The drive through Illinois, Wisconsin, and Minnesota was beautiful:
Boring, but beautiful:
We pulled into Minneapolis around 8pm and after getting harassed by an over-zealous parking lot owner, unloaded the equipment at the Nomad World Pub. The venue was long and spacious with a raised stage and basement greenroom. The staff hooked up a case of PBR tall cans for the four bands that played that night and the basement is where we hung out for the majority of the evening.
The bands that played with Flying Machines were The Chelsea Boys, The Van Gobots, and Say Like The French Say. Out of all of them, The Van Gobots really stood out to me, reminding me a lot of Minus The Bear. All the bands being from MPLS, I enjoyed talking with them about local artists P.O.S. and the Doomtree Crew and The Plastic Constellations. Ryan, of course, gushed about Prince. Flying Machines once again put on a solid performance.
I'm having so much fun, but I miss home. We have two days off then it's Iowa City. And so it goes...
