Becoming the BAND!!! (long)
I have wanted to write a trip report for some time now but all of the "trips" I have taken were so hard to describe so I picked this last one since it was probley the best "trip"I have ever had and I can remember most all of it.
substances: 2 pills (red with OXOX) on them
weed
some tequilla
location: Jacksonville, FL warped tour
This report will be lengthy since I need to tell you about some of the stuff that happened prior to this to tell you what a FUCKING AWESOME DAY I had.
We got the pills on Sat night and it took everything I had not to take them right then and there but I knew I had a big day ahead of me and I didn't want to be dragging ass so off to bed we went.
It started out about 10:00am when we got to the Warped Tour. I am friends with the band Authority Zero and they were going to be one of the bands that were playing and me and my boyfriend we will call him "F" were going to be working there merchandise booth that day so we got free tix into the concert and press/VIP passes. Me and "F" decided that it would be a good idea to not take the pills until later that night when it wasn't 99 degrees outside since I have a BAD tendency that when I get hot I puke and my body temperture seems to have a real hard time regualting while I am rollin.
We hung out with the band all day and had a great time. I think during this time I must have drank about 4 of those MONSTER energy drinks. I felt like I could run 50 miles after drinking those. It was so hot that day ppl were falling out like flies. I kept thinking about those 2 lil pills in my purse and I was getting more and more anxious.
Around 6:30 "F" comes over and says that AZ is going to go on stage at 7:30 and NOW would be a good time to take em. So we go back in catering and scarf some water and off to the bathroom I go. Since starting doing E over a year ago I have always had problems with puking while doing it so I have found the cure DRAMANINE!!So In the bathroom I go...take a Dramanine and 1 pill and off I go.
When we get back to the booth it is like organized chaos everyone is trying to get over to the Maurice stage to see them so me and "F" head that way because I want to be right up front to see Jason (cutie-pie) and be able to take some pictures. When we get over there and hang out for a while I can start to feel the pill kick in. But its the part of the pill I hate SWEATY HANDS. It happens everytime the pill is good my hands will pour so much sweat that if I don't have something to wipe them on I will eventually wipe them on my shirt and it was so hot that it wasn't helping because my shirt was soaked.
Then I look up. There is Jason and he is getting ready to sing. He points over towards me and my friends and then throws a bunch of water on us. It felt so good. Prior to coming over to this stage I stopped and got a big cup of ice and I was taking the ice and rubbing it all over me because I was so hot. The back of my legs were dripping sweat.
They start to play and it is UNBELIEVABLE. I know all the songs and I sing (if you can call it that)at the top of my lungs. Its funny it seemed like the roll kicked in the minuted Jim started playing the drums.
They played for about 30 minutes and Rattlin' Bog was the best.
After the set was over we walked back over to there tent and passed out posters and stickers and chilled with the band. Jim the drummer asked me to hold his hat and I promptly put it on my head, and that is where that hat sat for the rest of the night. Around 9:00 after the cops made the crowds leave the band had to go. They were playing at the Warped Tour in NC the next day and they had a 8 hour drive so after saying our goodbyes and getting some cool schwag and pics (see below) me and "F" got in the car and had no idea where to go at 9:00 on a Sunday night in Jacksonville.
This is when "F" points out to me the hat. Oh no! I stole Jim's hat.
The first thing I do is locate the vicks inhaler and grab me a strawberry blowpop out of my purse. I pop open the mirror in my car and check out my eyes. My pupils are HUGE and I have this GIANT smile on my face.
"F" says lets goto Ceasars strip club. So off we go. He is rollin face too. But we somehow manage to get there and sit at a table. "F" proceeds to give me $10 in ones and off I go to tip the girls. I am rollin so hard right now that I had a hard time even getting the dollar in the girls garter. As I am walking back over to the table one of the strippers walks up to me and says "Nice hat" "Let me hold it" mind you I was not about to part with this hat for anything and I had to explain to her in a nice way that if she took my hat I would not be happy. (Im sure she didn't believe me since I had that stoopid E grin on my face!!!)
After hanging out there for about 45 min we remembered that there was a new bar that opened about 3 months ago and the previous week on Sunday we were there and there was this room called the "Blue Room" and while we were there I told "F" that it would be a cool place to come while we were rollin. On the way there we both took one more pill and smoked some weed.
So into Bourbon Street we go. When we get there it was dead I don't think there was more then 100 ppl in the whole club but that was fine with me. There is 5 clubs in one in this place and we spent most of the night hopping from one place to another. The Blue room was cool and such a cool place to chill if you were feeling overwhelmed with any of the other clubs.
Around 1:30 we walked over to Steudebakers and sat at the bar to get a drink. There was this bartender "B" working that we saw the weekend before. The minute she saw me she starts yelling "I have something for you" in a cute sing-song voice. She brought me a bouquet of blowpops tied together with this cool iridescent ribbon. I think that chick made my night.
We stayed at Bourbon Street until it closed then headed to my house. Me and "F" went up to my room and hung out on my roof and smoked some weed and talked about what a good time we had. We listened to music and talked until 6 am when he crashed.
This was one of the best times I have had on a roll. I strongly believe that the situation and the ppl around you have a definite effect on how your roll is going to go and how much fun you will have.
I hope everyone enjoyed my report.....I know I enjoyed living it!
