It has been a couple days since I have updated the world from tour land. First off it is sometimes Very hard to find a place to stay that is not $50+ at a hotel. One hotel is the equivalent to a tank of gas, which means we try our best to find a friend's house to stay at. We came upon Madison, WI to find out that we did not have a place to stay. I parked in the cheapest hotel's parking lot and got out about to go in and get us a room.
I stopped and though to myself, "There has to be someone, somewhere in Madison that I know or a friend knows that can help us out". We walked over to Arby's and attempted to find this glorious person! Time kept getting later, 8pm, 9pm, 10pm. Anthony's phone died so he finally went to the van to start charging it and as he did so he received a text from a young life leader that lives just outside of Madison. And that is how we found a place to stay that night thanks to our dear friend Vicki from Wyoming knowing this person.
Chicago was grand and we stayed with a friend of mine that moved there 6 years ago. It was rad to experience the driving fun with thousands of dollars worth of gear in our van. We ate some very unhealthy pizza at Giordanos and then had some awesome ice cream and Margies. Great times with great friends.
Yesterday (Thursday), we traveled 4 hours to play an afternoon show in Terre Haute, IN and then played that show at 3pm. Met some awesome people there, but then traveled 5 more hours to Davenport to sleep at my Aunt Twylas. People have been so kind to us on the road and opening their homes to some smelly guys to stay at. The last couple days I have thought about so many big things in my life and the decisions that need to happen with them. Perspective happens so often when you are driving and just in a zone by yourself for long periods of time. I shall write an update in another couple days. Til then my next post will be of a new song I am working on.
