Monster

So Monster energy drinks and water is a major sponser of Warped Tour and everyone basically gets as much product as they want. Many many of the band members and techies have strongly stated that they consume only the water. One techie declared that Monster energy drinks were likely cancerous. I don't know about that, but I can say with certainty that the day we each had 2 (maybe Alec had 3) we were flying very high. Lizzi was a complete manic maniac. She was hysterical and couldn't stop giggleing. It was weird.

But as I said, Monster is everywhere. If you look across a vacant field after a show you will see hundreds of empty Monster cans. It reminds me of when we used to do the highway cleanups for Lattitude 38 and we were amazed at all the McDonalds trash strewn. Here is it Monster cans.

But day before yesterday I really saw the upside of Monster water. Across from the van, one of the semi drivers was showering behind his drivers side door and rinseing off the soap with cans of Monster water. Later, while I was treking back from the shower grumbling to myself about the hassle of it all, I walked by two legends band members lathering up their privates (under their boxers) and again cracking cans of Monster to rinse off with. Cracks me up. Do you think that Monster would approve of this brand placement? Its as if the government just started printing money; the stuff has no value to anyone so it is freely flowing as bath water. For someone like me, a California native drowning in guilt over water conservation, it is almost more than I can bare...though honestly, if I were on the Monster give-away train, I'd be washing my hair with the stuff every day! True confession!
