On A Bus To Tulsa

by X3 on June 7 2005 in The Haps | Comments

Craig and I had a great Sunday at the peoples church speaking and showing the film Missionary Positions. At about 9pm Sunday evening we hopped on a bus going to Tulsa for the XXXchurch benefit golf fundraiser. Now this bus was no Greyhound, this was the tour bus for Audio Adrenaline who was gracious enough to allow us to tag along with them. They were going to be in the golf tournament and offered to let us come with them on the very long drive to Tulsa. Our friends from Gate Creative, JR and Rob, came along too. They are our new travel buds who make us laugh, encourage us, and basically keep us from screwing everything up. It was great hanging with Mark and Will from Audio and the guys from Flicker Records and Third Coast. We stayed up way too late talking and then got some very bad sleep in our tour bus bunks. It was the first time Craig and I had slept like this. We should of brought some Tylenol PM to help with the ZZZZZZZ's. Bouncing, braking, accelerating and turning corners seems to be a bad mix fo optimal sleeping conditions. Groggy, unshowered, and hungry the tour bus pulled up to the golf course at about 7am this morning. We made it just in time. It was an incredible time and a complete blast. Rob from Pillar, who put everything together, totally out did himself. What a great guy and an inspiration to both Craig and I. He is a great individual who has always been a huge supporter of what we do. He also is a killer golfer. In attendance were guys from the bands Mercy Me, Spoken, Disciple, Audio Adrenaline, Pillar, Travis Wyrick (producer for Pillar and POD) and bunch of other great golfers. Though we are not golfers by nature, we did take a few whacks at the ball when no one was looking. Our golf game is embarassing. Especially Craig's. Right now its 10pm and we are flying home. We are at 31,000 feet, sitting in coach, and looking forward to seeing our families. We loved our trip but we love our own beds too. We will sleep well tonight.
