Sept 24th.
This is an attempt to chronicle a holiday. The intention is to keep family and friends in touch with my adventures on this short overseas jaunt. Whether or not it is sucessful, we'll just have to wait and see. For my part, I will attempt to detail each days events and highlights. This may not be updated each day but I will try to get something up at least every three days. However, my reliability and advanced sense of disorganisation may mean that you will see only this entry for the duration of the trip. I hope this will not be the case... I hope.
Let's run through the itinerary.
Sept 27th Fly out to LA, arrive Sept 27th... very fast plane. Stay overnight at Westin Hotel LAX.
Sept 28th, flying to Phoenix on route to Tempe Arizona. This is where I'll catch Mastadon live at the Marquee Theatre. No, not catch a Live Mastadon...The Band Mastadon. Some of you will know then, most will not, it doesn't matter. Great band, should be wild.
Next day back to LA and another night at the Westin before heading over to Bakersfiled on the 30th. Staying o'night. In the morning I pick up the Harley and take off on the 9 days ride through King's Canyon, Yosemite Nat Park and Death Valley. This is the primary reason for the trip and it should be a hoot. Hopefully I'll get some great photos and interesting stories for you, my faithful readers.
On the 10th, I'm back in LA (again) until the 12th when I fly over to San Francisco for about 8 days. There I'm booked to see BORIS... no, not a Russian, but another band. They are playing at Slims in SF, can't remember the date though. I'll do other shit while I'm in SF, Alcatraz, Fishermans Wharf, cruise the Gay S&M scene...just the usual tourist stuff. All this then back in Melb on the 22nd (or 23rd...)
Last night, the World's most Genial Armenian, Arthur, threw me a going away party to which a few of my close friends came. Fun was had by one and all.
So now I'm pretty much set to go. Loading up the accursed MP3 player, listing "Things to Do" and waiting. My next entry should be from LA, unless I have something more to add before I go.
