Dan Bialek vs. America: The Reno Snow Disaster



The Biggest Little City In The World Tries To Kill My Car

The trip to Stockton, Chico and Reno was the first real leg of my tour after we did the first preliminary show in Santa Cruz to see if these shows were even going to be doable.

The drive from Los Angeles to Stockton and then Chico were uneventful and the shows were fun and went pretty smoothly for the most part.

Then we got to Reno and everything fell apart rather quickly.


As I’m typing this, it is 4:23 am on a Tuesday morning and I’ve got to drive 10 hours to Salt Lake City in a few hours. So, I’ll let the short video blogs that I made of the key low-points tell you the rest of the story.

Please be aware that I just finished editing these videos this week, over two months since these events transpired, because all of this was depressing enough to live through the first time. Let alone watch over and over and over in the tiny Premiere Pro 2 preview window.

Glad the first leg of the tour still managed to even out ;)

WOW! I am so suprised that you are brave enough (or obtuse enough) to go out and hit even more cities. Kudos and good luck.

talk with you soon.

I have to give you and your friends Kudos... I surely wouldn't even try to drive in snow across country in the winter time... Good that it's summer time and at least you won't have to deal with the snow...

Be Safe..
