That pretty much sums it up, but like I said it's no picnic, it's hard work, but no one seems to understand that.
You are on the road for 8 hours a day. Arrive hours before doors to load in gear, sound check, then wait more hours to play. Exercise before the show, shower and shave to look your best. Don't forget to play every note right. After the show you sell your merch, meet new people and turn away girls because there is no time for lust or room to accidentally create a kid and ruin everything. .. at least right now. Get food at 2am, go to bed at 5am, wake up at 9am, drive 8 hours... repeat.
It's hard work, it's draining, but it's always worth the satisfaction of stage time. 23 hours out of the day will suck, but for that one hour, you forget about all that bothers you. Everything.

If I didn't have tickets to go see Motley Crue and Alice Cooper on Sunday, I'd be jumping on a train to watch you guys play.

I cannot believe this is happening. We hit the stage in 3 hours. About to tear it up. This is.... living the dream.

Are the tickets FREE? Do you know where we can get FREE tickets and a sponsor for trip expenses?
We will auction off a diary of our trip consisting of receipts of all our comp "expenses" Bound in paper from the free soap they give at motels.
ps Congratulations on the accomplishment and good luck with the endeavor.

I would not say free, but tickets can be a FREE cost if you help out or are a friend of mine.Originally Posted by sailsmen
Receipts are all accounted for, for Uncle Sam.... especially fuel.
Sponsors for bands are given out frequently by Monster Energy drink.
Nothing about this is free as much as it seems like it. Keeping soap and being lucky to find a shower... common. Very common.

Most of the larger truck stops have showers.
Excess in Moderation.
Sprinkles are for winners.
Honestly, I am afraid to take a shower at those places. I get a lot of nasty looks for having green hair... from truckers..I would rather find a different place than have my butt kicked.
Cheap hotels and splitting the bill are what's keeping us going. 10 bucks a pop for a 40 dollar room. Win.

Ah yes, a dream come true.
Maybe soap on a rope?

Yes sir!
Body wash is more forgiving.
