“Do you think I suck ass at that solo part?” I asked no one in particular. I had abruptly stopped my rendition of It’s Your Solid Rock on stage at the MAX, one of the hottest venues in the Northwest. We would be playing the massive venue the following day and I was screwing around with the awesome acoustics. Situated in the Gorge and with a stunning view out the back of the auditorium, I was alone on stage, playing to no one. Johnny and Dex were somewhere in the building, working on some technical difficulties, and there was a handful of people setting up lights and equipment.

“Nah, you sounded perfect,” a guy in a gray suit yelled out to me from behind the sound booth. “I was listening. Real good. You own that stage.”

I bowed to him and then blew him a kiss, whoever he was. I started to strum again, trying to come up with our set list for the next night. The boys always left me in charge of it and I was trying to pick songs that mirrored this incredible place. After a few beats, Johnny came up behind me and kissed me on the cheek.

“You look beautiful today, sweets.” His short buzzed cut hair and silver lip ring sparkled in the mixture of the stage light and the fresh natural light coming from the outside windows. I kissed him softly on the lips.

“You don’t look so bad yourself, Johns,” I said in my most seductive voice. “Maybe we should quit this whole band thing and make a living out of giving each other compliments all day.”

Johnny went to the microphone. “My girlfriend says we can have sex all day instead of this shit. So, we quit. Consider this our last gig.”

Dex rolled his eyes and muttered “Love Sick Ponies is a shit name anyway.”

Johnny and I decided to go public with our rekindled relationship in an interview with K105.8FM BLISS radio in San Francisco less than two weeks ago. It was a fantastic day. I felt like I could breathe again. People knew my relationship status so they basically backed off of me for once.

The whole Brennan debacle blew up in our faces and Danielle had stuck James, who happened to be ex-marine on me for weeks. I was grounded to the tour bus and could only leave for food and water. Even then, shit, it was just depressing.

Johnny made it his business to be the entertainment segment of the treacherous time out. He built a puppet stage out of some milk crates and got costume designers at one show to help him make puppets of us, as ourselves. Mine was brooding and actually pretty fucking hot. He didn’t hold out in the boob department. I also noticed that puppet Johnny had a bigger bulge in his pants than puppet Dex. Poor Dex. His girl broke up with him... again and he seemed fine most days. Beating the drums helped and well,
