It's the Potters!

Last night was an exhausting one!  My friends Harry and The Potters played here in L.A. last night.  One of my good friends, John Clardy is on tour as their drummer.  The tour is entitled "The Unlimited Enthusiasm Tour".  The name is by far, more than suiting...  Potters, and the rest of the bands took over the historic Troubadour, with decorations and little booths consisting of a summer camp theme.  The ULTIMATE summer camp as the theme song explains.  
The bands on tour with the Potters this time around were, Uncle Monsterface, Math the Band, and the ever wonderful Jason Anderson.  All put on a great show.  Every song was an  energetic punch to the stomach.  It was more than draining to say the least..haha.  The audience was young, and were able to withstand and withhold the "energy punches".  I felt in the minority of those over 21 for sure...
This was my first time at the Troubadour.  With all the historic events, and name bands that play there, I was expecting a grand ballroom.  But, it was relatively small, and intimate.  Pretty cool place, with the major downfall being its West Hollywood location.
After the show I went with The Potters over to the world famous Pink's Hotdogs.  This was my first experience at Pink's.. a little overdue seeing that I have been here for almost a year!  Paul treated me to a chili dog, and I am not quite sure if it lived up to the hype, but it was quite tasty.
After Pink's it was around 2:30am, and I let the Potter guys, along with Uncle Monsterface, crash at my place.  It was fantastic getting to see everyone! And, John said he is going to try to come back in August for a couple days, which would be great!

Tonight will consist of CJ's birthday activities. Happy Early Birthday, my friend!
