"can I help you officer" in Athens GA
in Athens GA so we have already traveled 7000 miles with the tags from a 1997 Saturn on the bus so I have gotten pretty comfortable with the fact no one is paying attention (except the Athens police) the gig is over I get the bus park in the road in front of the club then it starts pouring so I leave the bus with flashers on and wait for the rain to stop (cant load a 1800s bass with no case or a dulcimer in the rain) 20min later its still raining Tex comes to me "Greg there is a cop behind the bus" fuck here it goes damn glad Im not drunk I head out to talk to the cop just as I walk up to the car I hear "well that plate is on this school bus" fuck fuck fuck and we just found out there is enough money to get to the next town I ask the cop can I help you he asks whos bus that is I tell him Warren Hearnes like maybe he has heard of him or something well he hadnt and now wants me to get Warren (last I saw him he was half drunk and sleeping on a sofa in the club) well thats just where he was I try and wake him he waves his hand and tells me "no" I try again noticing the cop is just outside the club with Tex and Sarah again I try and wake Warren telling him "the cops are outside they want to talk to you remember the plan stick to the story fuck man wake up" response "no you are fucking with me" again hand waving me away after several more times I just grab him and sit him up and point out the window at the cop "fuck Im going to jail in Athens" Warren proclaims so we head outside the cop ask for registration off the bus to see what to show him ooo lets see nope cant show the title its not in his name nope the inspection paperwork has some other tag .. ahhh here we go this proof of insurance that Warren spent and hour making is the only thing we can show him Warren heads off the bus first hands the cop the insurance says something and goes inside so I am standing there with this cop waiting and waiting Sarah notices I am outside with the cop and has heard I am not good with cops so she comes out to give and academy award winning performance I realizing Warren very well may have run out the back door of the club decide to ask the cop "whats going on" he tells me that the plates on the bus are registered to a woman and for a 1997 Saturn here is where Sarah starts her performance her voice gets a little more southern and she says " o yeah Ladonna" the cop looks at his paper in shock and says "yeah Ladonna" "they mixed up the plates" Sarah says I chime in "wow we have been 7000 miles and havnt had a problem" at this time Warren shows back up and Tex Sarah and I explain that him and Ladonna mixed up the plates and that she is driving around with bus plates on her Saturn looking o so surprised we all look to the cop to see if he is eating the shit we are feeding I still am not sure if A. he bought the story or B. impounding a giant bus and hauling in Warren was just too much trouble for the evening so he hands the fake insurance and tells us to get the bus plate .. incase of any future encounters with the law Warren offers to have the registration faxed he declines and sends us on our way
