So the tour went well and the band (Theta Naught) is doing well. We traveled from San Fransisco (quick, who was born there?) to San Diego then to Vegas. One of the finer shows involved a business space that was used for a church on Saturday and Sunday and shows on Friday. It was an all ages show which turned out to be quite fun. Ryan met some kids, Alex and Josh, on myspace and invited them to play with us. They did. They were pretty good. They were 16. It was a real joy listening to them talk about school, SATs, teachers, college plans etc. So bright eyed and hopeful. Then we met some 14 year old kids who were waiting out front for the next band to start because the current band "Cursed" and "there's no need for that". What fascinating kids. However, talking to these kids gave me my first ever hint and guttural feeling that I am in fact OLD. I'm only 25, but frankly, that is relatively old, especially in the eyes of these whipper snappers. It kind of hurt. "I'm in to classic rock like Led Zeppelin, Pink Floyd, Aerosmith, Def Leopard". Def Leopard? Holy Hell, Oldies are now of my generation.
In spite of this moment of age realization, I had a wonderful tour. It was a treat to hang with Pete and large with child Sheri. Those two just might make good parents.
Vegas was a fun show as always. Black Camaro was a gracious host as per usual and the show was well attended and well rocked. If you haven't listened to Black Camaro you should. They are surprisingly good and Brian Garth is a really good songwriter. I still hate the Vegas Strip.
That about sums it up except for the '89 Dodge Caravan report. It was a total Champion. It got relatively good mileage for the weight we were pulling, we added a fuzzy steering wheel cover (see photo), it was comfortable, trouble free, spacious and amenity packed. I love that van.
See you at the arts festival and CO.
