November 7th, 2009 - Kimo's

Arrived into San Francisco around Noon,
picked up the rental and navigated to
Sam Adato's Drum shop to pick up the set Sam had generously arranged for us, then off to Kimo's to load in and skulk about. Apparently Kimo's was once a gay bar with a concert area located on the second floor; actually reminded
me of the bar on the Morrison Hotel album cover. We loaded in and were then off to explore the coffee shops, restaurants and book stores until dark when we noticed all of the creatures coming out around the Gulch, including Ricearoni, Tucan Sam and the asian "Troll Lady" who would riddle all passers by while wearing no less than 6 layers of sweaters. Entropy Destiny opened the show and brought out the weird and painted Art Rock; Blessure Grave were next in what proved an inspiring initial performance and the first of many we would see while on tour together. We then closed with a decent first set, consisting of a sturdy representation from the Ent. catalog...started with Queens and 2 of the new songs and standards including Romance. After loading up and whisked out, we were abducted by a group of toothless trannies and taken to GrubStake, an all-nite eatery, then saved by Amy from VVV. We then retired with the first
of many, many Mexican meals sure to come.
