Hello! Welcome to our blog!
I know, who the fuck are we? We aren't important. We aren't special, but we do have a story. And this is where that story will be shared...in detail.
We are Jennifer and Amanda. Sisters from Missouri who travel the country going to rock concerts. We do it dirty (sleeping in the car, sponge bathing in Wal-Mart bathrooms, sweating uncontrollably in a stale, dark club every night...) but its fun and hopefully funny.
This all started through a mutual love for a band called Sick Puppies. One concert wasn't enough, so over the past 4 years we have spent the summers, and sometimes winters and falls.....hell, and springs, crossing the country to see them as many times possible. Other bands have been thrown into the mix over the years (HURT, Chevelle, etc) but mostly, our big road trips are reserved for good ole' SP.
This blog is just now being started because we have come to the realization that we have all of these funny stories and memories, but they are fading as time goes by and new memories glaze over the old. This is a place for us to document everything...good and bad. funny or sad.
We are headed out on a road trip next week to hit up some new places in the Northeast. We will be seeing SP 3 times over a course of 6 days. We will also be marking a huge accomplishment off of our bucket list but I can't talk it about it right now. The thing that is going to be so different about this road trip is that we are no longer naive and jaded about the industry we have gotten ourselves so wrapped up in. When this beautiful experience first began it was all nervous giggles and butterflies when the lead singer of the band looked our direction. Today, it is far from that. You could almost say that our feelings are more negative than positive these days. And this road trip is our test. Will we ever see SP again?
We'll let you know.
Countdown to take off: 3 days.

A&J, Please be safe out there. Please have a great time enjoying the sights together. I really do miss you both and share your sentiments about a particular group. Weird how that has happened, but alas it has for me. Would love to swap emails or texts with you both, if you care to chat more often. Hugs to you both, Carri from Oklahoma
ReplyDeleteCarri! We miss you both and miss the fun times we were able to have with you! Unfortunately, as much as we've tried to fight it, we don't feel "connected" (haha) to them in any way, shape, or form anymore. However, we don't feel like we can just leave it where we left off a year ago, so this trip is our personal little send off! We will definitely keep in touch and hope our paths cross soon!
