The night at the bar in Boulder CO was fantastic. We had the privilege of watching a two piece band called Stereofidelics perform. The band consists of a guy on a guitar, and a girl on a fiddle. They are extremely talented for being only 20 something years old. I recommend checking them out at http://www.myspace.com/thestereofidelics
At about noon we began our long 8-9 hour journey to Omaha. The entire ride consisted of a lot of plain fields, and a lot of wind. Plain fields + wind + Nebraska = tumble weeds. Dan and I thought it would be funny to see a tumble weed before we started this trip. After this trip we both are relieved to have dodged all 873 of them. Not that they are dangerous... they break when you hit them, but when you are getting 40 mph wind gusts and a lone tumble weed hits the driver window, it can startle you a bit.
We didn't really get to experience Omaha all that much. The place we stayed at was fairly interesting though. 20 people live under the same roof of the place we stayed at. About 10 people in each wing. Just about everybody in the house was an artist or a musician. Put that all together and it calls for a pretty colorful and fun time. Unfortunately, we were both very tired and fell asleep early.
Early today we began our drive to Chicago. This drive wasn't as bad, about 100 miles less I believe. We still ended up arriving fairly late, and so ended up watching Burn After Reading (great movie) with our host, Rachel.
She gave us a list of plenty of things to do tomorrow while in Chicago. We will be leaving Chicago for Cleveland at around 1 or 2 tomorrow afternoon.
