Kansas Plain Rocks

Today we're driving across Kansas. Steve Garvey and Lucky are sleeping, and o3's driving. I'm taking a break from sending booking emails to admire how flat this state is.

Shows in Lawrence and KC were great. We played the Replay in Lawrence where Lucky knocked a spaceship off of the ceiling, and o3 heard what it sounds like when a piano explodes. The people who work at the Replay are, perhaps, the coolest bar staff in the entire country. We had a great time, then went back to our friend Adam and Jessica's house and sipped on Lone Star's. Adam played a song that Steve Garvey wrote and blew us all away.

The next day we played in KC and the infamous Cobra came to see us. Cobra at one time was Steve Garvey's arch nemesis, so we were all a little nervous. Luckily, thinks didn't go nearly as badly as the first time they met

We got to hang out with the Brick's owner, Sheri on the night that she celebrated owning the club for five years. It was a momentus night. The band Drone played their last show ever, and the first band, Undimmed, played their fist show in 11 months. We were given Pabst Blue Ribbon for the second night in the row.

We just got a call from Hip Williams. He did some snooping on line, and find out that we'll be playing with two great bands next Tuesday. Saturday Looks Good to Me and Sunshine Fix are playing with at the Firehouse on the 18th. It will be a blast to see tthose bands and play at one of our favorite places.

Time to get a sandwich and some sleep. Three shows in the next two days... all of them at least a mile high.

Rock and roll,
