Monday was a bit of a rest day. We spent most of it repairing equipment, changing strings, and generally recouperating from the prior 4 days. In a strange way, it makes it somewhat difficult to throw in a leisurely off-day like this. When I'm going at it day after day, I begin to get used to the grind of each day. I get less emotional over a singular show (if it was bad/good/sparse), and more atune to keeping a solid effort towards what needs to be done for each show (loading/playing/selling merch/packing up/getting someplace to crash). An off day like today - while awesome in its own right - knocks me out of that groove, and it's really hard to get back to it.
Well, it's not like I won't have enough shows to get back into the 'groove'. We head to Santa Barbara tomorrow, then a couple dates in LA (you need to check out the LA weekly that touts us as a 'rock pick' for our show at Molly Malones) before heading to Scotland's hometown of San Diego. Finally on Sunday, we play at Pappy & Harriet's in Pioneer town (where we met Victoria Williams last fall) It will be a great week of shows - come by if you are in the area.
We also were mentioned in a Tom Green segment simply by walking down to Pier 39 on Saturday. You can find us around the 35 minute mark in the above link.
cheers,
DF & SBSD
