Van Helsing
10/27/07 – 6 PM – On the road to Bend
We said goodbye to Tim and Kim this morning after we ate the delicious breakfast they prepared for us. We know we've really lucked out when we get not just couches but beds, and not just beds but breakfast. Then we headed southeast towards Bend. The scenery is beautiful – the sun sinking behind distant purple mountains, winding roads overlooking orange gorges, vast brown fields on either side. There was one ridge that looked just like the one where Luke and Obi-Wan stood and overlooked Mos Eisley spaceport. However, I was somewhat disappointed when we stopped at a gas station somewhere near Warm Springs and we had to pump our own gas. WTF, Oregon?
10/28/07 - 11:30 AM - Beth's house in Eugene
Our van stopped running on the way to Bend last night. We made it to Bend, but we didn't get to play. We aren't going to make it to Arcata tonight. We've never had to cancel a show before, and we're really bummed about it. Hopefully the van will get fixed tomorrow, it won't be too expensive (fat chance), and we'll play the last three shows of the tour. Heartfelt apologies to the folks who wanted to see us in Bend and Arcata - we wanted to see you, too. And we will eventually.
In better news, we've added a Pittsburgh homecoming show on Saturday, Nov. 10th w/ Casiotone for the Painfully Alone. Details on the shows page.
