Day 1 Venice Beach

It was our first gig of the tour and it was off the hook! We busked on the beach all day and packed the place tonight! Tony and Steve made it safely and we did Lagunitas proud:) we're on the bus and headed for Tempe. Nighty night! RT

We've arrived in LA! All ten of us are packed into my daughters tiny apartment waiting for one of her famous feasts! We are missing Steve and Tony but if they could smell this food they'd miss us more!! They'll be here tomorrow in time for our gig at Venice Ale House. Meanwhile the rest of us plan to do a little busking at the beach! The drive was awesome, live music the entire time:)
More tomorrow.....RT

Matt putting the finishing touches on the bus. Two great gigs this past weekend at Cafe Du Nord and Lagunitas. We're fired up and ready to roll! We'll be leaving from the Peri's parking lot Wednesday.....RT
