Mono does "the loop"

Mono does what I've been calling "the loop" for the last couple of years: A tour passes through Chicago, then Minneapolis, Detroit, Omaha, or God forbid someplace in Iowa to the north. Then head west and round it back out again along the South and Southeast.

Extra points to them though for both starting and ending the tour in Texas. It's almost like there's a huge god-forsaken wasteland in the middle of this country. I wonder if Mono has in their tour rider "Must be within 50 miles of salt water at all times".
