Vagabonds
on Vacation!
Yes, the rumors are true... after over six years of being constantly on the road, we rag-tag group of Vagabonds are in need of wee
break. But not too much of one! Call it rehab if you will. We're addicted to performing and meeting new and wonderful people.
So what are we all going to be doing? Well...here is the LAST chaper of the Vagabond Vacation -- for the full story, click
here to read the pervious two parts!
Eric
Stern Update Part
2! Having been made a God by the people of the BushyMushy Tribe, Eric initially
contemplated sticking with the being a deity stick. However, knowing the show must go on, he escaped and made his way back up to Portland.
Being such a treacherous journey, he sprouted a beard, partially to hide his mustache and to be more incognito amongst the hipsters
of Portland to avoid detection.
Jason
Flores Update Part
2! Due to religious difference within the Chedder Cheese Cult, violence broke out
among
the followers, involving much feta-ing. Apparently, claims that Flores had become a muenster were greeted with much chimay by the devotees.
Flores tried to reason by saying "whats gouda for them was gouda for me". Following the reuniting of the followers,
Flores decided to step down, handing over power to his new High Sultan of Swiss. His parting words of advice? "Don't worry, kid, they'll edam you up.
And I swiss you luck."
Skip
vonKuske Update Part
2! Skip is still enjoying his cocoa. A
lot.
Robin
Jackson Update Part
2!! Robin apparently has written several full length novels in his SaxCode language
and one book which
is a dictionary of the language itself so you can understand his novels. Apparently, to understand the books themselves, the learning of the
saxaphone is required. When asked if this was part of a larger evil plot to spread the sax across the world, he simply
cackled maniacally , which
was quickly followed by an "oops!" and "I mean! ....."
Ashia
Grzesik Update Part 2!! Having been rushed to the
hospital after 20 hours of raiding Ironforge
due to a Mountain Dew overdose, Ashia is recovering nicely. Though slightly twitchy, we believe she shall make a full recovery. However,
due to her using the Piccolo of the Flaming Fire non-stop, she's been kicked out of the recovery ward after causing too many
injuries.
Mark
Burdon Update Part
2!! Mark's 100% Organic Rat Circus has since been taken over by its main competitor,
The Mostly Organic Rodent Carnival (and Possibly Some Other Mammals as Well)! However, due to Winky the Cyclops Rat's oath of loyalty to Mark, we
have it on good authority that a possible uprising of the actually organic rats should prevail bringing down the Carnival's evil
empire.
Dr. Xander
Gerrymander Update Part
2!! Having finally come out of his self-induced coma, Dr. Xander
Gerrymander was sad to learn that he missed one too many questions on his license renewal, and may have to operate temporarily without a legitimate one.
Shhhh....
Shows in the future!
