EARL GREYHOUND ALIVE IN NORTH DAKOTA

We are so fucking glad to be alive right now!!  Black Ice and Providence went head to head yesterday afternoon on the road between Fargo and Bismarck, North Dakota.  Seconds before, I had been looking at a magnificent Great Plains sunset, having just finished a meditation and nap.  I was really feeling the glory if you know what I mean.  Perhaps that is why, as our blue Chevy Gladiator van careened off the highway and tumbled into the soft snowy center divide, all I could think was “Wheeeeeeeeeee!!!” I watched everything in the van circulate, including myself.  My life did not flash before my eyes.  The moment we stopped was the only moment I was scared, lots of yelling to see if everyone was okay and hoping.  And we are!  I have a bruise on my elbow, Matt’s got a bump on his head, and stiff necks all around, but incredibly that’s it!  Providence wins, as it always does, if you believe in Providence, which I do.  ROCK ON EARTH PEOPLE!!

First off, so glad you all are OK.  Gravity can be a bitch sometimes.  I was amped that you’d be playing at the Croc tonight and was going to be there to hear you live.  KEXP has been doing a great job of getting you exposure out here so I’m hoping you’re able to swing back through soon.  Takes more than a busted up van to keep EG down. Am I right?  Keep on keepin’ on…

Hey Guys,
On behalf of everyone at Indigo, we’re glad you are all in one piece.  We’ll be playing your video S.O.S on the show this week in honor of your surviving the accident.  Thursday at 8pm on Ch. 35 on Time Warner and Ch. 8 on RCN.  We hope to see you back in New York sometime soon and in good spirits!

Hi,
So glad to hear you’re all OK! So sad to hear you aren’t able to make the Seattle show at the Crocodile. I had been looking forward to that show like no other in so long. Just wanted you to know if you can make it out here some time I’ll be first in line for a ticket…
