the road back to the east

just a quick update on where we are at the moment. from san francisco we hit lake tahoe. lake tahoe is a beautiful area but not much of a seen for busking on a Monday night. we looked for the Godfather house but couldn't see it from where we were. after tahoe we headed for salt lake city. once again beautiful town but not much busking going on for a tuesday night. our next stop was to be Boulder. Boulder was awesome. We set a new record beating out the previous San Fran record and made several new friends one of which put us up for the night (much appreciated Justin) which made the search for a campsite at 1 am unnecessary. the next day we played another short session and went on our way through nebraska and iowa on an all day drive. we wanted to play Iowa city but we did not make it in time given our scheduled show in chicago. I have to say given our recent trek back and forth across the midwest i feel less concerned with over-population. there really is a lot of blank space out there if you are feeling crowded. Our chicago show went great at the Charleston where we also ran into several ashevillans and cafe on the square employees. thanks again for driving all the way to chicago just to see us... that's real support folks. we took the next day off for once to relax and recharge and the following day we hit Lincoln Square in chicago just down the street from a folk festival that was going on and did really well. i guess that is about it for chicago we are headed for ann arbor michigan tomorrow. if you know anyone there tell them to look for the speedsquare handi-van.
take care and thanks for checking in
