Review:
If you were planning on catching us on our "One State Mini-Tour," then you missed your chance. And if you were planning on catching us on our "World Tour," you missed your chance for that too because it was the same tour, depending on who you asked. Perhaps someday we'll venture from the confines of Nebraska again, but until then, we'll just remember how crazy the last tour was.
And when we say crazy, we mean crazy. First of all, the day we left we had to get up at 7:30 in the morning, load all our gear into our tour mini-van and our tour Explorer, and then drive all morning to Storm Lake, IA. Once we got there, we unloaded the gear and stole some breakfast from the Buena Vista University cafeteria...because that's what real rock stars do. As we ate our free breakfast, we debated whether or not we could actually play on the stage that was setup because of its lack of size. Originally, we had so little room that we were all setup in a line, drums included, and if you took one step forward you were off of the stage. But it turned out to be "all good" as they say, because the great SAB staff at BVU talked to some people, who knew some people, who just brought us more stage like an hour before the show started.
Think that's good?... just wait...it gets better. At the same time people were scrambling to find us a stage, Connealy was scrambling to find some pants...that's right, pants. And no, it's not because he was with some groupie the night before and he couldn't remember where they were...it was because he sat down in a chair that had syrup on it, thus making a large stain on his pants that looked like...well, like he had bowel troubles. Luckily, he didn't have wear his syrup pants on stage and was able to borrow some jeans from a friend of ours in Storm Lake.
If anyone remembers how the show went, e-mail us, because really we don't remember...all we could think about was Connealy's pants...which is just wrong on so many levels.
