Susan’s Cool Shit: Pink

You going to see my favorite real-life band tonight? You people in Grand Rapids (Michigan, for those you more geographically-challenged) are in for a treat.

Remember THIS Roadie Poet piece? (Holy smoke, it’s from 2007!)

If you’re too lazy to click through and read it, well, shame on you. At least open the link in a new tab so you can read it after you read this post. For you lazy-asses, here’s the lowdown: Roadies wear black. Someone’s girl shows up in pink. Scandal!

Tonight in Grand Rapids, roughly 90 members of the local crew who’ll be working the Metallica show will be in pink shirts instead of the traditional black. Yep, it’s a breast cancer awareness thing, which Trevor’s fully in favor of. (Healthy breasts are his favorite kind, don’tchaknow. And he’ll be glad to help you examine yours!)

(Uhh, women only, please. But men, remember, you CAN get breast cancer, too!)

I wish Roadie and I could be there to see this sight. I might have even put those pink stripes back in my hair for the occasion.
