Let's Get Crazy - Wooster

And then one hot morning in June, the Woo arose from their respective dens. They loaded their gear into a 400 dollar gold van and softly slid their new single into the freshly oiled tapedeck. With only the soundsystem to guide them and a long list of stops all over California and Washington, they set out to rock the Western coast.

I wish I has a picture for you all, I really do, becuase the image it left in my mind hasn't gone away.

 A friend and I parked up on the hill somewhere like Miramar or sommat, where we drank our tea and ate our Ferrell's chocolate old fashoineds. It was close to midnight, the city was quiet though her lights still burned underneath a star spangled sky and
