so i went to see the davidans a couple of times recently. on friday night, they played a show at the knitting factory in hollywood. unfortunately for dwayne (the singer), his guitar was stolen during equipment load-in. boo! someone loaned him one to use and the show went on, but there was definitely a dark cloud. after the show, a random stranger approached dwayne and was telling him how much he loved the band and their set. he was a little under the influence, so he asked if dwayne would mind driving his car to a party nearby. dwayne's always up for an adventure and said sure. they spent the evening partying, talking, etc until the wee hours. the next day, the random stranger guy emails and says something to the effect of "really loved the show, feel bad about your guitar, i want to help. go to my friend's guitar shop in santa monica and pick out whatever you want." so he did. by wednesday, he had a brand new version of his old guitar. same color even. yay for random strangers!!! they played another show on wednesday night, at the derby in los feliz. it was an early show with an open bar, playing with the wallpaper airplanes. it was a good time and d played his shiny new guitar. there is goodness out there. remember that. here's a photo i took at the knitting factory show:
