How do you do?!

We're a group of friends from upstate NY attempting to live out our forefathers last wishes of going west for a better life. We won’t be out searching for gold, arable land, or prettier girls, but we are hoping that our time together will be one that sticks with us till the grave. Our band Cattle Drums has set up a thirty day tour across the country. We faced originally the given task that is booking 28 venues to hold us and the accompanying local bands, and now four months later with this outlaw brought to its knees, we stare face to face an evil piece of work that is our 91 Chevy Van G20. We were put in the pits early this spring when our Chevy Astro Van bit the dust, and now put back $1500 for the new van, and another $500 after inspection, we sit back and can only pray for some pigeon to land on our shoulders with a wad of cash in its beak. With 4,500 miles ahead of us, we have a large hungry tank, and maybe even bigger bellies to fill. If you got it anywhere in your heart to donate some chump change to a van full of wishful idiots, there will be five more smiles in the world than there are right now. The lowest amount you can give is one dollar so if four quarters is all you found in your couch today, then use it to buy an iced tea, but if you found 8 quarters and already have dinner on the stove, we would really appreciate some love. Thank you kindly!
