3 years ago Jp Firri Group had a contract with HBO, so we used to play some techno music in some performances with HBO comedians, shows, etc. The contract was just for a couple of months in the summer, so my friend's parents and my parents agreed, we were getting paid for doing what we love to do...
One day we're supposed to make a performance in Phoenix; so we were traveling from San Diego, CAL., in a freaking tour bus that HBO gave us to travel with some other guys from the same agency, but between the two cities... you know, there's a checkpoint, where they're looking for... ILLEGALS, NARCOTICS, WEAPONS, or all 3 if you're convenient! So we're passing through this checkpoint, and we get pulled over: the immigration officer walks over the window... hits the bus with his hand PUM! PUM! "What's going on here?" And our bus driver -his dude name is Dave, he has been driving tour buses for like 30 years, he's old and white! And he never cares about anything, like his favorite phrase is 'I don't give a shit!', so the immigration officer asks, and Dave is like "It's a DJ group, and some guys from the staff, we're going to Phoenix to make a performance in a casino with some comedians, their sponsor is HBO, it's logic..." We're on the back of the bus and we hear from the outside: "wuaarf, wuarf... rrrghhhh... wuarfff! wooarf!" The officer hits the bus again with his hand PUM! PUM! and then points at Dave "Hold on, sir!" He looks to the officer with the dog, and they make signs with their hands... the officer comes back to our bus and says to Dave: "Our dog has just informed that there's something inside this tour bus, that is not supposed to be here..." Dave: "Is there, or he says it? Hehe! God damn Scooby Doo!" We're on the back of the bus having a heart attack: "DAVE! You're gonna get us arrested!" Dave: "I don't give a shit!" The cops ask the representative of the group to get off the bus, my name and my logo are on the side of the bus, so the doors open, I meet with an officer with a dog on his side... rrrrhhhhh... wuaaaarf! wooarff! rrgghh... Officer: "What's on the bus?!!" And I'm like: "What's on the bus? just more mexicans..." Dave was looking at me and he was laughing, while the officer was sniffing thinking... "...illegals", "EVERYBODY off the freaking bus!" So, my friend Diego, Ignacio, Avado, Dave, and the HBO guys, everybody coming off the bus, we were like.. One little, two, little three, little mexicans... four, little, five... ... after three hours of playing with dogs, and taking pictures, they let us go... When we finally arrived, we were a little bit late for setting up all the turntables and speakers, our boss got mad at us, when I told Dave about what happened to our boss, he just said: "Hey little man, we were having trouble with those freaking officers in the damn checkpoint, I don't give a shit!".
