Martial Arts Dance. (Crete, Nebraska)

Wednesday, September 8 – 2:49am Crete, Nebraska time
Greetings from the Super 8 Motel in Crete, NE. Anton and I arrived an hour or so ago, after an easy 80 mph-cruise-control-on-the-entire-way drive from Boulder. We took a spin around this small town (6k people) tonight, looking for the hotel. Seems like a funny little place – a giant factory at one end of town, some train tracks, and Doane College (where we play tomorrow) at the other end. Definitely a western agricultural feel to it, with feed stores and a Walmart dominating the commercial scene. It was amazing to see how far East the smoke from the Boulder Fourmile fire has gone… we were well past civilization in Eastern Colorado tonight and still seeing the smoke line.

We play at noon tomorrow in the Campus Center, evidently a place where the students go for lunch, so there should be a nice little built-in crowd. Doane is a tiny school of maybe 1,500 kids or so. We met them and booked this show through the St. Paul college booking convention covered in some earlier road journal entries.

Okay – bed time… more tomorrow after the show. We’ll leave you with a photo from downtown Crete:
