Morcheeba Day 1, To Washington, DC (3/23/08)
I was up far too early today to get a flight to Washington, DC to start the Morcheeba tour. Thankfully, it all went rather smoothly, and I got in on time and waited to meet up with our tour manager at the airport. While waiting, I had what was quite possibly the worst espresso ever to come out of a coffee machine. Not a good way to shake off the cobwebs...
After meeting the TM, the bus came to pick us up and we headed out to get it stocked with food and drinks. We eventually settled on a Wegman's in northern Virginia which was one of the most impressive grocery stores I've ever been to. Killer wine selection. When we got to the cash, I confused the poor cashier by telling him we didn't need any bags, just to put everything back in the cart because we were going to unload it all in a bus in two minutes anyways. It took him some time to wrap his head around the concept of not bagging everything, and in the process, he forgot to charge us for 2 cases of beer, which were sitting right in front of him the whole time.
After our stocking trip, we went back to the airport to pick up the band. We found them pretty easily courtesy of the keyboard players massive afro. Everyone got on board, we had an introductory drink, and headed in to town to check in to the hotel.
Once at the hotel, we had to find a way to help the band get over their jet lag, so we set them up in the hotel bar to eat and drink to their hearts content. After a little while we went out for dinner, and around 2am we ended up crashing at the hotel.
