Seriously. Have you ever been to Missouri or Kansas? F-L-A-T. And has anyone noticed that the phrase “Toto, I’ve a feeling we’re not in Kansas anymore” contains not one, but TWO band names in it? Toto and Kansas! Fantastic.

We had a day off in Austin after we played, and went to what might have been the strangest place I’ve ever been. As we approached what seemed like a pool, with lifeguard stands, diving board, etc, we found that there was plantlife and salamanders living in the pool, and that the pool was in fact just part of a river that they made seem like a pool. We swam in it, and it was great. Nothing like swimming in the desert while your home state is being destroyed by snow storms. 

In Dallas we played 3 on 3 sunset parking lot football against the Postelles, and I am very sad to say that we lost, 2-1, in what has come to be known as the Great Day of Shame. I don’t really even want to say anything else about it, actually. Just forget it. 

In Kansas City there was a bookstore next to the venue that sold books for crazy cheap, so some of us bought some books for crazy cheap. See the problem with book stores is that 1) you get overwhelmed really quickly, 2) you want to buy everything, forgetting that you already have a huge pile of “books-to-read”, and believing for some reason that you’ll fly through these books, when really, you don’t even know how to read and you only collect them because the bright covers and spines contrast your rich mahogany bookshelves nicely. I mean, am I right?? …guys??

Today we just drove. All day. There’s going to be a lot of that coming up.
