I'm in Biloxi, Mississippi today. Arrived last night after a flight
and a bus ride. We flew into New Orleans, so we saw much of the
devastation from Katrina that still hasn't been taken care of. We saw
a lot of abandoned homes and businesses, and even a temporary bridge.
It's pretty amazing that 3 years later you can still see the effects
of that storm. Unreal.
One event that is worth mentioning happened last night at one of the
bars in the casino. I was there with a couple guys from the band
having a drink when I met a couple local girls. They in turn
introduced me to a nice, elderly woman from Germany who they had met
earlier that day. Not too much later the German granny came running
over to us in histerics, saying that someone stole $500 out of her
purse. Apparently there was a guy who she was talking to that told
her he was down on his luck, so she gave him $60 to find a place to
sleep that night. After that, he was going through her purse "looking
for some gum" or something, and apparently that's when he found the
$500 and took it. Okay, so it was probably a bad idea to let a
strange guy go through her purse when she had $500 in there, but what
kind of guy do you have to be to take $500 from an old lady? I think
you pretty much go straight to hell for something like that. If
nothing else, that guy has a lot of bad karma heading his way. Good
thing we're only playing Biloxi for one night, because I don't wanna
be around when that guy gets struck by lightning, or spontaneously
combusts.
So we rock Biloxi tonight, and then bus it to Houston after the show.
I'm unfortunately missing out on a friend's bachelor party in Dallas
tonight, but that's how it goes sometimes. The upside is that I still
get to rock for a living... killer.
