  I ave a name for it!! notfraudage, but frotteurism. you know, those creepy (sometimes not so creepy guys that rub all up on you at shows..... (defined as masturbation by rubbing against another person, the need to rub against another stranger, especially in a tightly packed crowd) i hate it, and now i know what to call it.
and more good gto news grubb says: Okay... you all won't believe this.... as you have read earlier in the day, all of our equipment has been recovered and is now in our possession. as this day was one of the most satisfying in so many ways in my life, i would have never thought it could have gotten better. but, yet, it did. approximately 6 hours after we received the call regarding our equipment, i received another call from my friend, Dave Webber (channel 6 sports anchor).
he called me from his cell and from inside a 1995 White Dodge Conversion Van which he had just purchased at an auto auction. it was then that he told me that he bought the van for GTO!!! so, now, we not only have ALL of our equipment back but we also have a brand new van thanks to dave. can you even imagine how we're feeling right now?!?!? with all this luck and good fortune at the hands of others, we are once again more grateful than we can express.
spread your wings and fly!!! grubb, bob, james and mike ps... i really think i should go buy a lottery ticket! to that i say this Congratulations. :) It is amazing things worked out as they did. If anything can make a group of people ask themselves what their future holds, whether this is what they are supposed to be doing, and a thousand other destructive questions, this is it. A situation such as this either brings people closer together or pushes them apart. You guys prevail. ... and I am happy to say that your calling has been reinforced to a degree that is beyond anything shown to you thus far. There is no such thing as a chance occurrence, and things would not have worked out as perfectly if this was not what you were supposed to be doing. It is horrible that it had to happen under such grave circumstances, but your situation rallied the troops, if you will. Support came from people who had no idea who you were -- my mom even caught wind and wanted to know how she could help, for God's sake.
This not only shows you guys how much people care, but hopefully washed away any doubts left in your mind regarding what you do. After shit like this goes down, what can't you handle? Not to mention that is quite the initiation for Mike. :) S is flying in and we will be at "the big show" June 20. As press savvy as you are I am sure you are aware that everything surrounding this experience was great promotion, regardless of circumstance. It only goes up from here!
