As it happened in this neck of the woods-I live roughly between the town they had last played and the town they had played next-I forget which is which-it comes up fairly often.

Yesterday, a local radio host mentioned that he was going through his parents' stuff and found a ticket for a show in Montevideo MN. He wasn't sure if they had played there prior to the accident or were heading there just after the fatal destination.
