The Roach Coach Man

So, what do you call the guy that drives the “roach coach?” A roach?

This powwow is going to drive me insane. My food vendor backed out on me this week, and now with three days to go, I don’t have anyone to sell food at the event. I guess that’s why I get paid the big bucks. 

While frantically searching today for a replacement food vendor, I decided to take a look in the yellow pages, that good old source for everything under God’s golden sun, from aardvark trainers to zoological species analysts.  So what do you call the roach coach guys again? You know, the guys who drive their burger and ‘dog trucks (usually silver) around town selling goodies to all the blue collar guys who never bring a lunch to work.  What the heck are these guys listed under in the yellow pages?

I give up…

Fend for yourselves, hungry public. I’m going to McDonalds.

A.I.S. 40th Annual May Powwow Headaches

So, the American Indianist Society (AIS) puts on two Indian powwows a year, one in October and the other in May. Last year I decided that I would be the powwow chairman, which basically means that I got to do all the work, and worry about everyone else doing their job too. As if I wasn’t masochistic enough, I decided to agree to run this year’s powwow as well. Let’s just say that this will be the last one I run for a long time. People seem to be almost deliberately trying to make this a difficult task by saying “NO” to every ask for help. I’ll be glad when this one’s over!
