I took every ounce of energy to get up after driving back from Mendocino on Saturday.

Thank god I had that shade structure! It was hot!

We had a blast with Inca Silver, and Kiyoshi Foster's band. The weather was perfect and the festival went off with out any major injury's and lot's of good music. I think 150lbs of bacon were consumed over the course of the event. Vegitarians need not apply. Definitley want to come back for this one again.

Baconwood Festival and Bay to Breakers!

Special thanks to Reid Spice for putting on the amazing event known as Baconwood Festival. I really had fun playing bass with Inca Silver on the first night. There was so many cool people doing art, and comedy as well. I have a feeling next year is going to be much bigger. Check out the website for updates on DJ's and Bands for next year at www.baconwoodfestival.com

I also want to thank Joe Colgan, Adan Shwartz, Daniel Stark, and David Solomon for filling in at Bay to Breakers this year. It was the earliest i've gotten up in years. It was a blast and I'd do it again any time though.

 

SPQ rocked the house at Smiley's Saloon in Bolinas! There's something in the air in Bolinas, we played our best show ever on Saturday April, 25 2009! The people at the club and the owner Don Deane were great. We have all ready booked a few more shows and look forward to going back. Special thanks go out to Keith for keeping us supplied with beer after the show was over! We look forward to playing Smiley's in July!
