No boobs but a huge d**k

11.00 in the bus outside the venue in San Marcos, CA. We should've ended the tour last night. That would have been a perfect ending for the tour. Brilliant venue, House Of Blues, excellent location on the Sunset Boulevard, excellent audience and great shows from the bands. Tonight will just be sort of an anti-climax after last night. Although I didn't get any boobs photographed so even if the tour will probably end with an anti-climax I personally still have a chance of ending it on a high note.

Yesterday was a blast. The whole day was. Just hanging around Strip, getting a lot of sun and beer. In the morning Jonne, Cane, Matson and myself went for a breakfast to a bar close to the venue. Can't remember the name though. Ranch something. Anyway, we were sitting outside drinking our breakfast when a tourist bus passed by and they started taking pictures of us. Probably the tour guide was saying: "And there you can see a few local residents, famous rock musicians, who have probably just woken up from the gutter and dragged themselves to the bar to get drunk again. So sad. Take pictures."

As I said, the venue was just brilliant. Looks really cool outside and everything inside is just excellent. Including the local crew. Or at least the part that I met meaning basically backstage hostess and security. Presale was about 500 so I'd say there was about 700 people in including huge amount of record label people and journalists.

After the show basically everyone from the tour went to Rainbow Bar & Grill to have a drink. I guess that's sort of a must to go there when you're in Hollywood. We also saw there my all-time favourite actor Ron Jeremy. Nice. I was slightly disappointed that I wasn't wearing my "Ron Jeremy Fan Club" shirt though.

Oh, yeah. There was an earthquake during Moonsorrow's set. I didn't even notice that but some were saying that it was actually shaking the buildings.

14.45 in the bus. Crappy venue that apparently has the rule set by the local police that every minor under the age of 21 has to leave after 22.00. This would mean that some of our audience would have to leave before we even start. As Swashbuckle guys would say: "That sucks, bro." The tour damager is trying to sort things out, extending the time with the police or something. And of course there's always a possibility of cancellation if we basically can't play.
