    Greatest distance would be San Antonio to London (or Hawaii?).

    Longest trip was 23 hours driving to Charleston, SC back in the day. We waited too long to buy plane tickets and so we ended up having to drive. Insane, but amazing. :D

    My friends and I can't afford plane tickets to Nashville, so we're opting for the 36 hour busride from Winnipeg to Bonnaroo. It's going to be a helluva long trip.

    boston to chicago for lolla last year, boston to tennessee for the roo this year. Then it is on the MSG and Mansfield... god i love this band and all the great folk i meet along the way.

    i think the drive to bonnaroo should take us 18 hours not including stops. it's about more than the band now.

    I was there in Seattle with you in 02, and will see you in Mansfield, as the venue is 20 mins from my condo.

    I was just in Detroit on Saturday, flying back from Arizona.
