Earlier this month, the Hotel Cafe Tour (MySpace) -- mentioned previously here, here, and here -- whose all-female singer-songwriter lineup was comprised of locals Laura Jansen (MySpace), Holly Conlan (MySpace), and Meiko (MySpace), as well as Jaymay (MySpace), Erin McCarley (MySpace), and Rachael Yamagata (MySpace), stopped by the Hotel Cafe in Hollywood.
Meiko, the tour's anchor, blogged about the previous night at Soho (MySpace) in Santa Barbara (Yamagata joined the tour at the Hotel Cafe):
So - Tonight was the first date of The Hotel Cafe (Girly) Tour... It was awesome. I was a little worried that we weren't gonna mesh - or that we might all sound alike... But that was just me being a worry wort, wert, woorrt. Shit! How do u spell that?
Anyway- It went really smooth... It was me, Jaymay, Holly Conlan, Laura Jansen, and Erin McCarley... We all got along so well - it was a big love fest... Everyone was sooooo awesome and very unique. YAY!
Special thanks to Laura Jansen, Holly Conlan, Jaymay, Erin McCarley, Meiko, Rachael Yamagata, the Hotel Cafe, and the Hotel Cafe Tour.
