So I leave yesterday morning from MInneapolis at 9, and I'm making good time as I get to Kansas City at 3 PM. That's where the fun ended:mad: I get just south of Kansas City on Highway 169, and for the next 7 HOURS I wasnt able to drive more than 40 miles an hour. I got to this godforsaken outpost called Iola Kansas and stopped. At this point it was 6:PM, and it had taken me 3 hours justto get 75 miles from KC. I asked how far it was toi Tulsa, and there was no way I was going to get there in time for the show. So I decided to make my way towards Springfield MO where my friend lives,a dn I made it there by midnight. UGH People, I hope none of you EVER has to drive in conditions like that. I guess I have to look at the bright side, I still get to seem him Fri and Sat. And I made it here in one piece, which was no small task!:laugh:

:sorry: Awww, man. That sucks! Sorry that happened. I had friends that were only about 30 miles away that couldn't get to the show and another friend that had been in OKC for the day and the normal 90-minute drive took him 4 1/2 hours. He barely made it. It was best that you kept yourself safe.

- AngieYou know, these things happen every now and then. It could be worse like you said. I remember back in 2004 with Fleetwood Mac and I was out east when Stevie got sick and they had all those re-schedules and cancellations and I was right in the middle of that too. I'll tell you this much, if I have to F***ING walk, I'm going to Kansas City and St Louis!:laugh:

David, That sucks about missing the show...That is one reason I hate shows during the winter time, possible traffic issues.
Hopefully LB plays OKC sometime in the Spring...That is if there will be a spring this year...brrrrrrrr!

David, that's horrible! Sorry you had to deal with that. Glad you made is safely there though. I can't imagine how frustrating it was. Hope the other two shows work out perfectly for you.
