tales of the road chapter one

I sat in the front seat, my bare feet on the dashboard of the van. My bass sat in the back with the other instruments, and the drummer Kevin and the lead guitar Taylor were asleep in the seats ahead of them. Travis, the lead singer, drove the black van to austin for the gig. We were supposed to play at a place called Emos, and I wasn't too happy about that. "What the hell kind of music do you think we have to play at a place called Emos" I had asked travis earlier. "Its just a name,and we need the money" replied my best friend and the front man. I smiled as money for nothing by dire straits came on the radio. I softly began to sing, not wanting to wake the sleeping passengers in the back. As the song was ending,travis asked me "are you nervous about this."
"Not really
"Why not"
"Because while this is your first gig, ive been around this my whole life, thanks to my dad, and this isnt my first time playin either." I told him. They headed down the road,coming into austin and what had appeared to be a fun night.
