The Verve Pipe Tour: Grand Rapids To Pittsburgh (or, Grover Gets Lost)

DISCLAIMER: As my grandmother used to say, our band uses 'swears'. Not everything is neat and tidy. We don't always get along. We don't always make a profit. We all take turns driving. We all enjoy a drink. We get mad when nobody shows up for a show, or requests Bittersweet Symphony, or yells "The Freshmen!" before we hit the first chord. In other words, we're people. This is a job. But it's a good one. On my way to picking up the Sprinter van at the rental place, I thought for a moment that we may not be taking the trip after all. They require a special kind of insurance, and my personal auto policy wouldn’t cover 9 people in what would certainly become a giant fart box on wheels,
