@crystalbowersox @brianwalkerlive @hannip4crystal Place: Arco Arena...... Date: Aug. 18, 2010..... What: History making water fight w/the 1 & only Crystal Bowersox AKA: MamaSox..... Opponents: Village Idiots (idiots, hmmm, no competion there!)
Yesterday was an epic event for several Village Idiots & MamaSox fans. We had the awesome privilege of participating in a war of wit, cunning & yes, water balloons. My daughter Morgan & I left Chico bright n early Wed morn, heading out 2 meet our beloved Crystal @ the Arco Arena in Sacramento. Prior 2 our departure, we had received intel that a water ballon war was 2 ensue once Miss Bowersox, er Commander Bowersox, arrived on the premasis. So, in preparation we filled water bombs 4 the fight, Mr. Billy VI4 was preparing a trove of ammo as well. We arrived @ the venue around 11:45am & began tweeting 2 find out where the 'enemy' & her transport was. We received intel that they would be arriving after 1:30 pm, we anctiously awaited her arrival. Once her caravan arrived, we watched as she stepped out of her chariot 2 make her way 2 HQ, as she passed, I shouted, "Crystal, you coming back out?" Her reply, "oh yeah". Boy were we excited, waiting with baited breath. We were soon tweeting 4 an ETA & received this message from 'MamaSox': alert others outside that if they don't want to get wet they should step aside when they see me coming.
Those around us were tremblring w/fear!!!
(Now had heard of the infamous chariot driver Arlene, of which u have written a song, we expected a big ol burly chariot driver, but no...I saw this petite, but strong woman step out of the chariot & I hollered, 'Arlene', n sure enuf, it was her. We waived her over & met this amazing woman, we are so glad that u have Arlene 2 watch over u, she is a true gem).....
As we r watchin 4 a suprise attach, we see MamaSox peak her head over the 'grassy knoll', look around & lob the 1st bomb. Then she disappeared....we talked amongst ourselves....thinkin that security was trying 2 thwart her plans. But she was actually plotting w/security, I can hear that evil laugh, mwhahahaha. As we looked on, we saw her run up the hill hiding behind the trees. Hmmm, something is afoot!!!! Then, she is gone. We wonder amongst ourselves, 'is that it, is that all'. So I tweet & ask if she is 'a 1 balloon pony'. Receive message: I have an advantage here. A faucet... and 9 other idols who might help....(Well, big Mike drove the battle crusier & Tim shot pics).
So as we patiently awaited, we kept looking behind us, afraid she would sneak up behind us & wammo, bushwacked. We continued to tweet & finally received this message: NEthing U dont want to get wet please keep from firing range. This is your last warning. VIs please alert those around you who are not aware......Then came this: Secret weaponry in the works.... mwhahahaha.....(what a wicked laugh)...Then: As soon aaaron and tim are done signing its on.
There were many fans that couldn't believe that Crystal would actually declare war, little did they know. It wasn't long before Crystal & Big Mike came screamin out of the belly of Arco Arena, on a golf cart, loaded w/water cooler full of water bombs & MamaSox, n the war commenced.
I can never thank u enough Crystal 4 sharin this wonderful day with us, I salute u, u were awesome. Sorry if u got sunburned, plenty of lotion n aloe n water. Thank u 4 coming back out 2 talk, sign, n pic w/ur idiots & fans. Luv u tons, Gwen
