Minneapolis
Minneapolis is a lot further away from Milwaukee than we thought. We got in right when we had to load in and never got a chance to stop at any of the 600 water parks we passed on I-94.
The show was at a venue called 7th Street Entry which is attached to a larger and quite famous venue called First Avenue. If you ever go to Minneapolis you’ll hear that parts of Purple Rain were filmed there,...
Milwaukee
On Monday we got into Milwaukee a couple hours early. The only bar open near the venue was called Club ‘99. Maria, the owner’s mother, was working behind the bar and she had a lot of questions for us. The bar had 16 oz High Life pints for $1.50 and $5 shots of Patron.

Chicago

We got put on a show at the 7th Street Entry in Minneapolis tonight. If you have any friends in Minneapolis tell them to come out. 5 bucks! Guided By Voices is playing the big room, maybe we’ll get to hang out?
Played a rager last night straight out of a 90’s high school rom-com with Lionel O and Hot Trash (can’t find a link!). Some girl fell into Karlina’s drums and we received our first heckle ever from a 17 year old who apparently wanted to hear some Black Flag.
Heading to Cleveland (“the mistake on the lake”) to picnic near lake Erie while we wait for our show at the...
