The Motion Sick: Monday 3-10-08 – Dallas – Matt

The Motion Sick: Sunday 3-9-08 Tulsa – Matt
We trucked down to Tulsa through Missouri. I have to be honest; but Missouri wasn’t really the greatest state I’ve ever been to. Perhaps I missed something amidst the vast nothingness, but overall it was a pretty boring place. We … Read More
The Motion Sick: The Motion Sick Tour 2008 – 3/9 – Tulsa, OK – Travis

The Motion Sick: Tour Blog – 3/7 – Jackson, TN – Travis
Well, it’s now 12pm on Friday. We are on our way to Jackson, TN. Still haven’t had any coffee and my head is throbbing. The mid-west apparently doesn’t believe in giving Americans the addiction they so rightfully deserve. We all … Read More
