An interview:
Q: Hey Rob, how are things?
A: Eh... I am doing alright, except that I rolled my ankle Saturday night stepping off of a curb... Feel pretty lame about that.
Q: Oh, bummer.
A: Yeah, we went to a Greek party with our Club President. We had fun, but I am guessing that that was the last Greek party that I will attend for some time. I have a feeling that I am going to get stared at like I have antlers protruding from my skull the next time I see any local Greeks. Although I did win a 25 euro gift certificate to a restaurant in Offenburg (30km south of Buhl)!
Q: So not all was lost?
A: Well, we lost our match against a group of young kids (Freidrichafen Young Volleystars - avg. Age 18, junior national team players) 3-0. The scores were 23-25, 23-25, 26-28 and we had two starters who didn't play due to illness and a wrist injury, respectively. So it wasn't the greatest weekend ever.
Q: Well... At least you have got your health.
A: Yep... The ankle isn't great, but it should heal up soon. Yep... At least I've got my health.
Q: So any plans for Halloween?
A: Actually, a few bands from Buhl will be playing at a local venue on Tuesday night. I have been invited to play a song or two at the show. The only problem is that all of the bands that are playing are either Hard Rock or Punk. I am not sure if Rob's alt. rock/cheezy love songs about girls is gonna be the most perfect fit... But hey, why not? For some reason I keep envisioning that scene of "Animal House" when the guy is singing Kumbayah and Bluto (John Belushi) comes up, snatches the guitar, smashes it from wall to wall until it is destroyed and then hands it back to him.
Q: Although that would be a pretty kick-ass thing to occur at a local concert.
A: Yeah, that would definitely be a Rock 'n Roll moment. I would probably cry if my Taylor died, but its all about entertaining the audience. But, first I gotta land the gig... Then we can worry about guitar smashing and the pyrotechnics show.
