Day 10 – We woke up this morning practically on fire from the heat. Once we got rolling with the AC it was a really nice drive. We ate at a cool diner somewhere in Colorado for lunch. We got to the 15th Street Tavern at 8:00 and were scared for our lives. During the first 5 minutes there was a fight in the restroom while Kevin was stuck in a stall. Apparantly they started hitting each other while Kevin sat frozen hoping the walls would not collapse on him. A few minutes later the two were kicked out and came back in the bar for another round of fighting. One left, went to his car and returned. Kevin and Jim swear he went to get a weapon but they were both evicted before any more fighting ensued. I was scared but the heavy metal friendly jukebox quelled my fears. My knowledge of Iron Maiden lyrics has frightened Jim and Dave. Around 10:00 the bar population started to shift to a much cooler and much less intimidating crowd. The opening band tonight was called ‘Man’ and consisted of one guy who plays bass and a kick drum and sings some of the harshest and most angry songs I’ve ever heard. Man was awesome and we were all very impressed. Our set was so so. We played very aggressively and pretty well but only a handful of people really seemed to enjoy it. It’s frustrating to give so much and get so little. Oh well. That’s life. Another truck stop night.
