Best case - you've got a huge, comfortable tour-bus with someone else to drive it, and a road crew to take care of set-up and what-not. Go to bed late, sleep late, sound-check, hang out, rock-out. Worst case - you've got a van with 5-6 people into it instead of 9, plus a trailer for all your crap. You have to set up and tear down your crap, but no staging or PA, just instruments and amps. Show up, no sound check, rock-out, sell merch, and hit the road, probably the next morning. There are 5-6 people to be drivers, too. Man, that'd be easy, and I wouldn't ever have to work 40 hours a week in conjunction. It'd be like a vacation. Where do I sign up?

But who needs lots of money, food, and comfort anyways when you've got ROCK.

And if we have a buss, we will probably be towing a trailer. Do you do trailers? If you get a bus, make sure it is a comfy one, like the Borseth’s.
