The time between an attempt to flood all the equipment in a muddy field of cilantro and this cool, sunny San Francisco morning has held 5 very successful shows. Santa Barbara, SLO, Santa Cruz and Davis have all been conquered in DEN fashion and we've made enough gas money to get this far.
Touring in a Suburban with no Air Conditioning was predicated upon the anticipation of the lack of any heat wave in September. Hindsight hits like tube sock full of quarters when the car thermometer reaches 110 degrees when sitting in bumper to bumper traffic. This happens soon after a quick stop to purchase another cigarette lighter power inverter in an attempt to run an xbox and a tv in the car (we may have spent as much money on this setup as we would have to get the air conditioning fixed, but funds are slim and priorities take priority). We still have yet to successfully run our intra-suburban entertainment center for more than 5 minutes without blowing a fuse.
So, in support of the title of this post, here's a list of things I've learned thus far:
-some whisky is cheaper than water
-whisky is not a cure for dehydration
-whisky is not a substitute for sleep
-when faced with several half full bottles of different whisky brands, and limited car space, a blend can be made without much degradation to the taste of the whisky
-do not try to hook up the electronics on your trailer when whisky is involved (the white wire is always the ground, and even though there's a little white wire hanging from underneath the bumper of your car, if you match those colors, you will possibly end up blowing about 4 brake light fuses, driving 250 miles without brake lights, then spending only about 3 minutes fixing it when you find a mechanic who knows what they're talking about.
And here's some scenes from the road thus far:
