So far, only two co-workers are known to be missing. One of them is getting a new apartment key cut to replace the one that went missing. Problem is, the apartment key was part of a set. Not sure how that car is going to get started. The other AWOL co-worker, I’m told, is “sick.” All of which is to say that we had a great time last night at the Granada Theater. Hope you did, too. (Judging from your tweets, looks like you did.) We’ll get some pics up before too long that were taken with an actual camera camera. Meantime, here are some snaps, mostly taken backstage, from my iPhone camera. Enjoy.

While Zac and I were waiting around backstage to introduce Telegraph Canyon, Gordon Keith showed up and highjacked the proceedings. "Here, gimme your coat," he said. "I'll go and introduce myself as you. It'll be hysterical." I protested, told him no one would think that was funny. But he wouldn't be talked out of it.

After Gordon's appearance onstage, he repaired to the Granada's outdoor smoking lounge by the backstage door, where he drank an entire bottle of Kru 82 and launched into a rant about what a burden it is to be famous.

It's a tradition, apparently, at the Granada for bands to put stickers on the backstage roll-up door through which they load their gear. Zac and I are kinda like a band, right? Like Simon and Garfunkel?

Here on FrontBurner, we sometimes like to pull back the curtain. This was the view of Telegraph Canyon from backstage.

When did Gordon become so famous it’s a burden? I musta missed that tweet… not knocking the guy but really, it’s just radio.
jerk. both of those photos were your idear. so was sending me out there in your jacket. you’re lucky i’m your friend, lazy, and not litigious.
by the way, i’ll keep your confidence on the gina miller stuff.
Photo AND joke, STOLEN!
@ley214: That was a joke. Your clue was that if Gordon had drunk an entire bottle of vodka, he’d be dead.
@Eric Celeste: Time stamp on my pic is 8:20. Yours?
@Gordon Keith: It looks like the shift key is broken on your keyboard. Do you need another? (And thanks on that Gina Miller stuff. Similarly, don’t worry about Jane McGarry.)
Can’t wait to see the rest of the pics! Thanks so much – my wife and I had a frickin amazing time!!!
