Various Updates and Travel Schedule
I’m behind in my reporting…I know this.
Last weekend is a blur, which ended in a fantastic show at the Red Devil Lounge - Dick Dale, "King of the Surf Guitar." I ran into aerinys there with a friend of hers, and the show was extremely high energy and totally phenomenal for any guitar-head looking to see a legend do what they do best.
…and then…my wallet was stolen. So I had to leave early, before the end of the show. I wound up getting a call on Monday from Yellow Cab saying it was found in the back of one of their cabs (my business card was in it, and that’s how they connected the dots). I don’t keep valuable stuff in my wallet, unlike most folks - it’s a catch all for membership cards, coupons, and maxed out credit cards that wouldn’t do anyone any good anyway…so whoever took it could have made off with a Surfrider Foundation card that might get them a discount at certain surf venues, but not much else.
Ok…on to the travel calendar. This is what’s confirmed:
9/28-30 - Santa Cruz (paddling out for the evening glass off on the 29th, dawn patrol on the 30th). Those of you joining me know where…booya!
10/5-7 - Santa Cruz (tentative)
10/12-14 - Seattle, WA
10/28 - My birthday…and possibly LA/San Diego road trip. Dunno yet. But I’ll let the SoCal folks know ahead of time, of course.*
11/8-11 - Denver & Cripple Creek for Lady Katherine’s weddin’. Yeeeeee haw!
Turkey Day - yet unticketed, but I’m going to still try and see the Fam in TX if I can get the ticket on the cheap.
X-Mas in Texas.
*If I don’t make it down south at the end of October, I’m going to try for it in November - I’ve got a long list of people to see, and want to get in some SoCal surf with some of them. Fortunately, Virgin Atlantic has some way-cheap fares, but if I’m surfing, I’ll drive the boards down.
As you may have guessed, I’m behind on reading up on my LJ friends pages, etc…and if I’m late responding to your emails, don’t kill me. I promise to get to them soon(ish). There is such a thing as a telephone, vintage communication device that it may be - and you can always use it to get me caught up…or just send me funny pictures from your cellphone. (I said funny themissblue, not fanny).
