SCOTT HARRIS' TOUR JOURNAL: June 14 - Recap of Sacramento Show





So, David and I woke up today feeling nice, refreshed from the sleep in. Didn't have to be at the venue until 5pm so I was able to chill out at the hotel and relax. Sacramento is boiling hot and really not the most interesting city in the world but oh well. Got to the venue around 4:30pm and realized we had no sound man because Hilary McRae and her people were tied up in San Fran. James (Teddy's monitor man) saved my ass and did the sound check. Thanks, James! Anyways, showtime came and only about 70 people showed for the show. Still had fun with the crowd and almost everyone supported by getting the CD or snapping a pic. Thanks to the Sacramento fans for the love and send those pics! Even David was asked to snap pics with some admiring "fans"! The promoter at the venue (Empire Events Center) said that after we loaded out Empire turns into a dance club. Took one look at the seedy line up and opted out. Back to the hotel, had a few drinks and chilled in the room with Jordan (Teddy's drummer), David, James and the Covergirl ladies (the tour sponsor). Good fun and bonding. Tomorrow we're off to Petaluma, CA for a show that night so check back for updates. Later.

SCOTT HARRIS' TOUR JOURNAL: June 13 - Recap of San Francisco Show




We arrived at the Great American Music Hall around 2:30 PM. We had a quick scare when the gas gauge was not working and had to drive about 10 miles an hour for about an hour with the air conditioning off but we eventually found gas. We loaded in and went to grab some food. I have never been to San Francisco but apparently we walked in a seedy direction. We wandered around for a little bit and then sat down to eat some Thai food. David picked the place and it was actually really good. We waited around for a while; sound checked and ate some really good meatballs from the venue. The show was once again pretty solid. Probably not as many people as the night before but it was a great crowd. Took some interesting pictures with almost everyone at the show. Even got a shot a picture with a Dad who became a huge fan quickly. He may have been wasted when he told me 600 times how good I was but I'll take it. Good dude. David even got a shout out when I was on stage. Yea.... David. Niiiiice.
We loaded up and drove the one and a half hours to Sacramento, just got to the hotel (3am). Looking forward to two straight nights in the same hotel.......I'll be back soon. G'night.
