Random story from the Road:

We were on our way from dallas to houston when we were nicely notified by another vehicle that we had a flat on our trailer.We pull over to check it out and the whole thing was trash, even the rim. Dale got the spare on and it had no air in it, we had to cruise at 20mphs for about 3 miles to air it up. Well we asked for donations at the show and came up with over sixty bucks.

What would you be doing if you weren't in Powderburn?

Drinking around the BBQ pit eating stuffed jalapeno's

 Robert doesn’t know it yet but he’ll hate his life in a few years, however right now he’s the newest edition to the crew and is doing a bang up job. Putting up with a bunch of dudes who are working too hard for no money is not for everyone but Rob rolls with the punches. I hope he stays around for years to come.

Greg

 Rob is the newest addition to our crew. A longtime friend of ours he’s been a lot of help so far. We’ve sent him to the land of misfit toys, I mean, to be Pat’s drum Tech for now. But as he gets a little more used to how things flow he’s gonna really become our bitch.

Pat

 My drum tech and right-hand man. This guy is the one slamming Budweiser at one in the afternoon, hitting on the girls, and still doing his job with accuracy and panache. Although, I actually don’t know who started calling him “Big Shot Bob’. I’ll have to get to the bottom of this. No one names my property . . .I mean . . .my drum tech . . . without my permission.

Eric

 Quite dick

MMMM… Bob…  I love bob… my cuddle mate..
