Albe's Road Trip update #3

I was awoken by flippers cellphone alarm at 9:45am. It sounded like a circus. after 18 minutes of dealing with the annoying tune, i decided to get up and fix the problem myself

At 10.38 the hotel manager called our room to tell us to be out by 11am. around 11:15 he strolled by and knocked on the door to have us leave. 25 minutes later we all were at the wendys(excluding negisaurus mike and flipper). after 10 BMXers had $3.18 meals we all rode back to the bus. We then sat at the bus for approximately 3 hrs while megatron and flipper took the broken tire to the local walmart for repair. Meanwhile, rusty found a toilet under the overpass, evan drank some beer, i busted out some short shorts, stevie and manny dissapeared, and baliss was a badass. Soon after stevie and manny got back flipper and negative got back with a brand new tire. We threw it back on and we were gonna GET BACK ON THE ROAD! ....so we thought.
As we were getting back onto the main road, rusty threw the toilet over the bridge onto a cement path. It was classic Rusty Keys style. We all ran back to the bus in a hurry. We started driving away and pass a white dually that apparently saw the flying commode. He then tried to get back on the highway and almost took out negative mike. After negative got back in front of him, we soon figured out that he was following us. we were on our way to wal-mart but soon made a quick exit to avoid "deputy dually". He also decided to turn around and get back behind us and onto the freeway. He was about 4 cars behind and negative was about 8 cars behind. Negg. was doing 105 to get back in front of "deputy dually" mike eventually slowed him down to 45mph so he couldn't catch up to the bus. the guys was all freaky kind of like the guy in that movie joyride with the truck that chases people down and kills them. but he must have been frustrated and got off an exit. After about 1/2 hour our nerves settled we were back to normal with no flats. :)

Soon enough some of the crew was getting hungry and we decided to stop at a truck stop. About 4 minutes of being in the store 3 buses full of 15 year old girls on a field trip showed up. kenny decided to chat with some of the prettier girls. "you guys have the nice bus, hell look at ours, the hood is up" kenny says. "What are you guys in a bus for?" "We are roadies for a band "Says kenny. "whats the name?" "Event Horizon" replies kenny. for some reason the completle retard of a a girl replies, "why are there so many people for your band?" Kenny thought quick with " they sell out CDs and Merchandise." That was the end of that conversation and Event Horizon now has a bunch of groupies. (you are welcome guys) Some C-low was going on next to the bus and apparently the word spread among the teenies and they were all on the sidewalk watching us "rockstars" gamble. After we aired up the tires we started to board the van. Of corse with 35 teenege girls there was some cheering and screaming for us as we go on. THIS IS NO JOKE, WE FELT LIKE THE BEATLES. So we got back on the road and started driving once again. Flipper wone 40 dollars in c-low.

We stopped at a gas station with an abandon hotel next door. I immediately think "empty pool." Well, there was a pool behind the hotel, but is was full of murky water. We broke windows and someone found a 12 inch bike in the dumpster. I hopped in neg's car and drove until we got into florida to the welcome center. I dont know what happened on the bus so i am not going to discribe it. "Manny was being his himself and rusty slugged him in the ear" i am told. We stopped at the florida sign and took a picture. I heared at this time that manny was only going to be with us until miami and he was going to stay at his relitives in florida. We boarded back into cars and drove off. Next stop was applebees. We ate food and fake IDs were in the house. (***Albes dosnt promote underage drinking.) I made the waitress question the legallity of our IDs and she freaked out. I told her i was joking and I assured her a nice tip and she all of the sudden was allright with me. While we were eating there was constant manny drama going on behind the scenes. At first it was Manny was going to go the the greyhound station. All of the sudden we were out of the restaurant and Manny decided to have us leave him in front of the place.... So we unloaded his things and last we saw, he was sitting on the bench in front of the Applebees. Best of luck, Manny.
See you on Cops.

Squirrel took the wheel from here on. We were one BMXer short and spirits were high(really). The radio crackled, and we ended up in daytona and found ron thomas. After checking into the hotel we IMMEDIATELY aquired shady broads for the hotel. Kenny is a magnet for mediocre chicks (no offense kenny's girl). After the short shorts came out with the bon jovi shirt, people we jumping off the balocny and planty of camera flashes strobing. DJ Wild and Justin Bayliss shaded off and rode some street. A few little things here and there, nothing special. Soon enough the first 2 girls despaired and 2 new ones showed up with some dude. They pretty much said they were floozies, but werent into being floozies. what does that mean?? A few free beers later and Ron thomas tried to talk me into peeing on an air conditioner, and i didnt but i thought about it. Neg. got threatened by "Im with them" guy. Bad idea. there were 14 Other BMXers ready to beat that guy at any momment if he caused a problem. We came back to the room and i started this update about an hour ago. Just as im wrapping this up, now Jace walked into the room with shady girl #2 (kendra) and i going to bed for the night. sorry about all the typos and crap...it's 5:30 am and i'm BEAT!. Random photos from the past day are below.
