So, continuing with the retro, I’m finally releasing all of our pics from the ill-fated Kansas tour from last summer. It was hot, it was cramped. We had a “new” van and it died within 10 days. Yep. When it finally died, Veller said it sounded like there was a bag of spoons in the engine. C’est la vie.
The “New” van
The Love Nest
On the road. It’s hot in there. No AC.
The 6th chair. Without it, we’d be fucked.
Veller pre-showing it, in front of The Bottleneck – Lawrence, KS
The sink that Evan “showered” in. Upstairs at The Bottleneck.
Dr. Bashful in The Bottleneck Green Room
Some unknown rest stop (aka our hotel room)
Matt’s definitely a morning person.
Drying the sweat from last night’s show.
Veller and Sears looking tough
Charlie, 8am, pre-coffee, pissed.
Charlie, 9am, post-coffee, still pissed.
The Keeper of The Toothpicks
Veller, upon learning that the van hath died.
We found this butterfly still switching in the grill of the van after we broke down. We we’re not sure which was sadder, the butterfly maiming, or the fact that we would not be able to get home.
Evan attempting to save the van
Charlie, also doing his part to save the van.
Evan still trying to save the van.
Evan giving up and pushing the van.
It was so hot that we couldn’t touch the actual metal.
Pushing the van 2 miles.
This is the dude who fed us that night.
We ended up being saved by Gracie Lou who rented a van at O’Hare and drove it 200 miles south to come and rescue us. We had to leave Veller and Russ behind because they wouldn’t fit. Good times.
