More Tour Madness

Last night we played The Map Room in South Carolina with Calhoun, and a jam band with approximately three hundred members. Their name had something to do with Fungus I think, and they had THREE saxophones. Pretty impressive.

The Map Room was a cool venue, with great sound, and our good friend Chris Darden brought some of his friends to the show, so it was a good time.

After the show, we went back to Chris's fraternity house, where we gave his brothers some lessons in how to play Halo, Texas style. That means triple kills, followed by brutal trash-talking. The Frontier Brothers possibly have a career waiting for them as professional Halo players if this whole music thing doesn't work out. Joining us for the post-show hangout was Brett Favre's daughter, who was intoxicated, but very friendly. She also, not surprisingly, looks like a female Brett Favre which was pretty funny.

Saving the best for last, we woke up this morning to find the space where we had parked our van and trailor completely empty. I almost passed out when I saw the empty space waiting for us, thinking that ALL of our gear and my car had been stolen. However, (relatively) fortunately, it had only been towed by Turky's Towing, who's slogan on their business card is, "If you need a jerk, call the Turk!"
Our brief experience with them indeed confirmed that they are trying very hard to live up to their slogan, by being humongous assholes to everyone they meet. However, 200 dollars later, our van and trailor were free, whereupon we proceeded to pull up to the front office, honk the horn, and flick off the morbidly obese front office clerk.

After this latest misadventure, Marshall Galactic summed it up best, by coining our new mantra, "If you can't kill us, don't try to stop us!"

We have been through a lot on this tour already, but we ARE going to finish this tour!

We are now well on our way to Raleigh, Durham, where we will proceed to spread the gospel of space to the students of Duke University, and hopefully they will pay us thousands of dollars. That's pretty much the only way this tour has a chance of breaking even.

We will continue trying to keep you guys updated on this crazy adventure we are having...at least until someone steals our computer.
