The Summit, Iowa City, Iowa, October 6, 2004

I have a cold.  This is me looking miserable before the show.

The headliner, Spark Mann, onstage.

Here I am with Eric, a cool guy I met in Spirit Lake; he works at the Funny Barn comedy club there during the summer.

I stay in the motel and extra night.  I have a cold to nurse, and they happen to have chicken noodle soup scheduled on their menu for the next day (free meals!).  In my final hour, my TV becomes possessed.  I had to unplug it to turn it off, as none of the buttons worked.  Fortunately for my safety, unplugging it did work.
