Weekend Wrap Up

Made the drive to Pappy ‘n Harriet’s this afternoon up in Pioneer Town. This is a popular hangout for all types of people. Lots of musicians can be found playing on Sunday (with the Thrift Store All-Stars), as well as other Hollywood types to get away from it all. This town was created as a movie set for Hollywood westerns. Last time we played here, we stayed in the ‘card room’ that was named after Gene Autry (and friends) as they passed the time after a days’ work. Very cool place, indeed.

Instead of staying up in the high desert, we chose to drive back to San Diego. Since we have a day off, we felt a good place to be was near the beach. The day off will be welcome. After a few late nights and the long windy drive to Pioneer Town, we are all a bit ragged and in need of some extended sleep.

The show itself went really well. We would have liked to play longer, but we still had fun and played solid set. We are anxious to get back and play there again. Between the Joshua trees and the excellent vibe from Pappy ‘n Harriet’s, it’s one of the most fun shows we get to play.

The San Diego shows ended up okay. Though we played mostly to an audience that had other interests on their minds (meaning drinking and chasing), we still had a number of people that really dug us. Saturday was especially fun as we all had a good number of friends come out. Then, we capped the evening off with a trip to Jaunita’s and a couple orders of Asada Fries. Seems odd, but this little appetizer is one of the best dishes ever conceived.

That’s it for now – got to get some sleep. Take care and stay tuned for more wacky adventures from the band that (nearly) never sleeps.

Cheers,
DF & SBSD
