Minneapolis, MN (part 2)

It took us 26 hours to travel from Connecticut to Minnesota. A large portion of the journey through the Midwest was plagued by blizzard-like conditions. We followed trucks all night since they cleared the falling snow with the amount of air they displaced.

Although we spent a good 9 hours only traveling 40mph across a snow strew interstate, we still made it to the first venue on time. A crew of roadies helped unload all of our gear and we received our all-access, backstage passes. We checked out our green room which was stocked with beer, water, a giant plasma tv and comfy couches. We settled in and started taking showers in the suprisingly clean and elegant shower.

We performed a sound check and set up our merch. At 629, the house lights and house music came down. We played our hearts out for 30 short minutes. People danced, jumped and went crowd surfing. We made new fans and friends, signed some autographs and took some pictures with people.

  1. My friend Todd and I were at this show and got a chance to talk with you guys after your set and hang out a bit on and off for the rest of the evening. It was a blast...you guys will have to make it back as soon as you can.

    Oh...and if you think Michigan was cold...it's been -20 here all week.

    Good luck Tip the Van!
