West Indian Girl

san fransico was a blur. we had to meet downtown at 10 am to load the van! unfortunately for us, the cargo elevator was broke so we had to move everything down via the small regular elevator which really sucked ass. i tell you what though, the guy we had working with us, troy (in the picture above) was the proverbial “gift from the rock gods”. this guy is the best tech/driver you can ask for. troy is a total pro and has been doing this kind of work for 15 years so this was no big deal for him. considering the fact that most of the friends we have had help us get way too fucked up to actually help at the end of the night, troy was a welcome addition to the crew. he even drove us all home from frisco at 2 am and unloaded the van back in la at around 8am. crazy trip. i expect we will be seeing troy on the next tour. thanx man.

anyway, on to the show, the fillmore was pretty cool. tons of history as well as tons of cool pictures on the walls of everyone that has played there. it’s just one of those “one of a kind” rock clubs that you have to see to believe. kinda surprising how bassy and boomy the stage sound was though. it was really tough to get into the sound on stage but maybe that’s because our monitors were all jacked up. it was weird – you would think at a place like that your stage sound would be great but it wasnt…maybe next time though. aside from that the crowd ate it up like a nice pot brownie and we were all cool. i never left the club the whole time we were there – we all just hung out in the dressing room and partied. our dressing room was freezing but they had a little heater (see below) going on which became a little campfire for us.

As far as who we saw down there – well, marty diamond our booking agent was there…that was an unexpected surprise. our 2 favorite fans from san francisco, amy and andrew were also there. that’s them in the first picture. those guys are awesome – expect to see a&a backstage at every sf show. my other friend andrew warren from jambase was there too. jambase is such a great site by the way – go check it out. oh yeah, chris’ friends melrose and janice were there as was ryanne and tom – part of the lewscious organization. overall this show was great but it was a blur and then we were home. good times. enjoy the pics

andrew and amy = best friends in sf
