Tour diary (last part)

(written 7/19/06)

We're still in Room 117 of the Budget Inn. We decided to spend an extra day here since the last show is like 20 minutes away. Yesterday was a nice lazy day of hanging around the motel room. We did step out for an excellent lunch right down the road. Penny and Andy had a "Pittsburgh Cheeseburger", which is...

We're staying at a Budget Inn in Broadman, OH at the last exit before PA. Tonight will be the last show. Can't believe it's already been a week since this whole thing started. I think all these troubles we've faced has made us an even stronger band. It definately has been an adventure.

We finally got let into the...

Triple A came and the driver was knocking on the bottom of the gas tank with a hammer while Andy cranked it over and it started right up! Apparently it's a fuel pump problem. Don't know how many more times we can get away with this technique, but we'll try. After tonight there...

I'm sitting in the bathroom of Room 202 of the Comfort Inn near Grove City, PA right off exit 113 of I-79 South. Yes, it happened. The van broke down yesterday. We had pulled into a Sheetz gas station less than 30 miles from where the show was to gas up. Andy goes to start it and it's just...

Hello from the 2nd highest point in PA., Summit Hill. Here we are at Jonny, Jonny, Jonny & Shannon's house. Still a little sleepy, but well fed after super taco night. Yahoo maps finally let us down by telling us to take a wrong turn on 443 and putting us out of the way for a bit.

Penny is...

I think yesterday was the craziest day yet. We went from being tourists in Kennebunk, ME, to shopping looking to fix my bass drum pedal in Portland, ME, to playing a show in stifling heat, to taking a 3 1/2 hour drive to CT. to stay at Ben from NRL's house only to wind up in the worst traffic...

Greetings from room 11 of the Turnpike Motel in Kennebunk, ME. Last night was definately a hit and run show. It was over before I knew it. At least we got to play with a pirate!

Oh, one more aside from the night before. Besides laughing over the "children" sign, we kept laughing over how friggin' wavy the roads...

Still getting ready for the band's mini-tour. I have a few more items to get for the road. At least the dates are finalized...I think! Still not 100% sure on the Pittsburgh area show. It will either be in a museum or a basement.

I'm not really stressing as we should have plenty of places to crash along the way. J Prozac will let us...
