I took off work on Friday and ended up fucking around for most of the day while waiting for the Kayo Dudes to arrive. Unbeknowest to me, half of the guys already made to Berkeley and were incomminicado for the most part until everyone met up at the show. Anyways, I still made a bunch of food and was happy that Toby, Mia, Forbes, Greg and Sam all made it in time to eat (and give me a ride to the show).
For those keeping score, I made: cilantro pesto, vegan ancho chili sour creme, mexican rice, butternut squash (in a mexicali fashion), pickled vegetables, guacamole and a shit-ton of homefried tortilla chips.
the show was awesome, as to be expected. unfortunately due to a late addition of another band, KD only got to play 2 songs, but a lot of people showed up. the other bands were kinda so-so IMO, but whatevah. I had fun hanging out with the dudes.
afterwards, we all went back to my place around 3am and everyone crashed fairly quickly. as expected, my dogs got me up at 4:30 for breakfast and let me go back to sleep until 7 when they demanded more attention. my wife took em out while I cooked cornmeal pancakes, made coffee and chilled while everyone woke up. there was no show that night, so everyone was totally chill and moving slow. took sam to guitar center and the hardware store to get some shit repaired, pointed some guys towards the post office and let peeps check their email.
when everyone got their shit together we all went down to albany waterfront (the bulb) for some light exercise and public art viewing. as you can see from the pictures, it was an amazingly beautiful day. much fun was had and many pictures were taken.
around 3pm I went home and pointed the dudes towards Amoeba. 3-4 hours of sleep had taken its toll.
