First night of tour complete.


Hello,
Minneapolis is awesome. Last night we played a very fun house show. Thanks to Jackie and everyone else at the The Forest of Solid Dudes (working title).
Today we ate lunch at Midtown Global Market. Robert had a gyro and some falafel. Sara had pho with beef and I had teriyaki chicken. All of it was very yummy, plus there was a jazz trio playing in the dining area. From there we went to Encore Music Shop and saw some sweet guitars and other items out of our price range. Same story at Twin Towns Guitars down the street. At least I got to play a $3000 Hiwatt and a Hagstrom Viking. Both were everything I'd hoped they'd be. Sara played a Musicmaster that had a Jazzmaster pickup in the bridge; it was a treat. We drove around and saw some of the city before landing at Sauce Spirit and Sound Bar, the club we will play tonight. Should be a fun show followed by a night of utter debauchery involving hair mayonnaise (a real item we found at a family dollar here).
Next stop is Madison, Wisconsin.
Tour is neat.
