man, today has been some kind of crazy day. 4 days left til departure and a lot of loose ends. i am wanting to sit back and take a long, hot bath,but we are just not there yet. the toilet is being repaired and everyone is stuffing their rubbermaids. these are the days that will make us stronger. i am taking this time to thank the amazing support system we have found. winston is truly more than it seems as are we all. we haven't chosen an easy path here, but i never find myself lying on the couch watching jerry springer, complaining about my boring life as i eat dorritoes and waste away precious hours trying to figure out what should happen to me to make it all better. we will make it happen.
MARS MAN-HANDLES PIEDMONT LOCAL. NEW MOON ADDS TONE.
The Werewolf is confused by Mars and the full moon has turned him into a little wolf puppy. Awww, he sure is cute, and his little howl is too.
Werewolf says he still cant get used too the painfull transformations and as all of us frantically prepare it seems we too are painfully changing.
This doesnt mean that that's a bad thing, its only Angramainyu and Ahru Mazda fighting a battle of order and destruction.
The order is, what makes us comfortatable, guaranteed rythm, and all that we know. The destruction is what makes us comfortable, guaranteed rythm, and all we don't know.
Guess we should do like the Werewolf, and Howl.

Five days until launch: new moon and general uncertainty. The bus is mechanically solid, we're just lacking a few of the extras: power converters so that we can run the computer and charge batteries...and the bathroom. The musicians road equipment has been gathered and looked at; I don't know, seems like a lot of stuff to me. Remember, we've only got one large storage compartment for all the instruments and gear. The other compartment is for personal items. And, well, after squeezing all fourteen of us into the top, there's not a lot of room left for stuff in the cabin.

The crew list as of D-5:
Brandon Bigelow
John Blackburn
Teresa Blackburn
John Bryan
Gaby Cardall
Brian Daub
Frank Eaton
Andy Mabe
Jason Mecum
Marty Rogers
Liz Simmons
Blake Tesh
Haydee Thompson
Ed Ven

Oh, and the P.A. we were planning on taking? Blew up at the dress rehearsal last night.
