Yes, but from what I recall from talking to HW management/promotion folks
from last US tour, HW was hitting the major cities en route.  And I think
that route was I-70, which would explain the focus on more northern
cities.  (NB that Kansas City and Lawrence hadn't made it either:
they hit Chicago, Milwaukee or some other more northern city, then
drove right by en route to Denver 8'-(

Perhaps if someone just put together various AAA-like Triptick
(sp?) routes for them, or we actually collaborated on a convenient route
(that would get the band to each of our respective backyards, of course),
the band might be able to hit less standard stops more easily???
