Morcheeba Day 21, San Diego, CA
Again, we were foiled by traffic in California and our early arrival was shot. Shocking, I know. We got to 4th & B, which is right downtown and quickly discovered that the whole area was shut down because it was the weekend. Amazing. We eventually ate at Starbucks and went to start the work portion of the day.
What to say about 4th & B. Basically, it's probably the most brutal club I've ever been to. It's ugly, all concrete and sounds like shit. No fun. It took forever to get things working. The people were nice though, so it wasn't all bad, it just made for a really long work day. And the hotel was 5 miles from the venue so we had to blow almost our entire dinner break just to get cleaned up. We did end up having a little time left and found some decent Mexican food though.
The show was quick, sort of painless, but it required some maintenance. Some of the gear got a little sketchy during the show so me and our backline tech were running around trying to fix things for a good portion of the set.
After it was done, it was an early show thank God, we headed back to the Mexican joint where we had dinner to have a couple Corona's with some chips and salsa. There was a really weird dance bar across the street so we had some interesting people watching moments too. After the bar closed, we waited on the bus for the last couple hours before heading to LA.
