That's one heck of a night. I just came in (6 am right now) and all I
have to show for it is meeting up with my cousin and his wife at her
latest installation (v. cool), dinner at an Argentinian restaurant in
LA specializing in empanadas (*most* tasty), shopping at Amoeba and
meeting up with Arthur again (whee! CDs!), then most of us going to a
friend's home for a chat and snooze and awaiting the outcome of the
Spectrum show. I *was* going to go to the San Diego show tonight, the
last one of the tour, but that isn't happening due to bitterness, bad
vibes, drugs, and control freaks all tearing apart the band, resulting
in a lengthy solo Sonic Boom performance on keyboard that was by all
accounts wretchedness personified. Astounding!
