Chromeo Day 12, San Diego, CA

Today we're at the House of Blues in San Diego, another classy place ranking up there right behind the Fillmore. It was a fairly painless afternoon, after surviving the early morning drive, and before we knew it, we were sitting on a patio eating some Mexican food. Another really good Mexican place that I'd been to before and has yet to disappoint. After dinner, where we ate way too much yet again, we rolled back to the show.

It was another sold out show, more crazy kids, and to top it off, it was one of the guys' birthdays, so we brought out a cake during the encore. Everything went really well again.

After the show we had a little hang time tonight, maybe 1 hour, so we went to a place down the street. Not many people were there, which was good for us, and the bartender ended up coming over to chat for a bit. Turns out he used to live in Ottawa, Canada, where I grew up, where he played semi-pro rugby, and bartended at a place called The Duke of Somerset, where I spent many thousands of nights when I used to work at Barrymore's Music Hall a couple blocks over. It was pretty wild.

After spending a little time there, we got called back to the van so we could start the 36 hour non-stop drive to Chicago.

Yes, you read that right.
