San Fran

Tonight's show at the Independent was really different. Damon & Naomi had an oboe player join their set, adding another layer of dreaminess. Then Takeshi's bass was busted, so Boris played an angrier, fuzzier, darker set to accommodate it... I saw some transplanted L.A. friends Joe (GR proofreader alumnus and world traveler) and Mike (who works at Revolver now). Ah, I remember when I used to see friends at shows.

Before the show, D, N, sax player Bhob and I walked down to Haight to say hi to two of the newer members of the GRSF crew. Unfortunately, none of them could make it to the show.... Damon, Naomi, and I moved along to Amoeba and were too late to see Boris's in-store but caught a few songs from OM.

Now I'm at GRSF Myleen's house. Her air mattress doesn't work but the sofa is looking pretty good. Tomorrow, it's back home to L.A. Out of the minivan and back to reality.
