Ryan Dunn's Rock Tour

In my last article I talked about wanting to go to Ryan Dunn's Rock Tour with Kevi. You know, the show that was supposed to have The Alter Boys and Disengage playing, and be hosted by the cast of Viva la Bam (mainly Dunn, Phil, April, Raab, Rake, and di'Camillo). These MTV heads were actually coming to Des Moines, IA. Weird.

So yesterday I shaved my goatee, threw on my "not bam" shirt and some glasses and went to Kevi's house. We looked up the time of the show on Val Air's site, went to an ATM, and then called a cab and headed down to the Val Air Ballroom.

When we pulled up (fashionably late), we noticed that there were 2 cars in the lot. wtf. We drove up to the front where I went to get a closer look at the door. That's right, cancelled err "canceled" as they spell it. We looked at Val Air's site a half hour before we got there and it was still on - wtf. So mad. So the cab had to bring us back home, awesome joyride.

So anyway, Kevi's apartment is only like 10 blocks from Drink and all that, so we walked up to Cabaret and Mickey's and hung out with Nathan and Chuck. The only good thing that came out of the night was maybe the new chutes and ladders. It's super sweet and scary.

Stupid rock tour.

Hey...what happened with the rock tour? I'm from Ottumwa and I drove all the way to Des Moines and then found the note on the door! When we were searching the internet to find out what happened, we came across your site. It's great! Let everybody know what happened with the show if you find out.

well the alter boys pulled out of the tour because they're broke or something. it looks like there are other shows cancelled also. the Fargo, ND show is cancelled. so was the Lincoln, NE show.

I'm sorry if that came out wrong! I didn't mean it to!...I just want to get the truth out there because there have been so many rumors and it seems no one from the tour wants to tell what really happened.
