(12:24pm) -- Go time! Saturday morning was greeted with my rising out of bed and treating myself to an excellent Waffle House send-off breakfast. We hit the road around 11:30am after removing t-shirts and rolling up pant legs to cope with the heat, preserving our freshly showered bodies which will likely not claim that status for some time.
First stop—Wichita, Kansas for the LIV Music Festival all afternoon and night. Other bands on this bill include our friends Student Film, French Horn Rebellion, Split-Lip Rayfield, among others. We’re off to a good start with a day off tomorrow before two week’s worth of shows across the Midwest! After that we have a three day home-break followed by four weeks out to the west coast. Getcho freak-on, ‘Merica.
Total distance driven: 179.1sm

(11:43pm) -- Wil and I saw an incredible shooting star tonight while sitting on a curb after the show, the kind that almost makes you think it’s an airplane it moves so slowly across the sphere. Had we not witnessed it’s blowing into pieces I might have gone on thinking it was a satellite or airliner. The performance was great, awesome stage and awesome sound. I restrung my bass last night, too—it’s hard to beat brand new strings. Hospital Ships from Lawrence were definitely the best band I got to see tonight. This whole outdoor festival atmosphere means we get to call it a night at 11pm and move on. That’s a big change from some cities, which send you on the road around 2am. We’re currently in the car en-route to Lawrence where we have a place to stay with an old friend. Thanks, Steve!
Sunday holds a full day off in the town and nobody is going to let it pass. Love Garden Records, coffee shops, and the many awesome places Lawrence holds will receive our visits throughout the day. Man, Lawrence is great!
--Life on the line continues!
