July 9 - Westminster, MD

Boy did we have a bad day! Thumper (Bus #4) died about 4:00am. So all of the staff piled on the other three buses. Then we were just outside of Harrisonburg, VA when Herbie (my bus) died. Luckily, Memphis Blues came along. They took some of us and the rest spread out on the remaining two Crossmen busses. We ended up at a Highs Ice Cream Store somewhere in West Virginia. We were going to practice on the parking lot next door, but the guy who owned the place came along and said if we didn't leave he was going to arrest Archie for trespassing (Robbie is is back with bus #4).

We made it to some rest stop on I-70 where Spirit's buses came and got us so we could make the show. We won #7. The horns were HOT! They broke 20 for the first time. Drums did not do so well. On to Allentown. We got Thumper back.
