i think that's the 1st TIMe that someone besides me has ever mentioned this state on this message board. yeah, it does suck up here, and it's still basically winter, but it's good if you don't want 6 million people living around you. our biggest city:Fargo. with the massive population of 75,000! yep, man can i get off of a subject or what?

We actually played in Moorhead MN which appears to be like a sister city to Fargo. On the map it looks like they are the same city in 2 different states. Rew would really disagree about Wall SD. I really like SD. Especially the badlands and Crazy Horse Monument. When we drove thru there Rew took me to Wall, which I had never been too. There was a big biker rally the day we were there. We had a blast. Rew says to remember ND and SD are different states, there are lots of things to do in SD and fuck-all to do in ND, unless you like ice fishing.

Sturgis, South Dakota has the big bike rally every year.
My mind is silly, everyTIMe I read about the short tour I think about the shortbus! Patrick did you take the shortbus to the HOB show that had a short set on the short tour? Say that 3 TIMes fast. LOL! I can't.

To make a long story short, the town of Wall South Dakota was directly responsible for 3 very tired guys driving non-stop, 32 hours, from Yellowstone to Chicago last summer. Here were my thoughts on Wall from that night (note I am the one with the angellic looking hand and the one taking a proverbial steamer on the welcome sign). That place can still suck my ass.
Edit: Took out the pictures and put them below.

Edit: Added many pictures for visual help. Very sorry to those on dialup :)
Ok Fluffy... if you want the whole story, here you go... but it wasn't JUST Wall... Wall was the catalyst, or maybe the straw that broke the camel's back so to speak... so this will go a little past that and take us into Chicago. So this will be long, but here comes a 32 hour excerpt from our road trip...
Well, this story starts in Yellowstone.
Here are a couple of random Yellowstone pictures.
After a few unbelievable days of camping, seeing the sights, deep talks around the campfire, hiking, and being one with nature, we loaded up the van (now fully equipped with 8-ball antenna and bull horns bungee chorded to the front grille) to head on to see Mount Rushmore.
Here is the Big Red Bull. At this point I think we had made extict several species of insect with our driving. I can't remember if this was before or after the bird... but yes, we hit a bird as well. We think.
A close up of the horns and the bugs.
Since it was about 6 a.m. when we left, there was nothing open. We happened upon an unsuspecting Pizza Hut at about 10:50 when we realized that they have a pizza buffet. They didn't open until 11, but it was well worth the wait. We destroyed that restaurant. We left them in shambles. The 3 of us alone must have killed half their inventory for the day... and all was good. Time to move on.
A random picture from the van on the way to Rushmore.
Well we made it to Rushmore just as the sun was going down (unfortunately my 'nose picking' shot didn't quite come out) and we stayed for the lighting ceremony.
Rushmore... and the failed nose picking shot. That is Matt on the right and Joe on the left.
Some time around 9-9:30ish we decided to call it a day and headed down the mountain to Rapid City to stay for the night. Well, Rapid City South Dakota was going to have no part of us. We spent over an hour going from place to place trying to find a vacancy. There wasn't one to be found in the entire freakin' town (we were in desperate need of a room with a shower at this point, after 3 days of showerless hiking and camping). When I say not one vacancy, I mean this literally. So we consulted our trusty road atlas and realized that there was NOTHING (AND I MEAN FUCKING NOTHING!!!) between us and the other side of South Dakota except for one lonely, solitary, and oh so promising town called Wall. It was a 40 mile drive from where we were and we were all exhausted, but it was our only choice. So we took it like men and hoped for the best.
We arrived in Wall some time around 11 and thus began our search for a room. It's amazing how time passes when you park your van and walk from one motel to another to find nothing but "no vacancy" signs, locked doors, and snide bastards behind desks telling us to get lost because there were no rooms in the entire town. After our "seek and destroy foot soldier attack" proved unfruitful, we got back in the van and started to drive around the rest of the town to find the remaining motels. We literally exhausted every option in that entire god forsaken town except one. We finally came to the last one and it was the single greatest shithole you've ever seen. The word "dungeon" comes to mind. To our upturning luck, it wasn't locked, nor did it have a sign that told us to 'fuck off because there aren't any rooms' before we even asked for a room. So we go inside and ring the bell. After a short pause, out walks the definition of sketchy... matted hair, untrimmed beard, missing teeth, wearing a robe, and a big wad of something (god knows what) in his mouth (this at about 12:30 now). We ask this mass of human bewilderment how much for a room, and the guy says $110. We said, "$110 for this place? You've got to be kidding. It's 12:30. Nobody in their right mind would pay you $110 to stay here tonight. What can you do for a better price?" We bickered back and forth for a minute but this fucker wasn't budging, and I'll be damned if we were going to pay that much to stay in this shithole, with money running short, when we paid $69/night to stay at the MGM Grand in the heart of Las Vegas. He said he was going to sleep, and we told him that meant that he was throwing away business if he didn't let us stay for something less... he said no. We left.
At that moment it became abundantly clear that no matter how badly we needed a place to crash for the night, this little peafuck town in the middle of nowhere wasn't going to provide us with one. I mean, honestly... what are the chances of a place in the middle of South Da'fuckin'kota being so crowded with tourists that not a single room is available without coughing up your right testicle to pay for it? Not only that... but it was 40 miles away from Rushmore. 40 MILES!!! I can understand Rapid City being crowded because it is immediately AT Mt. Rushmore. But Wall... There was no excuse for Wall. Well... the realization set in that the next place that we would even remotely be able to stay in was across the other side of the state, and given that we wouldn't be there for hours and hours there was no point to pay for a room when we were only going to stay for a few hours before we would have to leave to stay on schedule! Things were going through our minds very slowly at this point so it took us a while to realize that it was either sleep in the van, or just keep going until we hit our next destination. Well... CHICAGO HERE WE COME!
At this point we were very upset with Wall. We could have had it so nice that night... so easy... if only that fucking town weren't so damn crowded and filled with hellspawn excuses for humans called locals. So we took the van over to the one remaining open business... the gas station which was right across the street from the welcome sign. We went in... had a swordfight in the bathroom... came out. My buddy Joe decided to take first shift driving so he walked around for a few minutes to grab some energy boosting shit in the store... my buddy Matt and I stood at the magazine section and looked through some dirty porn. They had a magazine that was strictly nude spy-photos of celebrities... hehe... it was cool. Anyway, Joe decided that it would be best if he try to "drop the deuce" before we left, so Matt and I went outside to get some fresh air and rant our newfound hatred for Wall. With camera handy it became apparent that we would want to remember this moment, so we gave the welcome sign a big "FUCK YOU" and I snapped a picture with the birdies flying. I then decided that since I love to say "for me to poop on," it was a great opportunity for me to 'poop on' Wall. I walked over to the sign, unzipped... ass cheeks flapping in the wind and made a good squinty face. The picture is classic, at least to me. Joe came out, 5 pounds lighter, and now refreshed with power bars and electrolyte drinks... and we were off.
The 'angry' photos of Wall... I'm the one taking a sheisse on the welcome sign.
Well, good times in the van would ensue as you can imagine how one's intellect and maturity levels are affected by the delirium of lack of sleep mixed with what was coming up on 24 hours of straight driving. We drove all night until the sun started to come up. We were in Minnesota when the sun began to rise and it was foggy as all hell. At this point we had to sleep in shifts because we were too exhausted to stay awake. Somehow, some 32 hours after we left Yellowstone, we managed to get to Chicago in the middle of rush hour. Let me tell you, that city has some seriously fucked up highways. You pay tolls everywhere, and you can see the exits, but you can't get off the highway to get to them. Anyway, after another hour or two of traffic, we finally made our way to the outskirts of the city into a nice area and found a hotel (with ease  ). We showered... we collapsed... but we had conquered. That night we decided to just take it easy and leave the sightseeing to the next day since we had made up plenty of time by driving straight from Yellowstone, and we fealt we deserved a relaxing evening. Dinner at with the Italians and seeing Planet of The Apes was all it took and we were able to settle down and finally get some sleep.
Here's a picture of Chicago.
But it all comes back to that one god forsaken town... we never would have had to make that ridiculous 32 hour drive if it weren't for Wall, South Dakota. I hate that place.
-Jeff

Sounds like an excellent adventure Jeff, except for the Wall incident. Next TIMe may I suggest that you make reservations..j/k
Now the "for me to poop on" has a whole new meaning! hee hee

Actually, I think it was a good move you didn't stay there. That guy sounds pretty damn creepy to me.

Excellent story Silky, I agree, there are some bass akwards places that don't really need to exist...
Erich, Two things: 1st I wanted to say that looks like a good list so far: I'm going to see Santana in Vienna in a couple days (me being in Austria and all) and I plan on catching the Marley, Crow, Train show in Albuquerque when I return to the states so I let you know how those are - Next I wanted to ask you if you know for a fact that a recording exists for the Albuquerque, NM 99 Tim and Dave show - I left a message on the Taping/Trading board about that a while ago, but I see you've been busy.
Peace Be With

Yikes, thats quite a story! Thanks for sharing. and Thanks for posting the cool pics.
Going back to the concert subject... this month was definetely my greatest month ever for concert expirences. I saw Chris Whitley, Greg Howard, and Tim 3 times! I also saw Medeski Martin & Wood last month.
As far as the summer goes, the only shows I have planned so far are Ozzfest and Guster, both in August.

Silky what a trip. I particularly like the glowing hand indicating that Wall is "number one."

You know.....I just said that to be funny. I've never been to either of the Dakotas and I said to myself....."Self.....what state can I use in which no one would be offended?.....South Dakota"....and the legend was born.
