Rod's Hickory Pit

On October 17, 1987, when Billie Joe and Mike were 15 – Sweet Children played their first ever show at a Vallejo diner, Rod’s Hickory Pit. Billie Joe’s mom Ollie was a waitress there and arranged the show. Its 30 attendees were impressed enough to invite them back. Sadly, the diner has been demolished and replaced with a Starbucks, which has also closed.
