Hello.
We are called Brave Combo. One time,
after playing a club in Springfield, Missouri, we decided to drive
out of town a little and find a motel on the road to Kansas City (our
destination for the next night's gig). After driving north west on
state Highway 13 for about an hour, we saw a sign that said "Humansville
-- Next Exit." So we took the exit and drove around town awhile.
It was 3:00 AM and aside from our van, nothing was moving. It was
a shame we didn't find a motel, 'cause we really wanted to stay in
Humansville.
