As the story goes, the Road Bandits were in the midst of shooting the folf video. The tripod was setup outside of the RV, Randy was practicing his lines, and Will was waiting inside for his queue, Acapulco shirt and all. Along came a young couple that was interested in the Road Bandit project. We chit-chatted for a bit and gave them the inside scoop on the glorious lifestyle of a Road Bandit! It turned out that Trevor (who spoke with a thick Irish accent) is the owner of Skeptical Chymist, an Irish bar the serves authentic Irish cuisine. He handed us a gift card and asked us to stop on by when we got a chance. Thirsty for cold beer and good food, we rallied to Skeptical Chymist the very next night. Awesome place! It’s too bad we hadn’t run into them earlier. Will’s birthday on Saturday would have been a HOOT! Apparently Starsky, from Starsky and Hutch, made an appearance that night. Plus, there was a live band playing! UHG! There’s always next year, right?
Folf, a.k.a. Frisbee Golf, professionally referred to as Disc Golf, is “the fastest growing sport that nobody knows about.” That has Road Bandit written all over it! Not mainstream? Check! Needs your attention due to its spectacular coolness? CHECK! There’s no question about it, the Road Bandits had to cover Disc Golf for a couple of days. Lucky for us, Arizona is the #3 location in the world for Disc Golf! Who knew!?
We’re scouring the land, looking for musicians to let us borrow a few of their tracks so we can feature them in the Road Bandit videos! If your happenin’ tunes are used, we’ll place a link to your website/sales site and a bio directly below each video that your music is featured in. Send us an e-mail to Contact@RoadBandit.com that contains a link to your samples and we’ll get back to you if the glass slipper fits! If you’ve got a friend that rocks your socks, send us a link to their samples and we’ll contact them directly! :)
Road Bandit has some great footage that’ll be coming your way within the next 24 hours. For now, it’s time to celebrate Will’s birthday!!! 24 has a nice ring to it, don’t you think? :) Break out the party hats and the piñata! Just don’t overdo it on the tequila! Aw heck, it’s Saturday… pound ‘em down folks!
Now that we’re in Phoenix there’s a flood of new ideas popping into our heads each day, but we’re without local guidance! For all of you local site visitors and Twitter folks out there, if you know of any interesting characters or businesses here in this desert Oasis we call Phoenix, drop us a suggestion!
