its friday the 4th of june, 5:00am and im wondering why in the world i agreed to this, k-rock and i have to get the car loaded and head over to the workshop of a company who we have just started doing some work for, we have to be there at 6:30 to leave for holyhead, to jump on the ferry to dublin, for a weekend of bocking work.
"im on a boat aaaaaaaand"
so we head over the water and take in the wonderful views of a home we never returned to (our fathers were Irish), and soon enough we are at the hotel, just next door to the venue
"hotels can be boring"
so soon enough its time for work, we have already seen the costumes we are gonna be working in, ive already done a backflip in it, and landing them sucked, but this being one of the biggest jobs k-rock and i have done so far, its not just a matter of sticking on a costume and going out, no no no, we had lyrca, AND MAKE UP to get on.......
"yes we were hot, sweaty and covered in black make up so we looked like rejects from 30 seconds to mars, or a very bad kiss cover band"
but we were working with a great team, one of the girls we worked with kept flashing us...
I had some fun with a "thing" i found
and k-rock was so popular he got a big hand and.....
i gave him a sharpie magnum tattoo.
so we had to get our game faces on and do what they paid us to do...
"k-rock working"
"me working"
and what a response we got, the crowd in the club loved us and i must have taken easily over 1000 pictures with different groups of people over the weekend while in costume, i got touched up left right and centre but hey, im ok with that
, one of the fuel girls put it on me, i obviously refused, but its always nice aint it
"us in the thick of it"
"this fuel girl wanted me
"
so all in all it was an epic weekend, we were taken to the job, put up in the premier inn for the weekend, with huge breakfasts, free drinks at the club after work and a ride home too, plus we must have done well as the company we done the work for offered us free guest passes to download a few days after we landed home, unfortunatly it was my youngests birthday party, and i love rage against the machine, but i love my kids more
"Ché's birthday"
"daddy bout to get whiplash"
