Found out at lunch today that at some point last night I pointed at the ceiling and said “violence throughout the house.”

Leasurely morning, pizza for lunch, then vegetarian chineese for second lunch. Arrived at the coolest venue. Been looking for a bar like this in LA ever since I got there. Too bad it was 900 miles north. Great soundsystem, one of the nest so far, great soundguy who every thing laid out amazingly well and great refridgerator full of pabst in the dressingroom.

Opening act Soriah was etherial. Throat singing with airy guitar and keys.

After the show we proceeded to drive back and forth to each motel 6 we could find, finding ours on the third try. In bed at 3am and another day done.

Day 3: drive day

Left San Francisco in the morning and drove, drove, drove, drove. Oregon is far away. Couldn’t imagine driving to Seattle. Colder up here, with snow banks still hanging out. Not much room in the van so was quite interesting to see everyone arrayed out. Finnaly got to a hotel at 5am.

Goodbye

After a show as great as that I went home and promptly fell asleep. Waking up the next morning I looked out at all the stuff in my room and realized “this has gotta go”. After a few hours of computer research, and some lauable attempts to call and get quotes on Easter Sunday, I loaded my iPod and phone up with as much music as they could hold and started packing. With a little help I finished around 5am.

The next day was started with a lovely 9:30am phone call from the storage place confirming my spot. I picked up a uhaul and with the help of Sara and my roommate Juan, loaded everything in and stored it away.
