Driving / Pistoleros

Man, sleep was good last night. Slept right through til 9AM this morning. However, it wasn't particularly fun waking up, knowing it's my last full day in Tempe.

The plan for today was to drive around Tempe. Katie needed some time to rest, as she's still not feeling good. We made a move around 12PM. Got a proper photo of Sun Devil Stadium and A mountain. Driving down Ash / Rio Salado, we decided to walk along Tempe Lake. On the way to Tempe Beach Park, we speculated on where the Ash Avenue bridge once stood. On parking at Tempe Beach Park, we actually stumbled across what is left of the Ash Bridge, which was really cool. Makes perfect sense too, as it's right at the end of Ash Avenue. [wink] After this, we walked around Tempe Beach Park, which looked / seemed so much smaller during the day - this was the location of the Tempe Music Festival, that we attended the first night in Tempe. The park is really nice, and today was a glorious day. It would have been nice to have spent more time there, if we didn't have more to do.

After two hours of driving, Katie needed to have a rest, so we headed back to the apartment. After a cigarette, I realised she wasn't the only one who needed a rest. I collapsed on the bed, and slept for two and a half hours. Sleep was the last thing I wanted to do on my second last day here, but god I needed it. We were woken by a call from Denise - with sucky news. Thomas (The Pistoleros / Ghetto Cowgirl - and incidently her guitar teacher) told her that the Pistoleros played last night. WHAT?!? The one band I was going to miss out on seeing (they, in addition to Dead Hot Workshop, played at the Last Exit 2 year anniversary show, while we were on our road trip), and they friggin' played last night!? Really sucks missing that. But oh well.
