My job doesn’t suck.
Backstage pass perks that sometimes come along with my paycheck.
When my boss asked me if I could play host on a tour bus to a festival in Jacksonville, FL this weekend it took all of .02 seconds for me to respond with a yes.
Actually, I think I screamed, “OH HELLS YEAH!”
You know, me being oh so classy and all.
My chariot awaits.
While this weekend home on wheels rocks, it’s my job to stuff it with nothing but high quality snacks. I spent almost the entire morning trying to strong-arm my cart around the grocery store.
Who needs caviar when you can have Doritos?
But of course I lent my expertise the utmost important component of this trip…
Putting my liquor brilliance to good use.
It’s good to have a belly full of cocktails before you crawl into the crevice otherwise known as a bunk on the bus.
A non-restful night’s sleep awaits yours truly.
My graceful attempt to squeeze my ass in a bunk last year.
Although most of my time will be spent in the front lounge area talking, snacking, talking, cocktailing and looking at myself in the ceiling mirror.
Best. Ceiling. Ever.
So you can bet your ass folks will be wondering why the hostess is on the floor most of the weekend.
Mirror Mirror on the ceiling, does anyone else find this appealing?
As soon as my back hit the floor, I wondered which rock star used this area to put the mirrors to use…and then jumped up so fast, I almost gave myself whiplash.
But not before I captured a photo, of course.
Cheers to the weekend!

Doritos, booze, a music festival, and a tour bus. Life is good!
Life IS good! Plus, there will be more booze for us upon our arrival. Double score! Hope you have a fab weekend Mr. NYC!
Have fun. We are headed back from a week in Jacksonville right now. It was splendid. Cheers!🍷🍺🍸🍹
I saw you were there – looked like a great time of antiquing and beach days from your IG posts! Safe travels!
There is not doubt in my mind, CBXB, no matter who else is on this bus, it will totally belong to you by the end of the first bend of the road. Have a fun and festival feat tour bus trip, and watch out for those rock star mirror flash thoughts!
You know me well Mark. Very, very well! 🙂 I think I may bring a sleeping bag to protect me as I lay on the floor and look at myself in the mirror. Seems less germy…
Yes. Good idea. Safe from prior shenanigans, CBXB!
Ohhhhh, you will have a blast. You have a great weekend!!
I think it’s going to be a blast! I’m already having fun preparing for it today (as you can see!). I’ll report back in Weekend Winks next week. Have a fabulous weekend yourself!
Love the last photo… Have a fun and safe trip!!
Thanks John – I did. And am still in recovery! 🙂
Ships that pass…my tugboat man was in jacksonville until yesterday morning lol…you guys could have raised a glass to honor ME lol
STOP IT! Seems like we’re always “passing” one another. Wasn’t he at the Nashville airport not too long ago?!
Yup, he was in Nashville, damn, one of these days we’ll get together!
YES! YES! YES! We will!
CBXB I have been all but invisible in the blog world of late, but this post drew me out! I officially want to be you, or your assistant. 😀
Hey there! Long time no see, indeed! When I have the dough to employ an assistant, you’re hired!
🙂 So how was it? Bigggg fun?
Such bigggg fun that I’m still in recovery. A slow, slow, slow recovery!
Yeehaw! Can’t wait to read that post! 🙂
Mind a little detour to California? Swing by and pick me up? LOL. I wish. Looks like a busload of good times and a lost weekend in the making. Have an awesome time CBXB. Can’t wait to hear about it.
If we swung out to Cali, we’d just be arriving now! Fun times, indeed. My body hasn’t computed that the weekend is over yet and it’s Tuesday…
LOL, well if you swung out here and were just arriving then the fun would just be about to start then wouldn’t it? Ha Ha!! Glad it was fun. Love it when it takes two days plus to wind down from a trip. As long as it is not with a cement head.
No cement heads here. Almost feeling back to normal – all I need is about 23 more hours of sleep and I’ll be all good in the hood! Too bad the fun isn’t just starting for us in Cali!
So fun!!! Have a blast!
Master blaster. Mucho recovery needed!
I have ALWAYS wanted to see what the inside of one of those busses are like. Nice snax, BTW. When you are road trippin’, you gotta roll with the filth.
Typically the inside of the buses are a little more glam. We got an oldie but a goodie because it was Bonnaroo here in Nashville and no one had any buses. Snacks make the world go ’round on a trip!
Ever had Puppy Chow? The human snack, of course. Oh my god, I only have it on cross country excursions.
YES! I love Puppy Chow AND I love the fact that you know what it is and call it the same thing I do! It’s so addicting.
Love’ struck stop carries it. Oh shit. Sooo gooood!
Now I’m craving the shit out of some Puppy Chow. My lips thank you – hips….not so much!
Luv’s, here you come.
When I finally hit that point where I throw my hands up and say Fuckit! I give up on working out and trying to look good, I’m gonna go to town on Puppy Chow and Pringles.
I’ll be there right along side of you!
It is just a weekend of hostess drinking. .. Why is there a place to sleep? You know Mr Ted is going to require mucho imported duck&peas. New kat… sure you can figure it out. Pink hair to play w maybe?
I’m being punished by the kit cats! I’m pouring duck and peas out my wazoo and New Kat…he’s happy to play with pink hair AND climb every possible thing imaginable in my mini manse in order for me to never rip an eyeball off of him. Up to no good these two after I’ve been hostessing (er…drinking) the weekend away!
Red solo cup and mirror mirror on the wall. Hey yah!
You know that’s how us classy ladies roll!
New post just rolled out. Tell me if you think you’re in it?!?
ROLL OUT!
Quite an enviable ‘job’, I would say. I’m sure you’ll be a BIG hit. 🙂
You know, while it seems like this would be the most difficult of all employment positions, I somehow seem to muddle through it. With the help of a few cocktails, naturally!
After careful examination of your photos, I believe you are pretty much well stocked with booze and snacks. So I have to declare that…job well done!
Have fun! (yeah right, you need me to remind you of that)
I looked at this comment you left often over the weekend to remind me to have fun. So thank you for your help! 🙂
OMG how much am I looking forward to the next post?!?!?!
Hope the weekend makes Rolling Stone look like Sesame Street!
HA! It was indeed a doozie of a weekend. Especially with the type of crowd country music seems to lure to shows. I had more fun people watching than anything all weekend (especially with a Skinny Pirate in hand).
Wonderful…………You have a really great job and you’re right about Doritos ! That’s a very funny photo with you on the ground looking into the ……… 🙂 🙂 !
Snacks are the most important aspect of a road trip! No matter if you’re traveling via bus, car, plane or train! My job is really fun and I have a great time doing it!
I really do imagine 🙂 ! Xxx
Hmmm, drooling for Doritos chip. I haven’t had those for ages. Looking sexy on that mirror picture. Have fun!
You know Doritos are worth the calorie splurge every now and again!
Daaamn. Nice wheels, kid. Styling!
Us classy ladies roll in style, ya dig?
Awesome…your fun and fabulous!
Easy to seem fabulous on a tour bus! 🙂
