We drove across the border with little difficulty... the routine van search - tearing through your personal shit and leaving it all over the seat - a little more than aggravating. Our first American show was a block party in Minneapolis. Good crowd! Free Pabst! Great host! Awesome bicycles everywhere! Minneapolis seems like a great city... based on the few hours there. Next stop - Chicago! The Pandas were very touristy and had a great time, despite the fact that our show was poorly attended and very short. Hot air balloon + giant bean + face fountains + giant noodle + harbour + killer breakfast + awesome bookstores + more great attractive bicycle(ists) + real Chicago deep dish!! (Which was worth the one hour wait). We also spent the following day at the Art Institute of Chicago, which was a great soul-healing experience.
Ok - time to pack up the computer and go have the only consistent meal of tour: breakfast. We have all eaten so many eggs and potatoes, and still not sick of them.
Also - Hot Panda is a very polarizing band to many reviewers! We've reached each end of the spectrum:
