This hotel is SHIT! Internet you have to pay for that goes the speed of dial up. These boutique hotels have it all wrong. When complete fuck-ups happen I don't want a hamper, internet that works, or not being able to hear the person in the next room take a piss would be more worth while. I'll show you where you can put your green frog... Tantrum over!?!

Met up with the band Black Tide at high noon. Nice guys! Drove over to the Pier and Venice beach and did loads of setups. Funny they showed me a mag that called bass player Zack the Hispanic Duff McKagan. (second from right in the pic BTW) He's not anything close to Mexican!! I said he looked more like Geddy Lee which didn't go down too well!?!? Did another quick set-up at the venue and then went back to the hotel to relax. Checked in online for the flight tomorrow as I didn't feel like being stuck in the middle seats again. Before the show had a quick bite to eat at a sushi place right across from the Key Club. Show was good, they are your typical thrash metal band and not to bad at it!

They also know how to party as when the Rainbow was suggested after the show we all went over there. I'd never been but had heard that it's Lemmy's second home, well that rumour didn't disappoint as he was in the corner! Snapped a quick pic of the band with Motorhead bassist and went back to my drink. Basically watched the goings on unravel the rest of the night into some hilarity that involved Steve the drummer's 20th birthday celebration and a famous widow... By that time I figured it was time to call it a night!!
