Picker, originally uploaded by Rich in Orderly Manor. Those glowing picks were great but they got slippery the more you played… Switched to Tortex and worked up a new design. Quite enamoured with them. Oh, and Soap Commercial. I’ve been waiting for that one forever…
Octavio, originally uploaded by Rich in Orderly Manor. God knows its good to play again.
It was a long time coming. More here.
State Theatre, originally uploaded by Rich in Orderly Manor. Nice old theatre, 12 string Fender, Beach Shack eating(!) and House (there’s more)… Good one. Drunkards on the floor of the hotel elevator upon our return.

This picture may look like the Furs went semi-wild in Vegas. Not exactly the case but Mick from the SWR crew did get us a few minutes at the top of THE Hotel for some Emmys party with his two actress friends. Free tequila, oxygen, and show biz people. Some of whom were very pleasant. ...
LA traffic. I can’t really handle it. Our car is here and so I drove Andi, Mars and Paul to The Grove in Anaheim. Took hours! Then the bus went back to hotel to get R, T and A at rush hour! More hours. So soundcheck was quick and cheerful – we ran through So ...
