San Francisco

The Cesspool
(and those fuckin' IDIOTS just LOVE their communist mayor...)
You would think that the city whose destination all tha East Cast Commie-Libs go to when they bypass "Fly-Over Country" (the rest of the USA) would be a very nice place... Yeah, right... I stumbled around that city for HOURS, visting various cyber cafes, catching up with friends...(they have 3). San Francisco is a CESSPOOL.... It seemed like every other person there was a vagrant... they all were talking to themselves...the streets smelled like pee.... it was disgusting... I looked like the only normal person around.... and I don't look normal...(laughs)  The city was so DIRTY...made ME feel dirty just walking around there. The transportation system is a piece of CRAP...busses go for one block, then turn, go for a block, turn again....worse than downtown Houston...LOL Anyway...

San Francisco
The Shining City By the Bay
Or...What a difference a day makes...
The difference between the parts I saw Monday and the parts I saw Tuesday were like night and day....We got to tha venue, Bimbo's 365 Club...... I actually liked that place, even though the Pearl console took a serious voltage spike, and got seriously fried..... To make things worse, the console I was using belonged to Rob Steele, the North American rep for Avolites......(cries softly to himself)..... Oh well... After we set up, I wandered around the 'nice' area of San Fransico... The people were all upper middle classs to wealthy, and I was the one who looked like a vagrant... (I was looking for a place to buy a non-tourista looking set of clothing, since all my stuff was back at the hotel, and the venue had a shower....) The house lighting girl, Kelly, was a real babe... She better have been, since she's the new Camlock poster girl...... I'm so fuckin' PISSED that my pics didn't turn out... she held the flashlight as I held the camera for our little pic...... Anyway.... Lamb got the best lights of the tour to that date.... so many people were watching... it wasn't a good place to be with no business cards..... the monitor guy for Nine Inch Nails and Barry Manilow (helluva combination to work for, eh) told Marko that the lights were some of the best he's seen.....  Vuca was most entertainig that night.... Not his performance... he missed that... he was plastered out of his mind, and came out of his shell.. We referred to that version of Vuca as 'Evil Vuca'.... We escaped San Francisco without an earthquake or fog, and headed straight for LA....of course, I was asleep.....

Technically Speaking

Here, we did what would be the setup for the remaining dates on the tour....Two I-Beams on top of one case, one on the floor in front of the case and one in front of the side fills on each side of the stage... Quick and easy setup... it took an hour from the time they were removed from their cases to when they were fired up for  position programming... That's the only way to go....
