Palm Springs I did another Palm Springs run. I swear to GOD every time I do a gig there I SWEAR I'm never going back. Then I get another gig and I'm on the 10 freeway wondering why I can't say NO. At least the 210 that used to come to an abrupt halt somewhere between Fontana and Rialto has been extended. The less time spent on the 10 the better.
It's been humid thanks to some storm of other, and we're in the middle of a heatwave. This is not something we Angelinos are acclimatized to. I had hoped Palm Springs would at least be dry, but alas - coming around that last road bend on highway 111 before entering the city, I knew it was going to be bad.
 Coming 'round the mountain
It was 110+ with 20/30% humidity. That's just sticky and yuck and crawl into the pool and stay there weather. Unfortunately I FORGOT it was a holiday weekend (yeah I KNOW. But since I always work holidays they mean less) so the drive took a good 3 hours. No pool time before getting thrown into the pre-party set up. Too bad actually, the pools looked nice. The hotel also had this nice grassy lounge area, which I like *in theory* so long as its kept immaculate. I'm fussy like that.
 Viceroy lounge
The party was fine.
 Before people
 After people
But it was a really long weekend. The Sunday T didn't go off AT ALL. I don't think the promoters *got* that in their desire to appeal to a lounge-y, drink-y crowd, they're not getting the druggy, stay up all night-y crown that is still UP at 10 a.m. and wants to keep dancing. Plus, yanno the whole 116 degrees in the shade wasn't helping.
I got home, picked up the monster dog - who had a panic attack and had diarrhea, and then proceeded to track it through my friends house. So not only is he no longer welcome, but I handed over half of what I made this weekend to get their carpets/upholstery cleaned/replaced. Next time I go out of town he's staying at his vets. At least they will medicate him if he flips out.

I like before people so much better. And american weather always looks so unreal to me.
And sorry about the unpleasant dogsitting experience. For everyone involved.

I sort of like before pictures of events better to. You get that calm of everything is perfect before drunk people mess it all up.
The dog - GAH! His issues run deeper than anyone knew. I've been working on the stay/leave training that's supposed to help dogs with separation anxiety, but if anything he's *more* clingy. I can't get up to get something from another room without him following, and if he's asleep and notices I'm gone? He runs through the whole house and yard until he finds me.

Welcome to your event X! Oh him? Well the truth is I'm a service human.
...no he's not a service dog, I'm a service human. Yes. He has panic attacks when we're apart so I'm here to calm him down.
...yes I do do tricks as well, thanks
I see this working well :D

Palm Springs? In this heat? I would melt. Hell, I'm melting now, and I live near the beach.
That must have been one hell of a gig to get you out to the desert. What do you do, anyway? If you don't mind me asking, that is.
Sorry to hear about the dog, I spent part of the weekend dogsitting for friends who went to Burning Man. Fortunately, their dogs don't have any problems like that. Instead, if you leave them alone, they chew. They've killed 3 tv remotes, half a dozen video tapes, 1 camera, and I've lost count of how many cd's. I'd still rather pick up plastic shards than dog poo though.

I did melt. I was SO melty and the way the hotel is set up its all outdoors. I do events, which is all running around like a maniac anyway.
My dog is not a chewer - he doesn't do anything intentionally destructive at all. But nervous stomach got the better of him :(
Is the monster dog cage-trained? Our dog had separation anxiety when we first got her - she'd pull the cushions off the couches and then tear up what was beneath - and having that place of security really calmed her down. Now she goes there whenever she feels anxious.

He can escape his crate. Yeah, pretty insane, but he's determined.
Pretty dangerous too. Hrm. Other advice would be give him something to focus on, i.e. a Kong filled with peanut butter. More good advice here. Also, you might just want to try kenneling him or boarding him at an open-kennel dog boarding facility/doggy daycare. This way he can be active with and kept company by other dogs, and when he does make a mess on the premises it's not a big deal.
Poor doggy! UGH, this is NOT our weather. I didn't sign up for this. This is the first night I feel cold.

Wow, great picspam. Yeah, my folks were admonishing me for my gripes about the weather. I swear I had no idea these hurricanes down south were what was bringing in the humidity. I thought yeah, sure, they're stuck in the crazy Coachella Valley heat but at least it's dry and not this muggy shit. But no, they informed me that this humidity has hit them too. Wow. I'm glad I'm not there!
So sorry to hear about your puppy. That sucks. My cat likes to get a urinary infection while we're away and piss blood all over the home of who ever the ignorant fuck was we inflicted her upon. She particularly enjoys messing beds. *groan* I can empathize.

Thanks! I had no idea you were local, you should come to our SoCal meet up fests! They're funnish. Well, anyway, you can crash here.
Yeah my dog has decided that neurotic is the new black. Since then he trashes my house every time I leave - even for an hour. I'm starting to live very neatly - as in NOTHING out for him to shred, which is useful I suppose. But yikes, he is taking his neurosis to a new level! His latest target is my computer...

As always, you know where to send any surplus heatwaves!
I don't know... Could you be drunk and still do your job? Sounds like your parties would be more fun if you did? :P
(Ack, now I have a Coming 'round the mountain whistling earworm.)
