RM Tour Diary #189 Culinary Delights
 
Well folks, we're out in sunny California again - one of our favorite times of the year!
 
This very fine tour began in Fresno. Thursday we appeared on local NBC (search Red Molly) and then played our first show at Warnor's Center for the Performing Arts. Our good buddy Tony Montalbano (from Roosevelt Dime) rocked the house on drums and also upstaged us with his raffle-drawing skills. :) We sang, laughed, and were gifted homemade jams and honey. 
 
Bankhead Theater in Livermore is a gorgeous venue and we were thrilled to have a nearly full house. With Tony on drums, half his family in the audience, and a cameo by Eben Pariser (also from Roosevelt Dime) on guitar and bass, we had a lively evening in Livermore. May we please come back soon?! 
 
Saturday, Abbie's birthday show (25 again!) was held at West Side Theatre in Newman. The crowd performed a rousing Happy Birthday (let's face it, this song can go south, but you Newmanites were impressive!). We commented on the beautiful almond blossom trees and were gifted a bag of fresh almonds!
 
We showed up to a beautiful old vineyard for our Sunday show at the "The Barn". This is such a sweet concert series- you've never heard such great sound in a barn! Gilroy is known for its garlic - the air is pleasingly full of the stuff - and even boasts garlic ice cream. Can you guess what we were gifted with? Such loot! What culinary treats await us on the rest of this tour? 
 
Other highlights include a stay with Molly's cousin Nancy in Berkeley - and a 5:30 am earthquake!!!  Laurie felt it, but decided to go right back to sleep.  Today we drive North, to the Arcata Playhouse. We have such fond memories of this place, and behold, a sold-out show on Tuesday!
See you soon,
Molly, Abbie & Laurie
