THE DAVE EMORY TOUR DIARY,
thus entitled: DOOMSDAY, CAR BOMB, CONTINUING
DAY 4:
To make up for lost time, the first of several all-night drives are done. Negativland flies through Salt Lake City, Utah, pausing only to steal an enormous roll of "HEAVY" stickers from a kiosk at the deserted airport's departure level before pushing on to Cheyenne, Wyoming, where they meet up with Michael, who cleverly avoided the first leg by hopping a first-class MD-80 flight from his home in the Ural Mountains of the former U.S.S.R.
Sensibility finally overcomes the beleaguered culture jammers, and they buy a car jack, motor oil, food, and use the bathroom for the first time in four days. Skipping down...
Someone checks the transmission fluid in van #2 and finds it a sickly yellow-brown color (though President Donny is sure that if you hold the dipstick in a certain light it's "just fine").
Merely five miles outside of Lincoln, Nebraska (for the first actual date of the tour), starting up van #1 after a rest stop results in a loud squealing sound from under the hood. The smog pump bearings have frozen up. Tara and Michael frantically hack through the pump's drive belt with a butter knife sharpened on a smooth stone until it breaks free of the pump and falls limply to the pavement below. Both vans screech out of the parking lot.
