LA Weekly DeTour 2006

So, we know this is old news, but on October 7, 2006, we went to the First Annual LA Weekly DeTour. They actually blocked off a whole section of downtown, right down the street from us, and set up several stages. The tour was headlined by Beck and Queens of the Stone Age. But it featured a ton of other bands, too, such as !!!, Blonde Redhead, Basement Jaxx, the Elected and Of Montreal.
Here are some pics.


If you look closely, you can see Jason Lee (in full "My Name is Earl" style) and Giovanni Ribisi backstage at Beck:


Here are Queens of the Stone Age (they played right outside the LA Times building):


And, last but not least, here is our favorite picture of all. Shawna recognized Michael Cera, better known as George Michael Bluth, during the set by the Elected. We waited until the set was over to ask for a picture, whereupon Cera responded in pure George Michael style, "Uh, sure, I mean, why not?"
