We left our home at 7am. The supposed 8 hour drive took nearly10 hours but that was due to SoCal traffic....Friday...first week of summer vacation...I'm thankful it was just 10 hours...could've been worse.
We had to track down the organizer at the event as he was impossible to reach by phone...not unusual for someone in his position on the first day of a large event. Especially in LA area. H e also had the trouble of vendors running late, banner people screwing up and a number of other visits from Murphy's Law.
The hotel required one of the bosses to drop what they were doing to check us in due to some unusual rules the hotel had. But since this was the only hotel in the area that allowed dogs and one of the other acts has dogs ...in fact, it is a dog act...this hotel was set aside for the entertainment. It's not a bad place.
We had dinner at a local new joint. Kind of a family place with a variety of food choices. better than Denny's for sure. I give it 5-6 out of Ten....The Garden Square is the name of the place.
Early to bed is the plan as we have to load in the show around 7 tomorrow morning. The tough part is we have to carry the stuff over 300 yards to get to the stage since it is inside the convention center.
