In 1998, To Hell with & Back was performed as a solo show with piano accompianist Professor Keys @ The Tempest, a bike messenger bar in San Francisco.

This show is about how badly love can wrong.

How badly? Cara Vida says:

I have always believed that life is love ,
& I'm here to tell you that I've had it every which way you can think of.
Use your vivid imaginations. Been there, done that
Romantic, passionate, delusional love
unrequited love
sexually addicted love
sick & twisted, reckless, chemically-induced brain dead love.
Baby, baby, it's me & you agaist the world love.
& I've been in love with just being in love.
Oh yeah, I've been around the block so many times- I've got a street named after me.
Basta! No mas!
I've had enough.
I don't need flattery, beautiful lies, or the promise of sex.
Pumped up, pierced & tattoed flesh...
I could care less.
I've been to hell with love...
& back
in the end, respecting & loving myself is the best.
