Wow, Flying J grub. I've pulled some pizza out of those places out of sheer desperation which turned out to be not that bad. Just don't ever get the Chinese food from them, especially from the one on I-70 xit 122 east of Columbus,Oh. It's absolutely wretched! North of Richmond,Va.?, you must be at xit 104 on I-95. Not a bad stop and was always where my band would stop for fuel on our way down from Philly as it was cheapest there until you got to N. Carolina. We have'nt traveled that trek in quite a while since me and my singer moved south. Don't miss it either. I-95 is just a pain in the A** from Miami to Portland, Maine.
We use to play this club in downtown Baltimore called the Funk Box(a.k.a. 8x10 Club...the size of the room!) and since they were kind enough to let us play there we got the wonderful privelege of finding our own hotel accomadations, which happened to be across the Scott Key bridge(toll both ways to do the gig and if I remember correctly, 15 miles round trip in Baltimore traffic!) at the Travel Lodge truck stop. man I miss being treated like total s**t.
However a job that allows you to travel is not one to be missed if you don't mind constant displacement-which I certainly don't. Dave, it sounds like you actually enjoy your job and that's what's important.
I drove 8+ hours by-myself today from Cleveland, Oh.to home (Knoxville, Tn.) and enjoyed every I-Pod laden second of it!
I would like to know where I can get one of those No Lot Lizards stickers at?
