A Whole New World... of BITTER Cold.

Posted in by Andrew P. Horst | Edit
We started tour yesterday! First we drove for 300,718 hours from Seattle to Racine, Wisconsin. It might have been a little less than that... but it was almost 48 hours straight in the coldest weather I've ever been in. I don't understand how anyone could ever live in South Dakota.

Earlier in our trip... not even 6 hours out of Seattle, somehow we ran out of gas. It was a tour first for This Providence. The van completely died on an incline less than 6 miles from a gas station. So we all had to get out and push a van and trailer... it was freezing. (and hilarious)






Last night we played The Rave in Milwaukee. THANK YOU SOOO MUCH to everyone who came out and just had fun! We couldn't have asked for a better way to start out the tour. This tour is gonna be a blast. Ludo, Sing It Loud, and The Morning Light. All great bands. Check it!

    hahaha! it's moments like that, that makes touring fun and memorable. glad you guys are already having a blast and made it safely to the first stop. hope yall have a safe trip to the rest of the cities!

    I love the perspective and how there's a lot of red in all your shots. the van, the hoodie, and the gas can. you've got a great eye :]

    the trick is to use premium gas because it generally lasts longer
