Going on Tour: It's amazing what you can fit in this car.

I'm all loaded up to go on tour in northern Michigan and the U.P. for the next two weeks and change. It s incredible what you can load into a 1999 Honda Civic. I'm going to be riding a bit low, but when you need to take the amount of performance gear that I do, that is simply how it goes. 

Make sure to keep up to date with my schedule to see where I am. I'll be posting updates and photos as much as I can. The next gig is at Glen Lake Community Library in Empire, Michigan tomorrow morning (June 28th), at 11AM.
