Drove from San Francisco down to San Diego last night. Really hated to leave. That city is just awesome. MUST RETURN SOON! This trip would have been more amazing except for the fact that we didn't get out of SF until about 2pm...we were just lingering a bit...by the time we got to Santa Cruz, the rush hour traffic was totally gridlocked. To compound this, Jeremy went on a fruitless 1hr excursion to find a T-Mobile store so he could fix his phone. I just waited in a coffee house...apparently, the address he was looking for did not exist. A Grand waste of daylight...By the time we got to Big Sur...darkness. When I was younger, I would have spent this moment being mad and pouty because something didn't work out, but we just pulled the car over near a treacherous cliff, turned the lights out and sat outside looking out over the ocean at a beautiful yellow fingernail moon and a sky full of bright, clear stars. I've seen a lot of great starry nights, but I've never seen them looking over an ocean cliff. Really special. Here's a few pics:

Jeremy was really sleepy, so I drove the rest of the night down 101 south through Los Angeles to San Diego. Los Angeles is just an urban disaster...just never-ending sprawl. But it's still kind of interesting reading all of the signs with well-known places and streets, We got into SD around 4AM. I just drank a bunch of coffee and listened to news/talk radio...viva la "Coast to Coast".

Right now I'm sitting on stage at San Diego State University getting ready to sound check. Looks to be a good show tonight. Several of the groups are not familiar to me.
