Saturday, Sunday, & Today (w/pics!!!)

Saturday March 20, 2010

“I need you to wake up Liz.”

I opened my eyes and looked over at Mr.V. It was late Saturday night. He had been driving all day, from Dallas to San Antonio; then back, to get us to our gig with Escaping Gravity. (It’s true; Mr. V makes shit happen one way or another; even if it means sacrificing all of his time.) “Text Andy and tell him they need to watch out for black ice and it’s snowing,” he said; “Oh and can you grab one of those energy drinks from the back? Please and thank you.” I didn’t mind because I knew why he was waking me up. He was getting drowsy. Combine that with the freakish weather and it wasn’t the best condition for driving, especially alone.

I threw off my blanket, undid my seat belt and climbed into the backseat. It took me a few minutes to wake up and get my head back in the game. I ran my hands over shirts, bandanas, cuzis, and bags. Finally, I felt one of the little boxes of Venom energy drinks, tore it open with one hand, and pulled out one of the cans. I climbed back into the passenger seat; “Here you go,” and handed the can to Mr.V. I was still freezing from standing outside for our show in San Antonio. I grabbed the blanket off the floorboard and wrapped myself up in it. “Did you put your seatbelt back on?” he reminded me. “Oh yeah,” and I pulled the belt out, refastened it, then cocooned myself inside my blanket.

The sky outside was pitch black, but I could see the little pieces of ice coming toward the windshield, Star Wars style. “The boys are about 30 minutes behind us” he said.  I text Andy the message about the weather, then went back into staring at the falling ice. Gazing off into what felt like light years we traveled through to get back home, my speeding thoughts were able to catch up with my body, and I started to feel unified again.

Hypothermic; but together.

Fashion show with some of the free merch I scored from Venom for modeling in their promo @ San Antonio. (AKA: "This is what we do when the internets is out.")

Made it to Oklahoma. Met an amazing girl tonite, named Ashley, on the train. She could very well be my best friend Brandi, just from a different dimension. More on that tomorrow.
