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)

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...^^

Detour Japan McDonald's...^^

Allen Walker @banddriverallen.bsky.social · Apr 9

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.

Allen Walker @banddriverallen.bsky.social · Feb 7

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.
