Back again for the first time....we arrived at Pomona Glass house shortly after we spent half an hour searching a pretty cool thrift shop outside the venue. A car almost hit Ian and when he caught his breath we loaded in, sound checked, and met everyone who we are touring with. The show went well. I seemed to be pretty well received. I was happy with the performance. "I don't like you" wins best song of the night for me. Sold a bunch of Cd's and shirts. Signed a lot of autographs and had some first times occurrences. Signed a shoe, a bunch of arms, a face, jeans and more. Hilary and Teddy were both impressive. Truly not just saying that. They were really good. We hopped in our cover girl van and drove until about 3:30am. Stopped in Bakersfield, CA. Didn't know where I was until I asked David. Walked into our hotel room and there was somebody in it.....sleeping. REALLY weird. Went downstairs, got a new room and passed out until 6:45am. Got some food and onto San Francisco to the Great American Music Hall. Sitting in the venue, listening to Teddy's sound check....I'll get back to you tomorrow.

SCOTT HARRIS' TOUR JOURNAL: June 10 - Arrive in Los Angeles
Welcome to the first posting of the tour journal for Scott Harris' Summer Tour 2008. Stay tuned for many, many more......
I flew to LA on the morning of June 10. We picked up my tour manager, David at LAX shortly after my manager, Ian and I landed in Long Beach. The flight was a jungle gym. Too many little kids climbing on everything and throwing things at each other. Shane Botwin from "Weeds" sat behind us. I tried to convince Ian it was him the whole flight. He had a weeds backpack on after the flight which was confirmation. Would have said hi but seemed a little weird being he looks 10 and that's creepy to me.We got to the hotel in the afternoon. The entire making the band was chilling in our lobby. I would have had no idea but obviously David knew everyone in the band. Diddy was nowhere to be seen. We ate lunch on the roof in the sun and drank beers. Ideal situation. Beautiful weather. I met an old friend of mine Rene for a few at a BBQ he was having in West Hollywood. Anyway, we checked out NRG studios, which was really nice. We bounced and watched the Lakers game at Ian's friends. Entourage house from season one was across the street and Beck lived next door. Gotta go get ready for the first show tomorrow in Pomona....check back soon!
