I am a big fan of both The Ataris and Nothington, and guess what? They are playing the Soda Bar TONIGHT (September 7)!!!
Midwest Missile Tour Days Fifteen & Sixteen: Northern Exposure
Living on the road for this long starts to become a lifestyle. Don’t get me wrong, I will be very happy to get home to San Diego and sleep in my own bed! Sleeping on hotel room beds and air mattresses while being serenaded by a choir of snorers gets old real quick. I will…
Midwest Missile Tour Day Fourteen: Iowa State Fair Missed Out!
Welcome to day 14 of the Midwest Missile tour! I woke up early today to catch the train from Palatine to Chicago. I had a great breakfast including waffles, strawberries, and coffee at Kathleen’s with her family and Laurie before taking off. Kathleen drove me to the station where I bought my ticket from a…
Midwest Missile Day Thirteen: Wrigley Field
America is famous for rock n’ roll, as well as it’s pastime, baseball. We were lucky enough to get to see Busch Stadium but even luckier to see the great Wrigley Field. Sure the game was worse than a little league game played by blind monkeys but that’s what I’m told is the real Cubs…
Midwest Missile Day Thirteen: Cami’s Day in Chicago

Midwest Missile Tour Day Nine to Twelve: Let’s Get Weird!
Finally the day arrived. One of the highlights of the tour was the chance, no the honor, no better yet, the privilege to play with Chicago Irish punk rockers The Fisticuffs! First, and foremost we want to thank Tony (the drummer) and his fiancé Sara for letting us stay at their really nice pad out…
Midwest Missile Tour Day Eight: Indianapolis, Indianapolis
Today we’re heading to Indianapolis, Indiana after a couple days in St. Louis, MO. It was a nice break to have a couple days to check out St. Louis. We woke up bright and early at 7:30 a.m. to hit the road. We still see a lot of corn, but there is more civilization like…
Midwest Missile Tour Day Seven: Tour Tattoos
Over a year ago, after practice we decided if we ever went on a national tour we would get a tour tattoo around Kansas saying “We’re Not In Kansas Anymore”. Don’t ask me why we chose this, it is as absurd now as it was then. Nevertheless, a week before the tour became a reality,…
Midwest Missile Tour Day Six: Let’s Go Cardinals (for a day)!
