Crikey! Weekend in review...

Ended up having a pretty good weekend. Went to Lake Nacimiento and ended up spending 80% of our time in the water. The weather was at or above 100 degrees during the day time and freezing at night. No needs to go back to that lake, especially since it was as trashy if not trashier than Clear Lake.

There is something to be said about the "Lake" culture. I realize that most Americans probably live closer to lakes than the ocean, so they gotta take what they can get, but wake boarders (wake spongers!) and lake folks are just sketchy. The second night, a group of younger, tatted up, white boys that were a mix between gangsta and punk camped right next (basically on top) of us. Our campfire was a couple feet away and we can hear everything they were talking about. It was the first time in a long time that I wanted to kick some ass and beat the living shit out of them, but the fact that there was a bunch of woman and some people that didn't know me that well stopped me. These guys had the nerve to make racist comments about Asians right next to me. Looking back, I am glad I didn't let myself get too caught up in their ignorance, but they still deserved to get their asses kicked.

September is already looking to be a fun packed month. May have a friend visit from LA, have a WineGuzzler event on the 21st and Moe. the 22nd. Michael Franti and Spearhead have their annual Power to the Peaceful concert in GGP this weekend, and I want to get to Monterey and Humboldt before the month is over. Also have a quick trip to Las Vegas, via San Diego in a couple of weeks. Then October is filled with some exciting things as well. I am still on the fence about Vegoose, but the Lake Sonoma Flotilla will be incredible. Oh yeah, also just scored some Black Crowes tickets at the Santa Cruz Civic sometime in the next couple of weeks for an unannounced show.

Summer is NOT over!

Lastly, really sucks about the Steve Irwin, the Crocodile Hunter. Who would have "thunk" that he would die from a stingray of all creatures? Guess it its true what they say...When you play with fire, be ready to get burned. Regardless, its a shame and sad.
