Summer Madness, what an event…. Because the SSM budget was a little short to pay for plane tickets, Garrick and I ended up driving from good ole' Boise Idaho to Bakersfield California for this one. The drive was like any long drive until we got about 30 miles from the run. As you can see from the photos in the next pages, we had a tire go bolistic on us leaving us stranded on the side of the road with a case of beer…. Uh oh… Garrick and I stranded with a case of beer? That couldn't be good…. We ended up coming to the conclusion that you can get more truckers to blow there horns if you hold a beer high in the air as you make the notorious "Semi truck horn arm movement". The beer is Key…. 80-90% of the times we held the beer up it worked… only about 40% of the non beer times did it work. Hehe, SSM's first scientific experiment!The show was cool, lots of nice rides. The security was a little overbearing however. There was a security guard for every 2 people there…. I thought it was a little overkill, but whatever….The next morning (I slept in the IV Ever Low Camp as usual) was the beginning of a small war… For future reference, you mess with the bull, you get the horns… hehe Anyways, To make a long story short, I was very rudely woken up by a friend of mine spraying me with a garden hose. Any of you that have been woken up by a glass of water, multiply that by ten and that is what I got…. Soaked!Revenge was defiantly in the plans…. I was told over and over that we were even (he made up a reason) but it wasn't gonna fly. See, we have this rule… if you fall asleep with you shoes on, your fare game (the idea being you must have passed out drunk). But if you are asleep and your shoes are off, you are of limits and can't be messed with. Shawn didn't understand the rules I guess, so because of that…. Shit was on for that night. He was gonna pay….In the next few pages you can see the aftermath of the revenge. First mistake he made was going to bed before I did (remember, he got me with my shoes on, so there's no rules for the payback at this point). He was in his tent fast asleep with his girlfriend… hehe… So... (read on -->)

The Revenge- Step one: Grabbed a Zip Tie and zip tied his two zippers together (making it impossible to get out of the tent).
- Step two: Grab some markers (I used the washable markers cause I don't wanna do permanent damage, just scare him)
- Step three: Write some really homosexual comments on every face of the tent (hoping he is waking up to hear it).
- Step four: When he wakes up he demands to know what I'm writing on his tent. We tell him to come out and see for himself (hoping he attempts to get out of the tent and realizes he can't). At this point we have Garrick, Junior from tailgate magazine, all of IV Ever Low, and a somewhat large audience that has shown up to see the festivities.
- Step five: The true payback… Get a supersoaker and spray the hell out of him through the mesh in the top of the tent. At least he was awake for it…
That's pretty much the revenge I was after…. Just one small undesired side effect though. After a few minutes he got angry that I was writing on his tent (he assumed with permanent marker) and ripped the door on his tent essentially ruining it. After he realized it was washable marker he calmed down but the damage was done. For that I apologize, I never wanted to do permanent damage, just have some fun. I know the crowd watching it got a kick out of it.Kris BloomSSM-Webmaster/Co-FounderKris@streetsourcemag.com
