travel log stardate 020042608 goldstar the long road Special thanks to pattern is movement, the silence, the new blind nationals, and the venue in Milwaukee for making my last show of the tour very fun and magical. I wish I could have hung out with them some more.
It was incredibly difficult to leave my compatriots at the bus station in Milwaukee at 4 in the morning. Matt with 50 bones to his name and rushing to catch the bus at that. After they got on the bus I had to stare at Matt on the bus and convince myself that they were going to be ok, and that it was ok for me to leave. It took about 20 or so minutes to convince myself.
Then with 2 hours of sleep I was back to Minni, Minn to stay with Adria and finally get a good nights rest. We went to the Mississippi river and watched the boats go through the locks and had a general good time. It is hard to believe one of my favorite people in the whole world lives so far from me now. As usual, the good ones always leave, don't they?
I left Minni, Minn yesterday at 2pm and arrived here in Missoula at 8pm MN time. I have driven 1500 miles in the last three days and have just under 600 to go. So I thought I'd stop off here to stretch my legs.
God damn Montana is beautiful. I am considering cashing in all my gear and buying a horse to live on the range. What do you think? Would I make a good cowgirl? Who the hell would I sing to?
Everything has been pretty smooth on the drive (knocks on wood.) When I drove through Yellowstone a truck had hit a baby black bear. I am sad for the bear but happy I didn't have to be the one to find the thing in the road.
I'm going to get some food and get back on the road. Don't think I'll make it home tonight, though.
Tim and Matt, wherever you may be, take care of yourselves and stay focused. Ash, I'm gonna need you when I get home. I am sore!
See (most of you) soon! Love, labryntina crampypants.
ps The leaves have begun to turn. Favorite tour quote: "Tim, am I going to explode?"
