Yep, that pic (from the San Francisco show) pretty much sums up the tour that was. I know I snoozed on updating during the duration. But it's hard to nerd n' blog out when you live off of no sleep, rock and squall, booze, tacos and burgers.


I hope to remember it all in some fashion. All the great folks I got to meet. All the lousy shampoo showers. Next post I'll start rememberin'. I promise. I even got some video and (not as good as the above) snaps. Until then, caseeé!!!

That's that,

Day One: Ride That Snake

Well, it's begun. You know you're in L.A. when your walking around Echo Park Lake and you aspie a certain "larry williams' favorite" actor lounging in a canvas chair. It's a good omen. I'll ask him if he wants to be in Doors III.
Here's Doors II:





That's that,
Joe

PS: already had some awesome tacos, thanks to Dominic and Kim. Who knew potato tacos would be so good. So good Aris ate seventeen.

Yeah, that's a big chunk of text. My bad. Hopefully I'll be able to do some on the spot reporting, like a real deal Fox 2 Problemsolver, or a Channel 7 Defender.

That's that,

Joe

PS: I think that Mexicali date is wrong, I think it's Sunday May Sixth. Ah well.
