Jesus as fashion statement.

Steve Miller was better than I had anticipated. Eric and I enjoyed the show.

The venue was new to us, as well. We'd never been to Konocti Harbor -- sort of the Branson of the 70's rock set. What's striking about Konocti Harbor is the sale and consumption of alcohol on a grand scale.

Security was letting people into the show with their own alcohol as long as it was in a glass. The ampitheater was ringed with bars -- a continuous strip of alcohol vending -- and there was never a wait of more than 3 or 4 people for a 32 oz margarita or Red Bull with Yegermeister. Ew.

Also: I saw three seperate hippie freak or biker-looking fellas wearing tie-dyed or motorcycle t-shirts that were Christian shirts. One had a Harley overshadowed by a giant wooden cross. One was a wild tie-dye with Jesus on the front (complete w/ crown of thorns) and the lettering "Jesus Freak". And I thought "Abercrombie and Finch" was gross.

Eric spotted a man with two large tattoos running down the back of each arm: White and Power.
So... Steve Miller was great, but i don't think I'll be leaving the Bay Area to go see a non-GD-franchise band anytime soon. People out there are scary.

Back hurts, chest hurts, today & tomorrow to get ready for our road trip. That's my story!
