September 12th
Our drive to Kansas went really well and we had an entire day to explore Lawrence before our performance at the Jackpot Saloon. There’s a school there, and all of downtown is squished onto one long street.
On the campus of the University of Kansas
Jonathan: (To Brian, Matt) You guys notice how quiet everyone here is ? No one is talking…
(All walk thru a busy section of the sidewalk where people are waiting for a bus. No one is speaking)
Brian: You’re right…
Jonathan: I mean even right now I’m whispering. It’s kind of creepy …
Brian: Are we in a science fiction story?
(Man walks by, talking very quietly on phone, an air siren sounds, he stops)
Jonathan: (towards air horn)… sanctuary, sanctuary…
Matthew: They can sense that we are outlanders. I just know it.
Brian : We’re doomed…
Matthew: (points with finger, in high pitched squeal) EEEEEH!
Back at the hotel, Lawrence Kansas
Mike: (Eating a Dominoes pizza made out of Oreos) So how did your day go today, guys?
Jonathan: It was all right. There was a dam. We almost drowned.
Mike: Really?
Jonathan: Yes. The doors open without any warning. We were in the middle of the river. Do you know how long a dog will bark at you when you’re whistling?
Brian: Plus Matt saw a hawk attack a bald eagle.
Zac: (to Matthew) Is that even allowed ?
Matthew: Apparently.
Jonathan: They bark for a long time.
Mike: (pointing at his pizza) This is pretty good…hey, have you guys ever seen the movie, “Bats?”
