04.03.08 It’s Like A Fraternity.  Only Smaller.

It’s like a fraternity.  Only smaller.

1.) Steven will be hanging out with me on a regular basis.  For a while anyway.  You could call our hanging out times “meetings”, though my rider calls them “events” and I call them “gigs.”

2.) I will pay Steven cash money for hanging out with me.  In exchange for my cash money he’ll talk to me and lift heavy things and I also get to call him something other than his first name: Bush.  Like all his other “friends” do.  And he’ll call me Loretta.  Like my “friends” do.

3.) We will make videos of ourselves acting juvenile.  And take pictures as well.

4.) Bush is cool and smokes a pipe and will no doubt try to get me to smoke one too, and will probably chant something while doing it.  Something like “Smoke it! Smoke it! Smoke it!”, something persuasive like that, again and again.  I will smoke it because I don’t go to a Baptist church anymore and I desperately need the approval of my new “friend” and I paid him cash money to taunt me like this and I want to sound raspy and awesome like Robbie Seay.  Not that Robbie is cool enough to smoke a pipe like my new “friend” Bush does or anything.

5.) There won’t be a dance but there might be a cheap white horribly designed overpriced t-shirt.  We could use the proceeds to buy hard beverages: Dr. Pepper, Mountain Dew and whatnot.

6.) We will eventually move on from each other but, no doubt, the bond will remain strong.  If, for example, his kid someday wants to work for come to “meetings” with my kid, all he has to do is ask and charge my kid less than the guy my kid will be currently using at the time.  That’s brotherhood.

Today the brotherhood is driving to Florence, Alabama to play and speak at a college bible study.  Then we’ll drive back late tonight.  Ben, my booking guy/web site builder/pledge, is coming along for the ride.  He will be naked and eating small living things by the time we return.

To bring the brotherhood to your church or college just e-mail us.  How’s May sound?
