Greg and Salihah waking up at the hotel in Des Plaines.

Our bus window was smashed the night prior when it was parked out in Oak Lawn. Some crack head thought it’d be worthwhile to do this so he could grab $15 in toll money sitting on the dash. So we had to take it in for repair the next morning before we could drive to the next show in Milwaukee. So I booked us a hotel near the repair center the night before so we could at least get some rest and not have to troll around in a bus garage all morning. Lots and lots and lots of things could have gone wrong. Luckily everything went incredibly and unexpectedly smooth and we had little to no stress getting everything straight.

Also aren’t these two cute?

Salihah, Greg, the passenger in the accident, and Nikki look on at the wreckage.

Salihah did this quick sketch of Bazan at the Waffle House.

We left Philadelphia today with the our newly painted bus, packed to the bays with gear, merch and veggie oil. Aaron and Salihah did a really great job doing all the decorative painting to the outside. I wonder if people will be surprised to see dudes walking out of this beast wearing Northface Jackets and Phillies caps. We couldn’t look more hippie-ish for a bunch of “bros” as Salihah put it.
