Show Journal 2002-11-09
The drive to Pullman was really long and really boring. We had never been to Pullman before and were duped by Mapquest into thinking it was a shorter drive. To pass the time we watched movies, insulted Dan and listened to Justin belch for the better part of the drive. You can always tell when Justin falls asleep because the burping stops and a sense of peace comes over the van. Then suddenly it begins again and you realize he has awakened. The show itself was cool because a) it ran smoothly b) there was a decent crowd and c) we all got free cake. I felt like we played well but it’s hard to tell sometimes in a new location with a crowd that’s never even heard of you. It was definitely fun though and that’s all that counts. The drive home was not as fun though. Dave drove the last leg of the trip. As he got more and more tired his driving was becoming more and more erratic … crossing lanes, slowing down and speeding up, etc. We offered to drive but he refused telling us it wasn’t much farther to Tri-Cities. Finally Dave pulls over and throws in the towel saying he couldn’t drive anymore because he was seeing things. “Seeing things” I inquired? Dave mentioned that he thought he has seen “a large group of cats crossing the road”. Suddenly I felt much better that I was driving. Literally after about two minutes behind the wheel we reached a truck stop, pulled in and called it a night. I slept maybe two hours tops and out of sheer boredom got up and decided to start driving. It was nice to actually see the Gorge in the daytime for a change. Thanks to Yotes for having us play. Even bigger thanks to Dalene and her crew for finding us the show and promoting it!
