San Francisco, CA (Bottom Of The Hill)

Last night's show was at a venue called 'Bottom of the Hill' in San
Francisco. We got into town a little early and hung out around the
venue. Then we did the normal show routine (load in, etc.).

The venue was pretty cool. They had a board with their monthly
schedules of shows (dating back to 1997). We found some pretty awesome
bands on there [Third Eye Blind, Modest Mouse, Death Cab For Cutie, and
even our hometown buddies in Park (R.I.P.)]. It's always cool to see
that some of your favorite bands have played the same venues as you.

The show ended up being amazing! There was a good crowd (~150) and they
loved The Grad's set! They were one of the most responsive crowds I
have ever seen (for The Graduate). The guys played really well too.
Corey's voice is back in full swing, which is great. It's nice to see
them back at their 'A game'. The sound at the venue was pretty good as
well. We killed in merch.

We're now at a hotel part way between San Francisco and L.A. Our show
tonight in L.A. should be excellent. The pre-sale is already over 100
people, which is a great sign. I'll be back to let you know how it
goes!
