Evansville: Its hard to keep a good bus down
EVANSVILLE, IN- Theoretically, the perfect stop on the tour would be if we pulled in and had 300 people waiting for us that were psyched to see the bus, a full bbq, and beer. We had all of those things at our stop in Evansville yet murphy’s law still managed to rear its ugly head. The Steelworkers pulled out the red carpet for the bus, including placing an ad on their own accord in the paper advertising our stop. This made it all the more disappointing when the generator died ten minutes into the stop. The bus was still open but none of the electronics worked. Hundreds of kind and patient people still came through the slightly dark bus and looked through the text-based exhibits. Everyone was terrific about our technical difficulties. The generator worked in fits and starts and was finally fixed the following morning, too late for our great crowd in Evansville.
