As expected, westward travel has brought wintery conditions. We haven't yet played a show on this tour and we've already fallen victim to the ice and snow covering Kansas and Colorado, respecively. As we sit here, comfortably lounging in Matt Braslow's l new house in Boulder, CO, we feel greatly blessed to be warm and safe. Our transport thus far has been hellish but certainly could've been much worse.
Ten miles down I-70 West of Colby, KS where we stopped for lunch, Zach, perhaps driving a bit too fast for the conditions, swerved on the ice and banked The Lesbian Segal (our tour van) in two feet of snow, hitting a mile-marker head on and landing, albeit safely, 15 feet wide of the highway. It took 90 minutes, $110, 3 different tow trucks and 2 Kansas State Troopers to dig the Segal and "Black Justice" (our equipment trailer) back out onto the road.
