Columbia, MO

So, on Sunday night we did one show in Columbia, MO. Really the only interesting thing of note was that since the backstage was so tight we had to do crossovers outside, good thing it didn't rain.

Well, I just started reading an interesting find "Lies My Teacher Told Me". It is a book centered around 10 subjects that history textbooks get wrong or not completely right. I have read the subject on Helen Keller's life, which was much more colorful after her childhood years and Woodrow Wilson's career, both accounts offered contrary pictures to their known lives. Next, the chapter on Columbus was quite interesting and no I am on to the first Thanksgiving. I would recommend it to anyone who finds history fascinating. When I told someone about the book, they quipped, how do you know what this person is saying is all based on truth as well? The author has a lot of sources and footnotes, maybe too many. Anyway, stopover in Hays, KS - what an exciting town!! Going to see American Gangster at the movies tonight.
