I knew I'd be missing some sweet events by going, but this never before done Juice TV weekender bender sounded too good to be trueThere were more firsts; Melissa had never been on a train, Mark had never slammed so hard, Hanna & Phil had never boarded, Scotty Rocker had never gone to a gig and left his drums behind, Jayden had never climbed a pine tree so high, Rob had never mixed tequila with Red Bull, the Overlander train service had never run out of Miller beer, Anna had never presented on a train, Bastian had never played Guitar Hero, I had never ridden in the engine room of a train and I'd say that all of us had never quite had a weekend like it.For an expanded read/look at my past weeks activities CLICK HERE! |
