What fun we had at our Columbus, Chicago, and Minneapolis shows! Great venues, great times, great friends. In Minneapolis the boys from Howler (and Nice Purse) came by to see us, which was lovely! You may remember Howler from our tour with Tapes ‘n Tapes! Old friends. Old friends. Sat on their park bench like bookends. 

Today we drove from Minneapolis to Billings, Montana. As the title of our entry suggests, it was quite a long trip.

You should know, Montana is B-E-A-YOU-TEE-FUL. Unfortunately we spent the last of the daylight in the part that was still just flatness in all directions. By the time we got to the wondrous foothills, night had fallen and they were mere shadows in the deep black curtain of the fresh dark. Luckily for us, said foothills soon found themselves blanketed in a glowing layer of snow, and the glorious terrain was illuminated right before our very eyes. Oh and we drove by the general region of the Battle of Little Bighorn! American History!

So long story short, greetings from Billings.
