Everyday is RockpartyLoveBliss

the-bus

NamasteSalaamSussreekallBonjour!!!! HappyBeautiful blessings to all of you! I trust your week has flown by and I am hoping you all have productive-plans-for-happiness for the coming weekend. :)
On tour, everyday is Saturday (and every night is, therefore, “Saturday Night”) boooyah! The shows are SOOOO FUN!
So sweaty. I mean, disgustingly sweaty. LOL! I’m actually *gasp* grateful for my SHORT hair!!!!!! It would be murder gettin that sweaty on stage everynight with that long hair. (Plus, with headbanging-or-antics, I often “ate” my hair during songs as it flipped into my gob all the time!)
The guys are definately beyond my expectations of “bandmates”. We are a TEAM and its like being in hockeycamp when you are a kid, y’know? Suffer together and triumph together. Its pretty cool. All eight of us. Like that tv show, “Eight is Enough” only different. LOL!
I’ve always been pretty lucky that way, as a bit of a “tomboy” (even though you+I know I’m a self-confessed “girlygirl” too: its probably written somewhere in Vedic Astrology, or Gemini stuff) True Band Team-stuff crosses all caste, creed, and gender boundaries. Everyone is equal, for the most part.

Perhaps, like most everything I think about, it has a bit of a Utopian sheen. Ever the positive grrl, I endeavour to seek the beauty in All Things.
But I sure as fuck don’t have to try hard to find beauty in rockshows. It finds ME! And it is a joyful experience (even though the setlist is ambitiously long and there are a lot of “screamo” songs for me…I am basically hoarse most hours of the day! LOL!)
But I am overwhelmed with gratitude for my effort+abilities every day. I still pinch myself.

Plus I’m surviving with bananas, oranges, pineapples, and HempBliss and Vega shakes. Just like home! I even found. gorgeous organic cherry tomatos! Yum!
The boys+crew have taken to making steaks for themselves on a barbeque they bust out from the busbays. Its. pretty funny, to me, so I had to take a picture and share with you (see above).
It is a Family Picnic everyday, and a supaflyfuckyeahRock-n-Roll partay everynight!
Wow!
Life is so neat. One day you’re in the hospital, and then-the next thing you know-you’re on TOUR! Om Nama Shivaya. And, the thing to remember is that life is like that.
You just NEVEREVER know what life will bring. So be happy. Have a barbeque (even try a VEGAN barbeque! Heh, heh..) And enjoy everyminute.
No matter what.
Blessings. Bliss. Lovenergy. Horns. Me. You. Them. Us. Bananas. Yay!
Om Sai Ram. Om Sai Love.

The Road, The Road, The Motherload….

on-the-ferry

Namaste! Sussreekall! Salaam!! Hey there, Beautifulwonderfulsuperbeautiful People! I am sending you all massive love-energy from the back of the rolling tourbus that became my transitory home over a week ago. A “non-smoking” bus that will not even tolerate my cherished Nag Champa incense, but honors the sweat-drenched musk of a rock-n-roll bunch of hooligans such as us. Gloriously beautiful!
My band boys make me laugh so much, I can’t even begin to tell you all the funny things they say+talk about. They are absolutely hysterical! Aint that grand?
Yeah…when its showtime, they are menacing. I often feel utterly insignificant beside them. But that is my nature, non? :)
I admire and look up to them. They help me so much by being so fucking cool. And, just so you know, the crew is immeasurably beautiful: The Diamond is my “Front-of-House Soundmaster”. He has dog-hearing (like Darr does). In fact, he’s Darr’s treasure. As is, The General-the “stage-manager”. He keeps order and peace+perfection with our show.
“Mel” is a superbeautiful guitarplayer-moonlighting-as-merchgrrrrl for us. She is beautiful, generous, and kind. Our “tourmanager” is Docks. She is brilliant, confident and a source of strength+security, as well as tres jolie! Our kind and confident driver is JP, safely transporting us from show-to-glorious show, every day.
Ahhhh, yes, My Lovebugs, the tour is a Team of Wonderfulness.
Then, there’s the show.
And YOU!!!!!
You are The Reason. The Purpose. The Gift. Fuck! You all are just so goshdarn amazing and give us all so much good, good energy and love. Thank you. You are the biggest part of every show. You are the treasure, THE REWARD!!!!!!!!! Om Nama Shivaya. So much gratitude and love from me to you!!!! And it grows and grows!
Keep checkin’ the dates as that list grows+grows, too!
I’m hangin in there and I feel pretty good considering my underslept ways. :)
The promoters are all lovely and provide my bananas and water and sometimes (though rarely) my prized HempBliss (lol!)
Yup. Life On the Road is pretty skookum(sp?) And everyday is auspicious and fun. I am veryvery grateful and feel fortunate every minute.
Big love. BIG love to you all! Sai Love! Sai Ram! Fuck YEEEEAAAAAAH!
Love and blessings,
Biffy

This is MY LIFE. The chief purpose of my tours is to make a LIFE: the greatest life conceivable. Like the teachings of Patanjali, tour is, for me, my principal channel of expression for mind and soul. And the physical machine is worthless unless it becomes the instrument of something greater-like SHOWS!
I am fucking thrilled.
Love it and love you guys! Om Nama Shivaya.
See you at the show, Yo! :D
Blessings, bliss, and Infinate Love,
Fuck yeah!
Love,
Biffy
