@1 and 2 for the win. @3 shut up Ben

Well-written, hilarious account. I'm probably going to read it again.

welcome to the layer cake.

Caption joke fail: that Fargo theater actually plays some decent films.

yeah that would have made people laugh.
but it's true, i actually tried to see micmacs instead of soundcheck.

If you try and get back to the UK I can promise a series of disappointing lowlights coupled with hilarious cultural dissonances that would make a great sequel. Great stuff as usual Lars.

Fun read.

About the static: Just attach a grounding strip to the van. Most city buses have them. It will probably totally eliminate the problem, will not waste any gas, etc. JFGI, for example, http://www.mizter.com/car-antistatic-gro… .

Or if you are competent with basic tools, and understand enough about cars not to hurt yourself, get a piece of flexible cable and do it yourself.

Enjoyed this piece. Best description of touring I've ever seen. Makes me glad I never had to do it.

Advice on the van's static build-up: I had one of those too! Dodge? Caravan? Anyway: hold your key to touch anything metallic to avoid that FLASH! BANG! PAIN! feature. This phenom really needs CDC investigation.

thanks for the tip!

This was an awesome read, Lars. Can't wait to see you guys next time you come through Fargo.
