December 04, 1986 - Austin, TX

Show Day - Sunny/Warm

Up at 1PM. I hang out and shower last. Eventually we go to "Mama's Kitchen" for breakfast at 3PM. Then to photo place and buy coffee for tomorrow morning. We go back to the Glass Eye house and rehearse for fun with the Glass Eye equipment. Then to the club for a sound check at 7PM. Good club and sound. We lock the guitars and go to "Liberty Lunch" - no Glass Eye - not here. then to eat with Dave from the 'Love Bubbles'. Back to Liberty - no GE - no set until 11:30.

Liberty Lunch was a well loved venue (we played some great shows there later). We met David from the 'Love Bubbles' for our famous Tacoland show.

We go back to the cave club and hang out. Scott [GLass Eye original drummer] shows up. We play our first set - pretty good. Glass Eye shows up and we play our second set - pretty rotten - well sloppy. Encore with the "Fez" and I kick over my drum kit. I think a great end to the tour. Hang out - Brian loved it anyway. We go and eat then home to bed. We start recording the album next Wednesday.

This diary goes up until December 16th. I'll keep posting until the end.

This diary is too much fun - if you can find some other tour diaries from later years and post them, I will, in fact, read them.
