12th of March, ourhauz, S. Diego

Long bike ride in the morning, came back home, then Cacau made a mini barbecue, just for me, Gabo and herself, cool! Jacuzzi session, Then Margaret showed up and took Gabo, Felipe and me for a ride. We went to Ocean Beach, nice place, kinda hippie, rsrs! Lunch at theBlue Parrot, very spicy for Gabo, hehe...She left us at home, then we passed at Gage's to pick our things, and there we met Gage's pet, a 6-foot boa constrictor, incredible! It liked Damaceno, and stayed in his arms for a long time (we DO have photos of this, but they are not published in order to keep our drummer's moral integrity intact in Brazil).
By night we played at Bodega de La Maiz, another warehouse close to Gage's warehouse. This show was arranged by Margaret, who became very close to the band. What a cool girl! The show was alright, a jazzy one. Igor and Paula, friends from Brazil, showed up there right at the last song, heehh! After we all came back to our house for a couple of beers. No fast food today. We're getting better, ehehh!
(Obs- the photo above is actually from Gage's Warehouse, 'cause the photos from Bodega aren't here, hehe!)

11th of March, Ourhaus, S.Diego

Today we have a gig in a place called Voz Alta, an art gallery near Gage's Warehouse. That sounds good... After lunch, me and Gabo went to Garnet St., looking for some cheap clothes. after, Carl's Jr., what a deception, the photo is much better than the sandwich itself, heehe. Back home, jacuzzi, shower, then we put our stuff in the car and went to Voz Alta. What an incredible place! The paintings belonged to a local artist, Cesar Castañeda, very cool! The place was kinda empty, but the show was very good, anyway. Each one of us played in a corner of the room, totally spread. And we earned cool t-shirts, the whole band. Later, guess what? Yes, Jack in the Box. We should be sponsored by them. Home, South Park session, sleep.

10th of March, In- ko-pah Desert, S.Diego

Woke-up early, and went to the desert with Damaceno, Cacau and Robert. Felipe and Gabo preferred to stay at home. A hour later, we were at the desert, very close to USA border. On the other side of a huge wall, it's Mexico. Amazing. It reminded me the famous Pink Floyd's song... Shooting day! 38 Colt, 45, 9mm, 22 rifle, shotgun... Damn, how can it be that something so dangerous can be, at the same time, so fun? For a beginner I did very well. And Cacau shooting was an unforgetable and hilarious experience too! As the sun was going down, we started our journey back. Before going home, we visited Derren, Damaceno's friend. Good fellow. Albertson's, home, shower, dinner and South Park session, just a perfect day!

8th March, Ourhouse, S. Diego

Breakfast, then bike ride with Cacau, along Garnet St. Some nice stores, but the gold mine was Thrift Trader, a second-hand clothes store. Four items for $20. Perfect! Home, lunch, Albertson's, sunbath in the backyard... By night, we wenty to Gage's Warehouse, for another show. Well, it seems we're growing a fan club here, hehe! Stephanie, Maria and Linda are the headmasters'. We played two sets of 9 songs each, very cool. Later, Jack in the Box, our savior. As I couldn't get to sleep, I went for a night walk, all by mysef. Nobody on the streets. Only the shivering cold fuckin' wind and a cat or two...Cool...

7th March, Ourhouse, S. Diego

Ihop's pancake breakfast with Sergio, Madalena, Cacau e Damaceno. Delicious! Then we went back home, picked some clothes up and went to John's studio, to shoot some photos of the band. Awesome session, the guy is pretty damn good! Later, chating with Sergio, he told me that John is one of the most expensive photographer of S. Diego. Cool... lucky us! There were solo photos as well, very good vibe. We got back home, dinner, then John showed up with 2 dvds full of of photos and a printed one of myself, fuckin' cool! The freezing weather continues. Sleep!

6th of March, Our house, S. Diego, 11:00pm

Breakfast burritos with Cacau and Damaceno, then a lonely bike ride along Pacific Beach, till it's south end, while everybody stayed at home, minding their own business. No problem going south, but the return... against the wind... stupid wind! After, Gabo, Cacau, Madalena and I went to Ralph's in order to buy meat and other things for evening's barbecue. Damn, today was really shivering cold! By night, full house: Sergio and Norah, Madalena, Robert, Maile, John, Charlie, Jennifer, Carol and Fred. Tons of beer, meat (excellent!) and burguers (blearght!). Later Gabo and I left for a night walk, it was freezing! He went to a party, and I headed home. Green dreams...
