Right now we’re driving through the snow. LA was cool.  We had a day to hang out, but the rain made us want to stay in.

The drive to LA was incredible for 2 reasons. First, Southern California was having its most intense rain in years. And second, people in So Cal don’t know how to drive in the rain. We saw a truck spin 4 times going 70 mph, careen off the side of the road, and flip over in a ditch. I called 911 and remember feeling the pits as the woman asked us our location, and I couldn’t tell her because I had no idea. We saw another spin out that ended more peacefully. We passed 4 or 5 wrecks in 2 hours. It felt like that scene in the movie where it starts raining frogs. Just really funny and absurd.

Got to LA, ate some Pho, hung @ a bookstore called Skylight. I read Hafez for the first time and thought it was pretty cool. Saw the dude from Entourage and a lot of interesting shoes. Stayed with an old friend in Echo Park and thought it was really livable.

If you are there go to Origami Records to get a copy of our record. They are really great. I should say that as I write this we are driving through the pouring snow somewhere in Northern Cal. Driving in snow is kind of fun if you are in the back seat like myself.

Playing the Troubadour in LA was really great. It’s a nice intimate space, and I felt really good about our performance. I thought WD really killed it too. We hung out a bit afterwards at the bar and saw some buddies. We ate sushi next to a Rolls-Royce dealership. So LA.

And then went to San Fran. To be honest, I can’t remember too much of these places. My mind was flighty, and for the most part I was hung over, and it’s been raining for 5 days straight? So each day just feels the same, and people and place blend together. But, my friends, I’m taking lots of pictures so I’m sure to remember SOMETHING.
