My first road trip with The Alkali Flats was to Gabbs, Nevada.
R&D's Bar was the spot and the only bar in this mining town. Population 400ish. We were greeted by the locals with their form of open arms, a pot luck dinner!
What a spread! Dutch oven delights, casseroles, potato salad and beans galore!
Drinks were on the house whether we liked it or not, and we drank them whether we liked them or not. From what I could tell, we all liked them, the drinks and the locals! We played our music, well-equipt with forgotten lyrics and botched guitar solos! At the end of the night, we stumbled drunk across the street to our motel that they had given us for a cheap price. There's nothing like walking across the street and hitting the hay after playing a show like that!
We were asked back.

The boys sitting at the slot machines, probably digesting some delish potluck!
