somewhere in middle america (again)

So I had the best burrito of my life the other night. We were in Omaha and played the Sokol Auditorium. The show was a little bit weird, but still fun. After the show we got out of there pretty quick because it was a 9 hour drive to Denver. As we were puling out of the parking lot George said he wanted to eat… we saw a little Mexican place and decided to stop. They were just closing up… 9 minutes left so we ran in and ordered. I got a veggie burrito and some rice milk. No joke, this was the best burrito I’ve ever had… and I’ve had my fair share of burritos. I think I’ve had one kind of Mexican food everyday on this tour so far, I’m pretty much a Mexican connoisseur. Not trying to brag or anything

Today was a day off and we did our laundry and got some more delicious food… the usual. Right now we are driving back to Omaha from Denver… I never thought I would have to make this miserable drive twice in 2 days… but we are about to. Hopefully none of you will have to.

So I’ve been way behind on my television… I haven’t seen the last 3 episodes of The Office or the last 4 of Heroes or even South Park. As amazing as South Park is… I’m pretty glad that I haven’t been home wasting my life watching tv. I’ve been reading and making the most of this tour, just taking it all in. One day at a time. When I watch tv, I feel like I am rushing too much, because you get so much trivial information or just a story all through in this one little 30 minute to 1 hour morsel of time and it just makes everything feel rushed and like things need to happen NOW. When I’m reading I feel fine taking my time, like I have a lifetime to read all the books I want to read, I don’t have to watch 40 episodes in a week or whatever I happen to watch,

Anyway... we have a show in Des Moines tomorrow, hopefully it wil sell out, I’m looking forward to it, we haven’t played Des Moines in a while. We missed it on our headlining tour in September when we had to cancel, so it’s good to be coming back.

I’m pretty pumped for thanksgiving as well… I’m going to go eat with Nicole’s family and then hopefully get down to see my family at Aunt Ruth and Uncle Lenny’s house for a bit.
