The Great Escape Tour Blog #2

Shit... it's been a few days, let's get you caught up!

Day Seven - 08/27 After the show in Dekalb, which was wicked fun, we headed to Northwood Iowa. We played at a place called Bar Games, which was a cool venue, there just wasnt much of a crowd. None the less we still kicked the flavor! I hear there are more cows in Iowa than people. That is probably true.

Day Eight - 08/28 After the show in Iowa we headed right to Racine WI and caught some sleep in the van. We were booked to play Nickapalooza and it was an outdoor festival in a park, so we had to be there early. Pigpen, Pat and Dusk played at 2:30 and we played at 5:30pm, so we didnt have time to waste in Iowa. This even was Awesome! There were lots of great music acts, food and cool people. To top it off the weather was amazing! It was one of my favorite shows on the tour so far, for sure!

Day Nine - 08/29 Day off! Pig, Pat, Dusk and Street Jesus headed to Chicago while we went back to Milwaukee. It was a pretty gangster day for us, we spent a few hours in a book store, then a few hours at Lake Michigan then headed over to a friends house to get some sleep on the floor. Also Bliss shot a few people.

Day Ten - 08/30 Day off! Headed to Michigan where we have a friend in Ann Arbor who was nice enough to let us crash at her place for a few days. Ann Arbor is a nice city. It's a college town, they have some cool bars and a 24 hour arcade! We checked out the Blind Pig which was Kurt Cobain's favorite place to play before Nirvana got big. Awesome bar! They had $1 PBR's and needles to say I had a few of those.....

Day Eleven 08/31 Day off! Chilled in Ann Arbor. Did laundry, which is fun to do when you are on the road haha. Got a few other things done on line and took it easy. Tried to do some swimming but we got to the pool a bit late.

We have a few open mic's we are going to check out tonight, then we start up with the shows again tomorrow! We are hoping to get some videos from these last few shows up on you tube soon.

Peace!
