Dez Moynz. (Iowa)

Just finished loading out of the venue, headed to our beds for the night. Really fun show, felt really good to play after 10 hours of driving. Fred updated the setlist in real time in the forums here on the Backstage as the show progressed. He’ll do that for all shows ongoing where we have wireless at the venue, so if you’re curious about what we’re playing as we’re playing it, you can log in here and go to the forums to see the play-by-play. The owners of Java Joe’s want to have us back this fall, and we’ll look forward to it… really cool room (215 capacity) and they just invested in all new sound equipment.

Tomorrow morning we head to Columbus, Ohio… another 10 hour drive. One thing to look forward to is the World’s Largest Truckstop, which we’ll hit on I-80… and we hear that the World’s Largest Cuckoo Clock is somewhere on our route, too (in Ohio).

Here are some pics from tonight… after the show / loading out a few minutes ago:


beers and the coffee man

Catch you in the morning from the road…
