We had a fun trip down to LA to play Downtown 81, and The Prospector in Long Beach. 2/3's of us were sick but we still tried to bring it! Once again the guys in The New Fidelity proved themselves to be stand up guys. Shawn and his fiancee put us up and fed us eggs and 2lbs. of bacon Monday morning. Can't argue with that.
Here's a little travelogue John put together. Being in a band is just like "Turn the Page" by Bob Seger!
