West Indian Girl

what a difference a day off and a good sound check can make! last night we played with gomez in solana beach at belly up and the show rocked. the gomez guys were cool and the people that worked at the club treated us great. thank you all – it was appreciated. we went on stage a little bit after 9pm and played still lost, trip, monterey, hollywood, green, northern sky, and what are you afraid of. the gomez crowd was very warm and embraced us with a huge hug – we made tons of new fans and even sold out of cds! gotta love all the love washing ashore in solana beach.

during sound check some of our biggest fans in san diego showed up – tommy, charlie, cameron, chaz, emma, olivia, and savanna you guys all rock! even though the club wouldnt let them in cos they weren’t old enough they hung out at the door and watched our sound check from far away. we played 3 songs for them — it’s too bad they couldnt see the real show. i think we will play an all ages club around there soon and maybe their high school dance later this year 😉

after the show this couple on the right (i have no idea who they were) bought chris and i a drink called a car bomb. i never had it before – you drop a shot glass filled with baileys and whiskey into a pint of guinness and slam it – sort of tasted like chocolate milk. probably the last thing i needed really but it seemed like a good idea at the time. maggie chang (over on the left) came down to see us too. it was nice to spend time with maggie cos it seems like it’s been years since we last hung out. thanx maggie! anyway, let’s talk about how much i really like the girls’ shirts we’re selling. i think they’re pretty sly and incredibly boob friendly. check out dana (below) in one. they’re soft and tight and perfect….the shirts i mean. oh yeah, chocolate and marcos were at the show helping out. chocolate sold a ton of merch and marcos drove the truck down and helped move all our gear. thanx you guys.

on a strange side note – right before we left town, marcos and i had a little chat with blues guitarist roy gaines in the parking lot of a mcdonalds on labrea ave – he was driving a white rolls royce…classic.
