Hooray for monterey~! we had a Great show tonight if i do say so myself ;) we played well, there was a great crowd, a nice venue, very accommodating promoter and soundman — what else could you ask for?? well, how about a ton of great reviews, write ups and mentions in the local Monterey papers! woohoo!! thank you to everyone who promoted our show tonight- we were very fortunate to have some very nice things said about us in the different local print papers, blogs, reviewers and such. It for sure helped bring out the crowd and helped us sell some merch to put gas in the van ;)

i suppose it isnt polite to toot your won horn,,, but  :)  blogmonterey.com said our show was one of the Top Things To Do this memorial day weekend !

Monterey Herald, when talking about this weekend’s things to do said “Standouts I can mention here include the moody pop-rock of SoCal’s Brightmillion on Saturday night @ Jose’s”

The Monterey County Weekly said

“BRIGHTMILLION AT JOSE’S It’s hard to believe that Southern California’s Brightmillion is a duo. That is not because they can raise an unholy racket like other rock duos including The White Stripes and the Black Keys, but because their songs on Myspace including “Wasting Away” and “Even Though” are so radio ready that it’s hard to imagine that just two people can create such a polished product.”

thanks to Yuki for taking photos and video of us tonight!! new videos from last night and tonight are posted on our YouTube channel- www.youtube.com/brightmillion — go check em out ;)

pics are posted in our flickr account and here!

we met a bunch of very nice folks tonight and got some local scoop on where to go, what radio stations are cool to hit next time we are in town,  good venues in surrounding towns etc. we’ve been learning alot this tour about what/where to go on the next time we pass thru. most of the venues we’ve played were great and worth hitting again, but it is nice to get the local insider opinion on where we would be well received next time we are in town – and finding out about new cities in the areas, that might have cool clubs, radio stations, etc that might like us.  we are trying to keep good notes on all we are taking in… so we can remember everything!!

we will spending the night again in Monterey and we then have a few DAYS OFF!! after shows the last 5 days straight i think i can use a little breather    whooo   we have a couple days off until we are in Las Vegas, but plenty to do in the meantime…. so maybe not a whole lot of resting,, BUT,, we’ll try. we will be in Vegas thurs and fri, then barstow sat, and los angeles the following thursday. we will be driving back to LA Sun at some point, depending on when we wake up…. its 4am already… so probably not a super early start ;)

a couple days in LA to regroup b4 heading up to vegas. — what to do with all that time..??? !! well, maybe get the a/c fixed on the van, tune up/spark plugs, radiator flush, oil change for the van,, print more tshirts, fix some cables that have been destroyed on the shows, charge some batterries.. hmmm i guess way too much to do!

we are starting to book the next tour and i already feel like we are running behind getting it organized soon enough– if anyone knows of any independent booking agents… send em our way!!! our goal is to be on the road AT LEAST 100 days this year.

thanks everyone for the support so far on the tour, we hope to end it with a bang in Los Angeles, @ LaBrie’s june 10th

we had a nice day in Monterey today, Tony trying for a Chipotle ‘2 burritos at one sitting’ record, a walk on the pebble beach board walk, some ocean views, rock climbing, fresh air hiking, then to wrap it all up tonight after the show, Tony tried the japanese food Nattou for the first time… it is a fermented soy bean type food, that i think is very GROSS,,, but lots of folks love it… to me it smells disgusting, sort of like dirty socks… but tony was set on trying it ,, well, it was an adventure, and,,, I was rolling video the whole time!! i’ll post on youtube tomorrow.. WARNING!!! the video may or may not end in tony vomiting…!!!!   uuuugggggg

looking forward to seeing the fat cats back in LA and seeing if the garden is still alive,, and sleeping in a bed will be nice too….!

oh, and we found Holman highway here in monterey , which i’ll take as a good omen for th future,  not sure why that would be, but hey, its my highway so i’ll take  it how i want to ;)
