We woke up on the east side of Kansas City, Missouri for a relatively civilized 360 mile drive to Bloomington, Indiana. I-70 in Missouri is a nasty road, lots of trucks, and it was a relief to pull off for lunch in St. Louis at the 9th Street Abbey, a nice restaurant in an old church.
Then we went and met up with Speedbump, his wife Liz and their kid Max, who is the single cutest kid I think I've ever seen. Just utterly gorgeous, and completely charming: didn't cry once in all the time we were there. We went out to dinner at a very good Afgani restaurant in downtown Bloomington, IN. Bloomington is a sweet town: it's about two or three times the size of Ithaca, but still has a college feel. Then Janet and I went with Josh to a rehearsal of AfroHoosier Funk, who play interesting African music: they were working on doing a live version of a popular South African piece called Oy! Oy!, which is clearly originally done with a Technics 303 originally. They're a clearly impressively talented group.
