Mini-tour Gives Us a Preview

So, I'm a little late getting this up, but we played 4 shows in 6 days in Oregon over St. Patty's day weekend and got a little preview of what it's like living in a tour bus. We got along really well (better than expected!), made a little money, had some fun, and learned a lot more than one would think you could in 6 days!

For example:

- A 6% grade for 7 miles will make your brakes smoke.
- You can shower at the YMCA for $2.
- Two consecutive days without a show is BORING!
- Motorhome camping is about $40/night.
- Parking at Wal-Mart overnight is free (but often frowned upon)!
- It only takes 2 attempts to fill a 1.5L bottle with pee.
- When our fuel gauge says 1/8, it really means "E".
- The Twilight Zone is actually located in Sutherlin, OR!
- Inactivity actually inspires more inactivity - something that needs a cure.


That's about it for now - more to follow. Be sure to check out the dates I've listed to the right and hit me up if we're comng to your town. Peace!
