However im not, and its 2:30 in the morning and im eating 2.00 tacos out front of a Venice hostel as me and Ewen go in and entertain our selves until we get told to go to a bed. Another first.
At this point Adam has took off back to North Hollywood and will not lay off the constant nagging, fortunately for me im phone less & computer-less. Iv e shuffled through multiple "loner" phones and im waiting on my repair. Somewhere between me looking for places, getting my phone fixed, getting my computer fixed i receive a text. It's Adam, "ive wasted sooooo much time waiting for you, what is going on blah blah" You have to imagine here i am doing what i can to make this guys time in LA beneficial and its now become a ridiculous circus of babysitting. I simply reply, "hey brother, iv e got a-loner phone, you shouldn't be down here wasting time, im not" Silence.........
As it turns out my hard drive was fried and i regain my communications on all fronts. Ive since followed up with Keith ( a drummer i had met at Namm) it turns out he lives in Santa Monica . We set up a jam and see if we can get this project rolling, i invite a guitar player and friend from Venice to join on as lead guitar and looks like we can get things going.
On the home front , i ditched the hostel after getting screwed over at the last place. I had taken on a rental car and now have all my belongings in it and im mobile. Les had renegotiated a deal for the unit beside the one that we just got outbid. However to move into that one there we snags, the current tenants had to be evicted. This posed problem #1and problem #2 is they had been on a bender the past year and the place was tore up.
So the days of living in my car in Venice had began, i figured out a workable system. I would get towels from the gym, roll them up in the windows and then take my sleeping eye patch and put that on with ear plugs. You generally have to deep in Venice to find a quiet and dark street as the circus is always in town here. In any-case i got it down, quick. Here's a pic
So from this command center i started work on forming my band , man i miss The Ride (my Toronto back up band. In-between, the real estate agent had got these girls evicted and it Les wanted me to do a walk through before we committed. So when we get there its a mess, the place was tore up from the floor up, so we me and Les know call a meeting. Adam is out he disappeared and bailed and now isn't returning my messages as im trying to get back the remainder of my belongings and square up the money and tab he ran up with me, but hes m.i.a. So me and Les have a sitting down, the place is ours if we take it but its beat up, the agent says the owner is up for doing minor work but not willing to give us a cheaper deal on the lease. So we go over everything and leave it at that, Les goes back to them and they evaluate the damages and come back to us with a deal. They will completely renovate it if we sign on to it, the catch they are going to need 30 days.
Oh man, im on tour , can i do 30 days in a car. well see
