It's Hello Kitty night at Dodger Stadium...^^ #bestdayever
It has been 16 days since I last posted hahaha. NYC tonight...^^
Lenticular cloud view from Flagstaff AZ...^^
Short 41 mile drive this morning to The Observatory in Santa Ana, Orange county. Refilled the fresh water tank...^^
Sold out crowd were bouncing...^^
Because the drive to Los Angeles CA was so relatively short, and the follow on show in Santa Ana CA even shorter, for a rare change I was able to catch the band I'm driving for on this tour, Invent Animate.

Very impressive show, sold out too...^^ (the reader board is wrong btw IA headlined)
Didn't take any photos in San Diego but here's the sunrise in the mirror as I drove 500+ miles from Marfa TX to San Diego CA...^^
I did take this photo, at sunset, of my BandWagon parked beside the opener's at El Cosmico in Marfa Texas yesterday, Easter Sunday. It was the 500+ mile halfway stopping point on our way to the next show in Tucson AZ...^^
I didn't actually get any photos at the third show, but here's my oatmeal banana and tea breakfast in Dallas...^^
Last night's venue in Austin TX...^^
Show night 1. House of Rock, Corpus Christi, TX...^^
Welcome, back, to Indianapolis, Indiana...^^
Next leg, Las Vegas to Indianapolis...^^
First stop of the day, Las Vegas, just a short layover though...^^
And off we go, escape from 6.7 California earthquake, didn't see that one on my tour bingo card...^^
Detour Japan McDonald's...^^
Even though I'm vegetarian, there's something very reassuring about getting a notification from McDonald's Japan at 11pm advertising the potato bacon pie is back...^^
This was kind of the end of tour photo. Not often I get to go for some eats with the musicians I drive for, but always welcome...^^
#luckypenny forgot that they are temporarily halting the minting USA 1 cent coins. In Japan they have a 1 yen coin. It feels so light it's like play money or plastic. It's pure aluminum. Pennies and aluminum.
Two lucky pennies in the parking lot. Always a good sign before tour...^^
So I guess this is tour day 0 for me, or is it -1 or even -2
. Travel day for tour driver. Made plain onigiri for lunch, with fresh (real) wasabi. Taking the remainder of the wasabi root on tour as it will spoil if I leave it. Washed down with Mitsuya cider, from Daiso this morning...^^
Instagram let's you download everything you posted. Going to the coffee shop in the morning with my laptop and a 128gb usb thumb drive to download it all before I delete it. Facebook will follow. Twitter was deactivated last year, I don't think there was much on there really anyway...^^
Just realised that letting go of these two motorcycles is a bit like letting go of Facebook and Instagram, all have served their purpose and it's time to move on.
There they go. Always a little odd to see motorcycles I've owned move on. Both were well cared for. But it is a release. Down to just three now, the Triumph Bonneville T120, Suzuki GS500F, and the Honda CM250C.
