Bells Rocked!

Okay, we had TOTAL fun at our private Bells Amusement Park photo shoot last night! We even got to ride rides, with just the band on 'em! All except for the Zingo because there was nobody there to man the handbrake (yes, it still uses a manual handbrake -- eep!) so we didn't wanna risk it.

Something cool we did do though was the band climbed up to the top of the Zingo above the Pepsi sign and took a photo from up there. I'm tellin' ya -- in gig boots with heels, and climbing an incline like that as just a steep slope with wooden pegs for footholds and a BIG BIG gap that you could fall through with one misstep, it was pretty scary. I'm not afraid of heights but that one did get me a little sweaty by the time I'd reached the top. Coming down was surprisingly a lot easier, because the worst that could happen (not counting falling through the big gap and dying) is that you'd slide on your butt a few pegs.

SO much fun though -- we took pics in Phantasmagoria (and I got to be a preteen and ride it in the dark and scream, LOL), the carousel, bumper cars, Himalaya, go-carts, and the newest ride, "Mind Melt". THAT was pretty scary -- one of those totally fun drop rides. We got to ride all of those and in general just horsed around the park like we owned the place.

I want to thank Robbie Bell especially for letting us go out there and do our band promo shots in a closed, private park session. What a treat!

Busy day today @ work recovering from our power outage, ugh. And our bandwidth is TERRIBLE! I'm trying to find the bottleneck. BTW, SMiRK is playing tonight at Fishbonz, people -- get out there and support 'em!
