DAY 2:

9am—I wake up to Tyler screaming. Nothing’s wrong…that’s just how he likes to wake up. 

Last night, at around 12:30AM, we were driving 30 mph through a complete white-out, so we decided to find a motel and sleep. 

This morning, I-80 is speckled with cars and trucks that skidded off the road, so I’m glad we stopped and got a hotel when we did. 

Bus update: Things are running pretty smoothly. We’ve only had three mini scares with the “Service Engine Soon” light, a terrible burning smell, and one of those “uh…I can’t accelerate right now, the pedal’s not responding” moments. SO, everything is COOL!

Thanks to our faithful bus manager (and bass player) Christian Carpenter, who got a hitch installed on the back of the bus before we left Ann Arbor, we’re pulling a U-Haul trailer filled with our equipment. Now that the bus is so spacious, Mike (the drummer) decided to rig a fancy little personal theater system for the passengers. How creative!

Here’s a little vid showcasing the fabulous continental breakfast we had at one of the fanciest Super 8 Motel’s we’ve ever seen (seriously)…httpv://www.youtube.com/watch?v=h7OUwkc3jW0
