we fought the law

the drive from los angeles to chicago was beautiful! especially the san rafael reef in utah. the next day, however, blake and i each got a speeding ticket. our first in yeeeears. blake's in colorado and mine in nebraska - as if in tribute to bruce springsteen's state trooper on his album, nebraska. "mister state trooper, please don't stop me." so many construction zones. it's really, really hard to drive 55 - or even 65. jason flew out. so who knows, maybe we saved ourselves another citation. in any case, we're glad to be here in chicago and are VERY excited for tomorrow's show at schubas with headlights and common loon. hooray. -jd
