Thursday, November 12, 2009 
So I woke up to a very disconcerting feeling....all sorts of glass breaking and the feeling that we were tipping over. Cuz, I guess....we were!
The bus went off the road. I am assuming the driver fell asleep.  He told the first person out to the front lounge that he stopped to go pee and misjudged the side of the road, but then told my tour manager that he avoided a car that was oncoming and had crossed the median.  Either way, its been a long night, not gonna lie, I'm a little miffed. Takes a lot to get me upset.  Its generally a pretty big love fest out here for me.  I have only slept an hour and a half, and you know, my safety was compromised. The safety thing- pretty big for me.  I am a mama of 3 kids.  Its funny.... I have hit the bottom of my spinal tap ceiling!  You see, everything entertainment biz makes me laugh- spinal tap pops to mind in every awkward or challenging or ridiculous moment of the music business for me.  I can pull out my spinal tap reference at almost any moment, anywhere, anytime. BUT this is the first time.....I know it should be the ultimate Spinal Tap moment, (randy taped the tow truck pulling the bus out, will post shortly) but I am somehow not able to just have a giggle.
Maybe when I have gotten some sleep.
New busdriver is a must. Once something like this happens, no one feels safe again with that driver. I know. Sucks.  Ah the joys of the road.
Gonna try to sleep some.
What next?

Hey CK,

Glad you're OK, disconcerted feelings aside. Seems like a pretty normal reaction if you ask me...not really a laughing matter at the time, perhaps after a few days.

Gonna have to rent Spinal Tap...

Gosh, sorry to hear about this incident and that it caused you to get so upset, understandably so.
It sounds like you are okay otherwise?  I hope?  That is a blessing...

Would love to hear about some of your fave Spinal Tap music biz moments sometime!

glad everyone's ok and for sure momma, how can any nof you sleep again with that driver at the wheel... it's better to admit your tired than compromise everyone's safety. how are you sleeping now, and did you find a replacement? hopefully, um, he doesn't read your blogs :)    rest easy.

When I read your post I thought of Buddy Holly, The Big Bopper and Richie Valens!!!! The day the music died. To tell you the truth it would have been that day for me. Talk this out with someone, it will help. I'm so sorry to hear what happened. The angels must have been looking after you.

Hey! I know that safety feeling all too well. When I'm in the car with my Lucas, I constantly worry for him. Your whole life changes when you have kids.
Thank goodness you're okay. Enjoy the rest of your tour. I still hope you'll make it to Houston some day. Saw Raine at the H.O.B in Houston, and I kept thinking how great it would be to hear you too.
Take care.
xx
