May 20. The Cavern. Dallas, TX.

Dallas was pretty incredible. I’m used to seeing weird security solutions in Oakland, but I found it strange that there was a guard posted at the entrance to the Motel 6! I guess they must have experienced some rash of drive in crimes or something.

Anyway, the show went well. The cavern was a small place, so it felt very intimate. The promoters Jeff and Toni were incredilby nice and let us get prepped at their space instead of the club. I got Jeff's review of Star Wars 3, since I won't be able to see it for a few more weeks... :(

We were the first band to go on, and everything went well. I forgot to change one of my effects on the last song, but it actually sounded good.

Next up was Machine In The Garden who had a great set. At one point, though, Roger broke a string and had to borrow my guitar. No prob. The show must go on!

Next up was Hungry Lucy with a great set as always. I found a few unique ways to film their set, like through mirrors and stuff.

The street we played on was amazing, there were probably thousands of people in the bars and walking down the street. It reminded me of my early days in Livermore or some scene from ‘American Graffiti’, It took us forever to drive a block.

That’s about it. We head for New Orleans tomorrow.
