take a bus it will be much cheaper, i guarantee it guys! Or if you have a station wagon or something that will sleep 4 men comfortably thats your ticket to ride.

Sorry, crazy8's, but that post sounded Uber Gay.
DrumandDestroy, i may be interested in this let me know the # of ppl. and what type of vehicle, maybe I can get my uncle's Winnedago.

It did i guess, but thats not what i meant at ALL! just saying that unless they get a hotel room they will have to plan this out so that the trip is a s comfortable as possible during their travels.

Yeah i see what you mean but this isnt the Oregon Trail, they will not need 4 sets of clothes and 2 wagon tongues in case they can't ford the Mississippi w/ out calamity. It's a road trip to a punk show for shit sakes!

edit: drumanddestroy maybe you can hire an indian to guide you in your travels?

Thats funny.
In my opinion, the more crowded, uncomfortable and long a roadtrip is, the more fun it tends to be.

Granted, it is nice to have company during a long trip no doubt about it dickshack, but I'm just sayin.
I've been on alot of roadtrips across the states in my time, some on tour, some just to a festival etc. Probably about 1985 me and my buddies all hopped into my friend Jeff's '77 Chevy Nova to go see Yes. Well let me tell you that once we started to cross the flat plains on Rt.66 with no AC, a broken 8 track and the only stations coming in were Billy Graham on the radio, and the Nova smelled like old Hoagies and sweaty balls throwed into a blender, I kind of had second thoughts about it.

the concert was great, and I was with my best buds, it would have been a whole lot better had we planned it out and maybe atleast took the station wagon.
But we could have hired an Indian guide for the "Roundabout".
