Freshly vacuumed and analyzed

This database has been humming along fine for a while now, but I've got one of those sticky queries that is taking
much too long to finish.

After some digging, I've found that the planner is choosing to apply a necessary seq scan to the table.  Unfortunately,
it's scanning the whole table, when it seems that it could have joined it to a smaller table first and reduce the
amount of rows it would have to scan dramatically ( 70 million to about 5,000 ).

The table "eventactivity" has about 70million rows in it, index on "incidentid"
The table "keyword_incidents" is a temporary table and has incidentid as its primary key.  It contains
5125 rows. eventmain and eventgeo both have 2.1 million. My hope is that I can convince the planner to do the
  join to keyword_incidents *first* and then do the seq scan for the LIKE condition.  Instead, it seems that it's
seqscanningthe  
whole 70 million rows first and then doing the join, which takes a lot longer than I'd like to wait for it.  Or, maybe
I'm
misreading the explain output?

Thanks again

  where

   eventmain.incidentid = keyword_incidents.incidentid and

   eventgeo.incidentid = keyword_incidents.incidentid and

   eventactivity.incidentid = keyword_incidents.incidentid

   and (  recordtext like '%JOSE CHAVEZ%'   )
order by eventmain.entrydate limit 10000;
