Hello--
well... we made it. after 20 hours..and one breakdown because of lack of gas..thanks carlos.(next time he will listen and not say.. "we can make it..trust me" well.. we were so close.. not close enough. and carlos keeps losing the keys every stop we make...

coffee is a glorious (and simultaneously terrible thing...) on the road. i had burger king coffee, sheetz coffee, Ella's Country Inn Restaurant (a really nice way of saying "multi-use gas station") coffee, subway coffee, black coffee, brown coffee, solidified coffee, textured coffee and the "pass-right-through-you" coffee. you can tell alot about a state by the nature of its coffee service via the gas stations. so far, minnesota has good coffee.
also, as a side note - i spent a good 45 minutes updating my itunes library to have a slam-packed ipod for the trip. i thought to myself - "self, you have 15 hours of consecutive music on your ipod now... i think you are good." as it turns out, 15 hours of consecutive music only works if you have a 15 hour trip or less... for a 20 hour drive... eh... not so much...
working on a couple of hours of sleep at the moment, so suffice to say that we made it to minneapolis and we'll be starting the tour "officially" tomorrow. pictures and videos are going to be updated on the blog nightly (of course we're aiming high with a statement like that) and also on myspace and youtube... once we've managed to wake bill from his coma. so you'll be able to keep tabs on the antics and shananigans and chaos of a bellflur-road trip... officially dubbed the "tetris-tour '07"... a throwback to our needed figuring of how to place 20 cubic feet of equipment into a 15 cubic feet capacity van...
... fyi - it doesn't work well...
casey, carlos and bill (if he were awake) send their love.
until tomorrow!
