Woke up in a shitty hotel room this morning.. we had roommates of cockroaches, and I was pretty sure that the ceiling in the shower was going to collapse on me while showering. At least I got a shower.
Oh, and the room smelled of poo. Oh well.
We hop in the rv and head to Hollyweird.. unfortunately, we sit in a ton of traffic on the grapevine.
T and X get to shower at home.. lucky. Finally, we take off to Ramona.. more traffic. WTF? It’s Saturday!
We’re already gonna be late for soundcheck.. whatever, this is our last show.
After a slightly scary drive thru the damn near mountains, we arrive at the venue and quickly load in despite the rain. This venue is really classy, I like it!
AND THE BEST FUCKIN PART - We have a homecooked meal of pot roast, potatoes, and corn.. OMFG real food.. I don't know what to do with myself. I chow down and now I'd kill for a nap. SO GOOD. This venue rox even more now.
This is our last show, and closest to home. Ace's mom will be here, among other people. FUN!
It's bittersweet, the last show. I'm over the RV.. but I don't actually want to go home. Apparently my grandfather died (before you go OMG IM SORRY!!) I haven't seen him in about 20 years, except the past month he has been living in my house, but he has dementia and doesn't know who I am.. but he never bothered in those 20 years, so he is virtually a stranger. This just means there will be more family I don't know or care for there, and I'll be expected to go to a funeral, which I will not do.
Anyways, I'll prob go visit the momma for a few days.. then come back for my dentist appointment.. yeah, it's great working to pay for that kinda shit. yuck. work for a month to pay someone to inflict pain on me. Rad.
Anyways, we get a real souncheck, and it sounds really nice in here!
A couple cool customers. One was a super tattooed mohawked.. guy? Nope. Female. Huh, whoda thunk my radar is that off!?
Tender and I spend awhile looking at youtube vids of his bands, the Throbs and NY Loose. He said I remind him of the singer of NY Loose (Compliment! she's gorgeous!) and making fun of the opening bands. Hah.
Charrie, the lady here is SUPER sweet.. I mentioned having toured with VNV and she was super interested in bringing in new stuff, and making this a rad venue. It's already rad to start with, it's like an old single screen movie theatre, (like the Art Theatre in LBC).. I'm pretty stoked on it, I'd love to have a small venue like this.
Openers name is Negative Void. Isn't that a bit redundant? ..Yeah. They did a metal cover of Helter Skelter and tried to get the crowd to sing along.. they didn't seem to know it.. essh, san diego.. cmon.
A good show tonight, all in all.
Finally, I load out for the last time :( kinda makes me sad...
We get out to the RV, and I have a wonderful concoction of cream soda and vodka.. mmm.. after two of these, I give up along with nearly everyone else and pass out.
I wake up back in Hollywood, where we load back into T's house, and say our goodbyes..
I'm gonna miss these boys. A lot.
