall remain nameless) are anxiously awaiting a nice hot shower.  Agh, my hair is drivin me nuts, it feels so gross! I have been using some “ghetto blast,” the waterless shampoo stuff that Chibi picked up. It works great but I think I still appear more greasy than I am.  Maybe that’s why my tip jar has been less than full? *shrug*

As the tour progresses we are all starting to get to know the other bands better.  I am starting to remember more names but still haven’t mastered them all.  Chad and Justin from I Am Ghost keep me company between their set while the merch tables are slow.  Overall the shows have had a small turnout, only about a 100 kids or so based on my estimate, but have had a lot of energy. The table business has remained constant and I have started to get 99%’s on all my tests!

I’ve been excessively tired the last two days, the bumpy bus ride overnight has made sleep a lot less restful . I end up taking naps during sound check and busting out 5 hr energy shots.  Ohhh 5 hour energy, how I love thee. If you haven’t tried this magic potion, you should. I was saving my last 3 bottles but today will require a boost for sure. I woke up at around noon and the bus was still moving, which confused the hell out of me. Typically we are done moving around 10am (I think)  and when you are in a bunk that’s pitch black and has no windows your concept of time is completely shot.  Ended up waking up around 1:30pm.

Being on a tour bus is like being at camp. I’ve never been to camp but I assume it would be a lot like this. Goofing around in your cabin before lights out. Then of course one person wants to sleep and everyone has to be quiet. Booooo…. That’s totally what happened  last night, but good times—good times.  A girl could get used to this :oD
