Cali….
After San Francisco, we played in Cupertino. Being the Apple enthusiast that I am, I was stoked to plan a trip to 1 INfinite Loop, but upon doing research, I found out it’s just a glorified gift shop. They don’t do any tours of the Apple campus. I was a little bummed. For some reason, I was in a miserable mood, probably because I came down with a cold this day and i can only take so much Zicam. I set up for the show and after the first song, Matt ended up spilling a whole beer all over me and my drumset during the first song. Being that this show, Jeff decided to play every song right into each other, it was hard to clean off my kit in a hasty manner. By the 3rd song, i had enough of a break to tip my snare drum upside down and pour out half of that beer. That set the pace for my attitude for the rest of the night.
Santa Cruz was a good time. We played with some amazing friends (Dan Potthas and the bricks, Classics of Love, and Sidekicks) and had a friend of us giving us space cakes. I had a night filled with chuckles. It was so tasty, I ate a spacecake on the way to Pomona.
Pomona was a great show because we saw some friends we haven’t seen in a while (Dino, Joyce Manor) and it was nice catching up with but I wish I was a little more into it and not in pain from doing some damage to my back. I swear I’m falling apart on this tour.
LA became a little bit of a hassle because our original show got cancelled but Dino found a bookstore that offered to put on the show and it was a great show. Chotto Ghetto, Little Medusa’s were awesome, and there was a great crowd on such short notice. (Thank you for all who came out!) Rumor has it, Rachel McAdams was at our show tonight. Bummed I didn’t get to meet her.
