Have you ever wondered what an 'Arena Rat' or a 'Lot Lizard' might be?When a celebrity talks about life 'on the road', have you ever wondered what the day to day adventures of such an endeavor might be like? Do you ever see the huge touring busses with darkened windows speeding across the highways and byways of the United States and Canada all spring, summer and fall and wonder who is inside, and more importantly where they have been, and where they are going?Questions like these and more are all anwered with humor and a laugh out loud honesty by producer and writer Bruce J. Starin, as he spearheads and directs an international stage truck and bus tour of America’s Favorite Game Show, Wheel of Fortune Live! scheduled to play in over forty venues in sixteen weeks on the road - including huge arenas, baseball stadiums, state fairs, race tracks, coliseums, and yes, even legitimate theatres, while enduring hail storms, tornadoes and torrential downpours.Along the way the company encounters celebrities and show business legends also on the road or doing stints in various permanent venues who all wanted to 'spin the Wheel'. Some of these notables include Barbra Streisand, The Beach Boys, KISS, Wayne Newton, Carrot-Top, Tom Jones, George (Dr. Funkenstien) Clinton, Louie Anderson, Penn and Teller, Reba McIntire, Brooks and Dunn, and many, many others including an occasional prong-horn antelope, elk, or curious moose. One and all, they were all as our host Bob Eubanks reminded us 'Making hay when the sun shined!'Occasionally, frisky members of our crew would make the acquaintance of a lonely 'Arena Rat' or 'Lot Lizard', professionals of the road you might say, but to find out how these encounters went, you just have read this book!
