I wanted to continue talking about what I wrote about last Thursday. So about why Tech N9ne and the Strange Music guys like Spokane so much is a pretty interesting story. They were coming to Spokane from Billings, Montana in 2006 I believe, the weather was horrible and they were all riding in a 15 passenger van towing a trailer with a bunch of their equipment. They were the lead vehicle in the convoy of tour crew rigs and the snow was beginning to get serious. All of a sudden they hit a patch of ice and the van and trailer basically started jack-knifing which sent the van into a roll. They rolled somewhere around six to eight times. Krizz Kaliko, the guy I took the picture with, actually got halfway ejected from the van and sucked back in without getting injured. The emergency crew that responded said that they were all blessed to be alive after that. Since then the fans in Spokane are people that Tech always talks about being some of his most loving and loyal fans he performs for, and always makes sure he stops there for at least two shows a year.
