Big Digits tour diary, San Diego

San Diego kind of rules, Mac and I got of the plane after flying for about 9 hours (including a stopover in Las Vegas where I won $15 on slot machines in the airport, Ka-ching) and immediately tore off our various accoutrements of New England weather to bask in the glowing warmth of a city that remains 67 degrees and warm almost every day. We proceded to the Mustache House, home to awesome kids of various sweet ideas including the band Business Lady. After a couple of hours of eating curry, going to record stores (had to pass on the too expensive Moondog records), talking about Boston (the only band they asked about was Anal Cunt, seriously) and discussing the problem of California property tax and the effect it has on the the roll of police in the incorporated/unincorporated towns of Southern California we went over to The Che Café for our first show of the tour.
As we were coming in the LA darkwave jitter dance lightshow that is Ananvan were setting up their drums/organ/bass. We did the building with the people thing and headed out into the dark woods behind the venue for a little imbibing of courage before starting the show. Anavan ruled pretty hard despite them having some light disfunction and not playing my favorite song that I had been humming my head all day. San Serac was up next and electro-timbaled his way into the heart of many an awkward-dancing San Diegan. At this point we went on, I have to confess the traveling and time difference had taken a bit of a toll on me (although a big thank you to Ashliegh for toting our loser asses to the airport at an ungodly, even for the odd houred Providence lifestyle, time). I was a bit, how do you say, sluggish. The kids seemed to get into it though, there was dancing and whatnot. Captina Ahab closed things out with a sweat-fest of epic motivational jams, but you'll hear more about them later when in our LA post. Drenched and tired Mac and I went and got burritos (they put french fries in my carne asada, total genius) and passed out in a haze on the couch.

Tomorrow, a rundown of the incredible LA show and hot celebrity gossip.
