Truckasauras Tour Diary: "The Rain and Cold Feels Like Home"

8f92/1233266036-truckdiary.jpgHollywood round two consists of fourteen dollar Maker's shots, and a club relatively indifferent to weird electronic music done with gameboys. However, there are a few Seattle homies out to see us. Good to see you Barry, Colin and Lily.

After a drunken night in a motel to deal with Hollywood, we head towards San Francisco. We play on an awesome pirate radio show. It feels good to play for some appreciative music fans. We crash at an old friend's loft in Lower Haight. Janelle, you are awesome.

Ten hour drive the next day to get to a really cool club in Salem called simply The Space. It is raining and cold. January in the Northwest. So close to home we can feel it. Play a relatively solid set despite being exhausted, and acquire some new fans. Again, feels great to play for some appreciative people. Thanks to Doug for having us, and Salem peeps for dancing. Crash at our friend Katie's house.

We have to drive through Seattle to get to Bellingham, and it takes a lot of effort to not just go home. We end up glad we didn't with a good show at Western, and end the night with a road sixer between us. Overall, probably too much fun was had.
