tour 3.06
Wednesday, May 29 1996 Denver
Carol - Roman made eggs and bacon for everyone for breakfast. the smell of grease was everywhere and it woke me up. the guys who live there were blasting horrible music. that doorman dude hooked me up with an eighth of weed for $20. today is the first day i felt pretty normal in days. Matt got sick when i got better. he went to the van to lie down. i cleaned up the van a little. it was a lovely day. it started to rain late afternoon. we drove to Wichita, Kansas. it was a 10 hr drive. Roman drove the whole way becuz Matt was sick. Kansas is flat and same. no matter how much you drive it feels like you are where you were 5 hours ago. vast endless lands of crops and shit. Kansas is boring. this place made me go insane more than any other place I’ve been on this tour. the van is acting up again.

Kirby’s Beer Store
Matt - Wow, Man. Irish Coffees; just playing to a few people and nobody, but these people are there and there was this girl with black hair.
Z - This place holds about thirty people and it still felt empty. We drank so much.
C - we arrived in Wichita, Kansas early in the morning. i was asleep. Matt woke me up and we drove to some Native American museum but it cost $2, out of our budget. so me & Matt sat around by the river while Zeph and Roman slept in the van. we drove to another park and pretty much spent the rest of the afternoon hanging out at the park. we went to a Chinese restaurant in downtown. Matt and Zeph had the buffet and i ordered shrimp and vegetables. the food tasted weird. i guess you can’t expect authentic Chinese flavor when you are in Wichita, Kansas. oh, and they forgot to put shrimp in my shrimp and vegetables. go figure. i took some pictures of the sculptures made out of tree trunks in the park. they are all over Wichita for some reason. some paranoid redneck asshole thought Matt was gay and wanted to start with him.
Roman hung out by himself all day long wondering around. he borrowed $5. we got to the club/bar and there were some people there. it was right next to the university. the band that played before us were a bunch of cock suckers who played cock sucking bad ass cock rock. their girlfriends made up the majority of the audience. they sat at the table right in front of the stage shit faced and horny. sluts! anyway, the people at the club were pretty nice to us. the sound guy pulled out a joint after our set and got me & Zeph high. he was pretty nice but weird. he was an old guy. he kept on talking and i got really bored. i don’t remember any of the names of the people i met tonight. i don’t like Kansas. we left for Norman, Oklahoma that night. oh yeah, Roman got high and he did not play very well. he doesn’t really smoke pot so he was really paranoid.
