Tour Diary; Day 1: Poolside At the Ramada... What Are We Here For Again?

Day 1... 6:20PM:

So after touching down in L.A. last night we found our way to the Ramada Plaza Inn on Santa Monica Blvd. in Hollywood... not of course before stopping at a diner for Avocado and Bacon Cheeseburgers. Shawn Setaro our faithful vegan bass player opted out, of course... PSSSSHHH. (Disclaimer: Rarely are we serious. Bone Gunn in no way condones the awful treatment of cows (mmmmm) and other animals (*smacking lips*) by the country's meat industry and supports vegans in their perseverance and dedication to respecting life.)

Anyway, this morning we woke up to the hot L.A. sun we've all heard so much about and had a nice dip in the hotel pool. We travelled down La Cienega and found a cheap sushi place. The eel and spicy tuna blew our minds. Shawn ate tofu... what's with this guy? Finally, we went to Guitar Center to pick up some necessities but ended up spending an hour drooling on guitars that we can't afford. I would do some pretty terrible things for the '71 Martin D-18 I played... terrible things.

So here we are in L.A., enjoying ourselves and OH YEAH... we're here to play shows! I almost forgot. Tonight we play with Mia Doi Todd at the Bootleg Theater. We are very excited. Recap on that later. Much love to our folks and fans and folkfans around the country. Thanks for stopping by. More fun from the road later...
