I'm so sorry.

What a lovely story to read while having my breakfast

+1 I don't know what I expected but this is great

Also thanks for the #busgate intel chloek88 still hoping we get a tourbus blog but trying not to get my hopes up for a full DITL

Edit: just checked out that instagram and the fact that there is basically a Drake-the-bodyguard fandom is so wild, they posted this fanart which is adorable but also so so weird

By the time I got to the credits I was over it so I just stole the credits from Gravity. Sandra Bullock is totally in 'Hello Internet'.

This is great. I would totally see this movie.

I'm so sorry.

Loved it.

Oh dear this will be a long post, prepare yourselves
After I read this and then bedhead91's fanfic I was left with a very interesting mental image Oh and bedhead91 this was the fanfic I didn't know I needed in my life until now
That cover looks so good, like an indie film. I'd love to see something like that and about the paleness of Phil's skin, same. In recent year I wasn't able to tan at all, leaving me white af so I feel Phil on a deep level and as someone who wears black everyday in the summer I can confirm that you get used to it, at some points it sucks if you're outside all day but it's not so bad.

Now we know where they have the money for all of those buses which leads me to the next thing I'm gonna comment on
Thank you for this! #busgate my favorite down time activity is to stalk the buses so this warms my little heart. So now we definitely know they have 5 buses AND 1 truck. Good thing that we know which buses to stalk then. We didn't see any gold bus so maybe that is the one are on? Because it would make sense. The bus was never used after a show (when they were leaving) and nobody would know that it was theirs, and that would result in no stalking or following the bus and privacy. I am now really curious to see if the gold bus has a bedroom because if it has, then that would make my theory a little more believable (knowing that D&P are on a bus with a bedroom narrows our search)

Also the burgundy/black one is a mystery for me. I thought it was used by the merch crew?

Someone really should get a good photo of the buses of they are going to one of the shows

Edit: checked out that ig account and that is amazing. Now Tom aka Drake has his own fandom and it's so cute. I read on twitter (one of the m&g tweets that updatedphan rt) some days ago about someone telling Drake that he has his own fandom but he didn't believe it. Low-key hoping that he will see it was true

Nice one
Dan's tweet also reminded me of this: And the picture of Phil on the carpet is really cool. Though he kind of looks like he's being abducted by aliens.

Marry me.

I have a question regarding Drake. I know we all deduced his name is Tom based on that comment on instagram but I wonder about this.
Isn't the one in the middle Drake but with different name in the caption? (or am I blind and that is not Drake lol because that is so embarrassing) Or is it a nickname based on something else?

Mmm...maybe his name is Louie, and the "Tom" thing from Instagram was the joke? He'll be Drake forever in our hearts anyway

Now that you mention it, isn't it a bit strange that DP don't seem to hang out with anyone from the crew (besides Drake for obvious reasons), at least publicly?

It sure does look like Drake.

I think it's more due to tiredness and feeling the need to be alone (alone = just the two of them) to recharge after meeting so many fans everyday than don't wanna be friends with anybody.

It looks like Martyn is back in the UK.

That does make sense. And I can't blame them, if I were in their shoes I too would like some time alone, or in their case just some together time.

Phil did say in the live show that Martyn wasn't going to stay for the whole tour.

Still, everybody is working their asses off, and Martyn and Cornelia have had their fair share of fans as well. I myself am introverted and need time alone to charge my social batteries, but they both seem to exclusively hang out with each other, except from the Niagara Falls activity (that's the only example I can think of). Or maybe they're just avoiding to appear in the group pictures to avoid speculation.

Hopefully, DP read this forum and are going to post some random pic of them all, just like they did with the extremely long video of Dan

off topic post again lol but someone put phil's 'yas's' into the orig yas cat vid and it's hilarious

This makes it even better imo.

Bringing back busgate: this is quite stalkerish so I'm putting it under spoiler in case someone feels uncomfortable (but it was on a very big tumblr so I hope it's OK)
[offtopic]Today I finally gave in to my phan addiction and made a youtube account to subscribe to their channels + a tumblr to reblog cute giffs. Though I'm still trying to figure out how tumblr works, it's more difficult than it seems when you read a blog[/offtopic]

Only thing i can find from those is that their buses are specifically from Lebanon, Tennessee. Im not that good at investigating but maybe this makes the number of possible buses smaller

oops, clearly my post was confusingly worded (i did type it at 3 am). There are definitely not 5 busses! Just 2 from what I saw. One that is a dark color--either black or burgundy--with gold lining, which is the one d&p were in. And the other is black with sliver lining, which has the trailer attached. And then there's a large truck. And yeah, they all had Tennnessee plates. Sorry for any confusion!

Thank you for your kind words, everyone. Obviously my creative writing degree wasn't a waste of time. I'm slightly hungover.

pretty sure the deppy bus is black and gold and it's the one from that picture annetamiau just posted, we have seen them come in/out of it twice now and it has a bedroom so it matches the blue bus that they had when the tour started

are you sure the black and silver couldn't have been red and white somehow? there was also a black and silver lounge bus on the website i think but the pictures of the interior that we have thanks to the crew matched the red bus (but maybe they changed it when they changed the blue bus for the black one)

I'm working in Baltimore today/tonight on another event, but I'll do a drive-by on the venue for tonight's show to refresh the intel on #busgate. BTW, it's been cold and dreary today in Baltimore, but at least the rain has stopped. Might not be a good day for a DITL video, but tomorrow in DC looks to be a better opportunity (probably more scenic as well...)
