Yesterday was an event filled, crazy first day on the road. After leaving the Seattle gig at the Russian Center, Glenn, Solomon, Kevin and I headed back to Glenn's apartment to load the van and trailer. This included moving an upright piano through tight doors and down an elevator and putting it on casters with just three guys at 3:00+ in the morning. After loading everything we hit the road at 6:00am and started our 12 hour drive to Bozeman, MT. We took turns sleeping in the van and sleeping at the wheel. It was a fairly uneventful drive save this sign we found in Mullen, MT.
I was driving as we got closer to the venue in Bozeman. We had a choice of routes. We decided to take the shorter, but slower route to save on gas. Bad choice... this route included a extremely bumpy gravel road that no doubt put our piano more out of tune. Right before we turned down this unfortunate path, I got pulled over. Turns out it was just the front left head light was out.

Here are some photos from the dance. The final head count was around 100.
We stayed in guest homes last night. Brian and Amanda were quite hospitible.
We're now on our way to Salt Lake City, UT! And we've had very scarce cell service and internet.
No jokes today... I'm too tired.
Over and out,
Mark
