More shows THAN YOUR BODY HAS ROOM FOR
Sometime while trying to find our venue in Detroit, the GPS, combined with heavy construction, directed us to the bridge onto Canada where the egg underwent a full cavity search at customs. Then, after returning, we went to the venue, didn't get shot or robbed, got to meet cool local bands, and heard a song about penetration. After driving through Toronto, where we got HUGE SAVINGS, and Niagara Falls, where we got wet, we returned to Baltimore for a day. Leaving B-mizzle, we went to Athens, GA and played for our biggest crowd this tour. We then made it to Savannah just in time to see the sunrise and sleep for a couple. After fulfilling Bobby's eating quota for the day we played at The Wormhole and had our fog machine cherry popped. Now, we are relaxing in Savannah and preparing to blow your face off in Towson on the 22nd.

Detroit Rock City? More like Detroit More Murders Than Baltimore City... City
Asbestos's show at Ronny's Bar in Chicago was called "The best Asbestos concert to ever take place in Chicago" (Steve "I know a lot about music" Richardson of the Chicago Tribune). After driving all day through states like Indiana, the self proclaimed "Crossroads of America" (No one comes to our state with a reason other than traveling to a neighboring state) we were quite amazed at our playing as well. In fact, leg cramps, sleep deprivation, Bobby eating all of our food, and smell aside, the road is treating us quite [well].
After camping in a rest area, we began our voyage to Muskegon to visit a friend, stopping in Grand Rapids to buy flannel, and get $16 for can return. We slept in the sketchiest (least expensive, most likely to give STDs through osmosis) motel we could find and headed to Detroit. We camped with Randy, a local who frequents Brighton Park and taught us to make things with glass bottles and fire.
Since this may be our last post (many people we've talked to think we will be robbed or die in Detroit) we will leave you with Erik's list of traveled states from most good to least good:
1. California
2. Maryland, Virginia
4. Georgia
5. Massachusetts, Illinois, Michigan
8. Florida
9. Indiana, Maine
11. Ohio, Connecticut, North Carolina, Rhode Island, Vermont, New Hampshire
15. New York
16. South Carolina
17. New Jersey
18. West Virginia
19. Pennsylvania
20. Delaware
Bobby just ate a Big Mac in under 10 seconds

Right Lane Ends, Merge Left
Here is a poem I am writing from a motor home in Dayton Ohio, one day before our Chicago show:
Boston was a blast,
the first night we camped in a parking lot,
it sure went by fast,
we met cool local bands that liked us a bunch,
sold a t-shirt, even.
Riding the T was a good way to see the city
Cambridge was quite pretty,
but we went the whole time without cleavin'.
Don't worry, faithful reader,
we'll keep you posted this time,
or maybe we won't.
After Ronny's in Chicago we're hitting Paychecks in Detroit then up to Toronto for a couple before we return to Baltimore for a day and then head South. I would say wish us luck, but we don't need it, we have looks.
