Well folks it’s time for another installment of Await Rescue’s 2009 Summer Tour blog: Tampa and Miami, FL!

But we decided rather than just having you read about the glory and see the pics we’ve allowed to slip up through the cracks to the internet, we figured we’d let you take part in the tour for yourselves. As if you were actually there.

You all know what a mad lib is, right?

No?

Well, it’s easy ….we wrote up the whole blog in it’s entirety with no details spared (even the horrible truths we’ve vowed to never reveal, at least not on the internet) ….

And then we deleted all of them…

And you get to replace them with the details conjured up by your very own filthy, foul imaginations, thus writing our Tampa and Miami blog for us.

If the blank detail asks for a noun, put a noun in there ….anything you want or think may very well have been the case. You could very well be right. Same for adjectives, verbs, etc. Get creative with it.

We’ve posted the whole thing right here for you. Just copy and paste it into a Word doc if you want , fill it in however you please (be gentle) and then email it back to us at awaitrescue@yahoo.com (or repost it as a reply right here on our WordPress blog page if you want .)

The best and most hilarious ones will make it online somewhere ( either here or on facebook most likely) and our Tour,  AS WRITTEN BY YOU … will forever live in infamy. Just as we planned it.

Get on it!


So, we hit the road again as early as possible and carry on towards Tampa. Only 9 hours away. A few stops for nourishment ( noun and noun sandwiches) and play (throwing our  noun(s) everywhere) made it more like a ten hour drive, but never-the-less we chugged into Tampa Florida: the home of ___noun(s)__________, a Hooters, and the Pegasus lounge.

We come to a stop in the parking lot, make a quick outdoor  noun (the first one since we played the show in Athens for some of us) and wandered into the dark, musty Pegasus Lounge. It was lit like a strip club, smelled like a trunk, and had a liquor store built into it. It felt like home. The bartenders were immediately noted for their slutty  noun(s) and eager  noun(s) , This could be a fun night.

With a basic game plan and knowing that there was a  noun literally down the road, we set off to verb and get things moving. After we hid the truck and trailer, a couple of us went in to  verb and lie to the  adjective clerk about the number of us. Again. The rest played some long-distance catch with a group of noun(s) . Never gets old.

So we showered, rested, and filled up on  noun(s) . Step one to a successful show complete. Now to kick off step two, so we head back for load in and ____noun .

We immediately cash in on our free  noun(s) and stand around for a bit. I believe it was around that time we were completely surprised by a  adjective ____looking Big Joe (Greaze and Drew’s father) and Freddy (Big Joe’s friend). It made this Tampa gem feel even more like home and got us ready to ___verb___ the unsuspecting  noun(s) of these regulars.

Needless to say, the show went well and we were ready for whatever could’ve been thrown our way that night. With all of our  noun(s) packed, we split ways and went on the search for good  noun(s) .

____name___ and  name had the hunger for some  noun(s) , so before leaving they grabbed some  noun(s) and  noun(s) ; the perfect combo for a goodnight.

Little did  name and  name know they’d be swimming in  noun(s)_at 8am and scurrying to walk back to the  noun where the rest of the guys were. Well, sometimes you have too much noun on tour and that’s just the case.

Around 9am they both had to trek roughly 4-5 miles back to the truck in order to make it to the next destination on time. This grueling task is only amplified when trying to recover from a  noun and  noun binge.

Dana made it back to the  noun first and had to lead the guys back to rescue their comrade, name .  With arms full of Dunkin Donuts and sin, Johnny struggled down the highway dripping with  noun(s) . It was just then the guys saw him and pulled him into the back of the cool AR wagon. It wasn’t over yet… we still had to  verb all the way to Miami.

Being that it was about 100 degrees and we had a stop coming up for petrol, we all decided that noun(s) were not needed. Right there at the gas station we all hopped out and ripped the noun(s) right off of ourselves. Equipped with gorgeous headbands made out of the  noun(s) and waters for everyone, we took off for Miami where we would do an impromptu afternoon Hot Topic acoustic set and later our real gig at Churchill’s Pub.

It’s tough to not want to  verb off  when you’re suffering from heat exhaustion, the AC is pumpin, and you have dark sunglasses on. That’s just what Johnny did. Not once, not twice, but about ten times while driving. We know this is not the best of information to divulge to the oh-so-innocent public, but it happened. Luckily Johnny, quickly thinking on his feet, was able to pop his ____noun(s)_ on to make it look like lane changes. Unnecessary ones.

Cut to Aventura Mall, Miami, Fl…

We hustled our gear into the poor, unsuspecting Hot Topic where we were playing and got ready to play a adjective acoustic set. But it was almost everything but that due to the fact that  we were road warriors on a binge of noun(s) .

Johnny, after a quick  noun in the back room of the Hot Topic, still wasn’t quite all there, but we played with a certain swagger. This swagger was apparently magnetic to the teenage ladies wearing ____noun(s)_, because even though Johnny basically bombed the acoustic set, we still found ourselves doing something that will always put a smile on any bands face: adjective    noun(s)  .

We  verb (past tense) everything:  noun(s) ,  noun(s) ,  noun(s) , bodies and a poor teenaged girl’s  noun(s) . Yes, a  noun(s) . It was epic. It was hilarious.

Wanting nothing more than to  verb the next  noun that night, we embarked for noun(s) in Miami. Upon arrival at our venue for the evening and with a quick assessment, we decided the beautifully dirty area was love at first sight. And then the wait was on.

When we say wait, we mean a seven-hour wait until we took the stage at 2 am. No problem, time for noun and  noun . Johnny sought solace and sleep in the 80 degree truck (with no AC) for a nap (it’s OK there was a bum taking money to watch out for your car), and we had some great friends (you know who you are) who followed us down there from home, which was pleasant.  Over the course of the night we did a bit of ____noun__ and a bit of _____noun___, chummed it up with some ____noun(s)___, a few cougars, many, many drunk ___noun___s and eventually ended up ________verb_______ and ___adjective______ out back behind the venue with some new friends of ours. We should also mention here that Jacob’s good friend, and former ____noun___ Meg, also made it out to see us play in Miami. We have a ____adjective_____ fan base.

The show had its gear-related (and drinking related) problems (Drew’s ___noun____ completely shit the bed and sounded like a swirling ____noun_____), but we put it behind us, quicky loaded up the trailer, and made our way to Auntie Cheri and Diane’s house in Ft. Lauderdale. The two most _adjective_______ and ____adjective_______ people on the face of the Earth, which happen to be Johnny’s two aunts. Also, we might add now that Johnny is  adjective . Just a thought.

With a glorious rest and even better hot  noun(s) , we awaited the arrival of our friends from home: Joe, Dave & Jon. True Road ___noun_____s. We had plans to eat dinner and then spend the night out in Miami with all the guys. Nothing better than a nice, hearty Italian  noun before a night full of drinking and____verb____.

After the dinner we enjoyed some martinis and karaoke: the Cutulle family past time. Unfortunately Jake got a hold of the infamous Bottomless Martini and suffered the consequences. This is a classic case of the Cutulle aunts refilling your ______noun___ before it’s even close to empty and you’re falling victim to __adjective___karaoke. Classic.

At this point in the night we were already finished, but we still mustered up the energy to drive Miami for the night. Miami can be a tough place to get used to, but not for us. We hit the streets with the ferociousness of noun(s) . With fire in our eyes and __verb___ to do, we roamed like  noun(s) . First thing’s first: take care of the Snake.

The combo of Bottomless Martinis,  noun(s) and  verb proved to be too much for the Snake’s stomach so he had to, let’s say, “ verb     “ himself at the parking garage. (All over the side of the parking garage and on a ____noun__ to be exact.) Don’t count him out yet though, he will eventually slither his way back into the scene.

With the Snake fast asleep in Joe’s hotel room, we scoured the streets of Miami finding good _____noun(s)__and really bad spots to drink our faces off at. One especially bad place shall remain nameless, but let us just say it cost us  noun(s) to get into to hang out with two other random guys and one noun dancing on the bar. We hightailed out of there faster than Chris Brown’s sponsors after the __noun___ incident. FAST!

I would say at this point we were all around a __number___ out of __number_ on the drunk scale and made the decision to leave Miami around 5 a.m having run through our fair share of successes and failures for one night. Joe and company made it safely back to what was the Snake pit temporarily, and Johnny and Greaze made it back to the truck with a _adjective___and ___adjective__ Snake behind the wheel. A adjective ,  adjective Johnny occupying the back, ___adjective__ Greaze in front, and Jacob The Snake Yackshaw driving, we carefully made it back to Ft. Lauderdale.

Between the ridiculous rush from venue to venue, the ever ____adjective_______ Johnny controlling the wheel, the ____adjective___ karaoke party and the blurry trip out of Florida, these 3 days were something to be ___verb_(past tense)__ forever…

Half _verb (past tense)_, anyways…

It holds a place in our ____noun(s)___, which are forever scarred by the meatball subs that were packed by Auntie Cheri and Diane which gave us unforgettable ___noun(s)______ burn for the entire ride to South Carolina.

And this is where our story ends for tonight, kids. Nothing will compare to Florida….or will it?
