Day 17 – Well, as much as I hate to see it coming it’s the last drive of the tour. This morning we had to say our goodbyes to Same Day Service and wish them good luck. They are playing one more show in Boulder on the way home I wish we could be there to see them play. Hopefully we will see them again soon. As a parting gesture Dave left a few more stink bombs in their trailer. Best wishes to Maggie, Sarah, Naomi, Lisa and her spleen. They are a really good band and worth a listen to. I wish we could play all our shows with them but they would get sick of us soon enough. The drive home was pretty uneventful. Lots of laughing and reminiscing. I guess to wrap it up the cool thing about tour this year was how smooth it went and how fun it was. Most of the shows went good, we played great, we got gas money at almost every show and managed to laugh pretty much non-stop for the whole trip. In the end the painometer finished a little over 7000 miles. Can’t wait until next year.
