Why don't children understand that you crawled through the door at 3:30 a.m. and 7:30 a.m. is too early to get up?

So, we played a show that started at 11:30. Alert viewer/fan, Carol, noticed that this show went on pretty late. We, for the record, would like to say that, yeah, it was WAY late.

Here's a sample conversation of some potential concert-goers before our show:

9pm
Bob: You wanna go to that Pushstart show tonight in Santa Monica?
Joe: Totally!! It is going to ROCK!! I hear their new cd will be available too!
Bob: NO WAY!! That's excellent!! Where is it?!
Joe: Rusty's in Santa Monica!! It's cool there. There's a surfboard on the wall and the drummer for the band playing before them is, like, the doctor guy from Crossing Jordan!!
Bob: NO WAY!! I love that show. That's the one with CSI people investigating crimes and stuff, right?
Joe: Well, sort of. It's more about a morgue, and then these really cool/weird/hip morticians who solve crimes after the fact...sort of.
Bob: I can NOT miss this show.
Joe: What time is happening?
Bob: Pushtart goes on at 11:30.
Joe: 11:30...that's a little late. Doesn't Saturday Night Live come on then?
Bob: C'mon, we HAVE to go. It will rock.
Joe: Ok. We can sleep in tomorrow.
Bob: Cool.

10:35 pm

Joe: Bro. I'm not so sure about this show tonight. Are they playing anywhere locally anytime soon? I don't think we're going to be able to make the show tonight.
Bob: Yeah. That sounds good. Let's catch 'em when they're closer to the O.C.
Joe: Yeah. I hear J-Lo is on Saturday Night Live tonight anyways...


Back in the real world...
I got home around 3:30 a.m....Silas came in around 7:30 a.m.
"Daddy? Daddy, wake up! Wake up, Daddy!! WAKE UP!!"
"Ok, buddy. I'm up." Daddy rolls over and pretends to be asleep, hoping it will become a reality.
"DADDY!"
"Ok. I'm up."

How can I say no to THIS face?



Note to self. Play a show at The Press in Claremont December 10th with Tipsy Jack.
Be the opening band.
START playing somewhere between 9:30 and 10:00.
STOP playing somewhere BEFORE the time we STARTED at Rusty's Surf Ranch.



Celebrating Eric's birthday was also cool. He's older now. And hotter I might add.

That's not some GAP model you're looking at. That's ERIC SHOUSE, HOT BASS PLAYER of PUSHSTART WAGON.

I think it was all worth it to just hang out with the guys (and all you sweet people who came) and play a few songs and just relax. It WAS a very low pressure show. We didn't have to deal with the typical club thing where they jam three bands back to back to back and get them on and off as quickly as possible. I actually really enjoyed the slow, leisurely set up not having to tear everything down at the end.

So, all in all, Rusty's was uber-cool, but really late. I mean, they film the LATE show at 4:30 pm, right?
