So wednesday night
i went down to Lost Souls cafe downtown. After watching Terence Leclere open up for the great stand up comedians over there, and then checking out Terence's loft at the old Million Dollar Hotel, I decided to jog home the 8 miles to pico/ la cienega. He said i should blog about my jogging adventures!

Dirty Suits tour diary.
Our last few days have been interesting: we played the Unknown Theater Friday night then headed straight for Santa Cruz- when we got there at 9 am we went to KZSC and got interviewed by DJ Moonshine which was a lot of fun. We played a few songs, hung out a bit in SC then headed to SF to play Cafe Trieste on Market Street. Sunday night we opened up for Jeremy Black's cover band Philharmonica at Mojito's, where the bartender served us up some great, um, Mojitos! Yesterday (monday) we headed down to Coyote hearing studio to polish up two tracks, Bullfighter and Humble. Which we began recording last year. Today we're headed back to Santa Cruz to play the Boardwalk bowl, then back to los angeles.
