Days 28&29
We pulled into Oakland and hit up a Bank of America to put some money on the card for gas and dump our change bucket
This particular branch didn’t accept loose change though so I counted 20 some dollars out by hand
I had gross fingers after that
Apparently the van decided one of the first things we should do here in California is blow a tire
We pulled over and got it changed fairly quickly
Despite almost being hit numerous times by people who didn’t feel the need to switch lanes, we were glad everything went smoothly
We pulled into a few walmarts but none of them would let us stay
Finally found a parking lot that would put us up for the night
We woke up the next morning and grabbed some burger king an spent the majority of the day watching movies and playing ball in between cars
90% sure we witnessed a man get into the car of someone of the female persuasion and then receive sexual favors
Also 90% sure this was in exchange for currency
We hastily made our way over to the venue after this and found out the boys wouldn’t be spending anytime aside from playing in the venue since it was 21+
The show went fairly well and I got to see some old friends and made some new ones as well
An old massage schoolmate, Sandy, and her husband, made it out as well as Chloe who I finally got to meet after knowing for a good three years
Also observed that a good number of people at the show owned iPhones
Always a good icebreaker to have something in common
After begging for change we picked up our door earnings and headed out to sandy’s for the night
We got in around 2 and raided her pantry, showered, and passed out
Five traveling guys in a bedroom means stink
That room needs to be aired out
