Cold in Kansas

so we were delayed in getting in to Lawerence KS yesterday as we spent an hour and a half in a panera bread in Tulsa waiting on a tire on our trailer that had gone flat to be repaired (we somehow drove over a big nasty nail that decided to flatten the only 2 week old tire).

that combined with our GPS device (which we have named Karen... as the Brittish accented voice that gives us directions is well... just named Karen) kept giving us fowl directions... which was aggrivating. I think Karen is mad at us for some reason... it'll be ok, we'll apologize and buy her some flowers or something tomorrow.

we made it though in time for load in and in time for the show... really wish we had gotten in early though as Lawerence is a really killer town. I had some friends that lived in Lawerence for a time and they always told me how amazing the city was... well Simon and Melinda... you were right.

Great show in Lawerence... the folks at the Jackpot Saloon were amazingly nice. Cant wait to come back. Nice intimate venue... very cool place. There is a venue in Austin called Trophys... and if one was to invert the sides of the bar (ie flip the walls and flip the bar) the Jackpot would be an exact replica of Tropyhs... in think they are Dopplegangers of one another... i havent yet decided which one is is the evil one!

alright... we're at our hotel in Kansas City right now... heading to Columbia Missouri tonight for a show... i think the opening act is a guitar hero tourneyment.... this should be fun interesting...
