California!!!! We set foot in Cali for the first time last night, slept in a fancy mall parking lot, and woke up to the hot So. Cal sun. We checked out San Bernadino Nation Forest... f'ing gorgeous. Got some distance and explored all it had to offer. Later that evening, we performed at The Vault in Redlands, Ca. An awesome venue with a great crowd and great space. We melted some faces and started the Cali portion of the tour off right. Point of interest, Asheville singer/songwriter Oso Rey is a local celebrity at The Vault... this picture was the certerpiece of their famous people wall...

Handsome devil.... So we cut back to AZ to begin a two day run of some fine AZ venues... haunted hotels and avant art galleries. Kind of the sore thumb (route wise) of our tour but we absolutely had to get to AZ sometime while we were out here and this weekend was the only time. We'll have plenty of pictures from our haunted hotel so check it tomorrow. Good night and good luck.
