SAN FRANCISCO! - Day One ... America redeems it's self.

Tucked away in the badlands of East Oakland is a lovely little warehouse called the kitten.... something. Kittenhouse? kittensomething. It's the radness anyway:




This is where I stayed for the most part of my SanFran adventure, and meet up with the Polka Dot Dot girls. They'd played a show there before I arrived, with their tour buddy Ben Kamen.
We had a long awaited late night catch up with beer, pizza, oreos and waffles, then bed.

Next morning we ventured over the bridge to SanFran city, had a quick but overwhelming look at Amoeba Records and then went down to the wharf to have a look at the Musee Mecanique. Pretty much the most awesome place on earth. A museum of over 300 antique arcade games... WORKING arcade games. Fortune tellers, peep shows, photo booths, puppet shows, Prize games, full orchestra music boxes, strength tests.







Then we entered the ghettos to set up at a place called the 'Lesbian Mansion', A huge and beautiful house (previously owned by the Spanish royal family) in the middle of a bad, bad neighbor hood.

There were puppies!



And then Music!
