Mill Valley is actually not that sterile. I had a great time tonight at a joint called "sweetwater". Mitch Stein and his crew played and were thoroughly entertaining. As was the opening act, whose CD I would have bought had they not sold out. Can't remember the name, but it was one crazy old guy from Seattle and his steel guitar. Totally amazing. He barked like a dog and whooped periodically while he sang. Pure genius. Some of it's on tape.

Anyways, time is winding down for me in San Francisco. I have 11 nights left here! Each night ought to be something special, we shall see how it all turns out!
