+Our tour with the kind-hearted gentlemen of Guster Band USA is undoubtedly underway. We began at the beautiful Warfield Theater in beautiful San Francisco. Part of what makes beautiful San Francisco so very beautiful is that it's home to this row of Victorian homes:
+(missing file)
+The Warfield is aN historic building. For example, its basement housed San Francisco's most infamous Prohibition-era speakeasy and Jerry Garcia (notable ice cream diplomat) considered it his "home venue." It was recently named the best concert venue in the world by someone, probably. Here's a view from the balcony:

+San Francisconians are nice people.

+Our second show with the American Guster Revue was last night, in Los Angeles. If you've never visited L.A., you haven’t been to that city.

+By the way, this is what Ross looked like while we were sound-checking last night. If you were wondering what Joe looked like while he was sound-checking, then this is the perfect picture for you to see right now.

+| 02.29.08 || PHOENIX || rob || We left Ann Arbor on Sunday and began our long trek west-ward. Along the way, we met a man that crafted guitars from strange objects.
+(missing file)
+Our usual vehicle wasn't available, so we rented this one.

+| 03.01.08 || SAN DIEGO || rob || Last night we performed at a club called Beauty Bar.
+(missing file)
+It was located in San Diego's Vietnamese neighborhood. We found a supermarket nearby, and decided to explore the cultural differences between this one and more Americanized grocers.

+The term "chicken finger," for instance, was used in a different, more literal sense. Another product we were unfamiliar with was pickled pig ears (Piggles?).
+(missing file)
+You might think that Vietnamese cuisine is more diligent than ours in utilizing every part of the animal, but take another bite of your hot dog and think again.
+(missing file)
+As recipes can vary, this grocer provided both fresh and cooked blood.
+(missing file)
+We even found pure kra-chai:

+And for dessert, a variety of festive offerings were available.

+Also:

+After our perusal, we returned to the venue for sound check, then performance.

+To begin with, people turn out to our LA concerts wearing their Rock Pants.
+(missing file)
+THANK YOU to everyone who helped make last night's concert the heavy favorite for Best of Tour. (Provo, UT: That's a challenge.)

+But our Los Angeles luck didn't end there. After a hearty Farmer's Market lunch, we spotted a BONA FIDE CELEBRITY:
+(missing file)
+We didn't have our Wayans Brothers Guidebook on hand, but it was definitely one of them.

+We were also ranked #1 at IN-N-OUT Burger. Thanks Y'Kimia!

+Thanks, LA citizenry. You guys are nice. It made up for the traffic, almost.
