Show Journal 1999-08-07
Day 1 – Tour number two started off with a long drive, almost 900 miles to be exact. The first show is in Pierre, so it’s two days of straight driving until Pierre. We started off the sightseeing extravaganza with a trip to the Stonehenge replica in Washington. I think we must have upset a higher power, because when we crossed into Montana there was a wild freakish hailstorm that appears to have dented the roof of the van. We think it could have been due to the fact that Jim spoke Bolthrower’s name in vain. After the storm we had the 800 Octane “save money on tour” ritual of eating MRE’s … US Army meals in a bag that can last upwards of 20 years. Yum. After that it was downhill with hundreds of miles of ‘your mama’ jokes … the best one being something about having to “cover her ears so she can’t hear all of the terrible things I’m saying to her.” Night one started with sleep in a truck stop. The beard of shame contest has begun as well.
