Heidi and I are patiently waiting for David Byrne here at the Dolby Theater. We’ve really been looking forward to this show. Really really!

It’s Heidi’s Birthday today!
In a rather challenging year it’s nice to have a someone by your side, ready to face everything that life throws your way.
Always ready to hit the town, and boogie on down!!

Tent camping at the beach in the middle of November.

Quick little trip to celebrate Heidi’s birthday at our favorite spot on Earth!

Three Werewolves and a Scary Monster.
The death of Bill Graham just a few days before the Oakland Halloween run cast a very real pall over the festivities. Ken Kesey’s Dark Star “rap” is one the heaviest things I’ve ever experienced at a concert. Chilling.
Happy Halloween.

Hope springs eternal in the Fall.
It’s a bright, crisp and very warm morning here.
October always has several of these Indian Summer sort of days. Hot. Hotter than the Dodgers’ bats to be sure!!

We’re waiting patiently for J.R.A.D. on a Spooooky Saturday night at the Greek.
Deep in the mysterious and foreboding forest of Los Feliz!

This morning. Not necessarily from our backyard because it’s all yard these days. This charmer is about four feet high and rising. A little splash of optimism helping me keep my hopes off of the ropes…

35 years ago! Easily my least favorite Grateful Dead show. Off kilter and listless. The band admitted later that it wasn’t a great performance. A thin carpet covered the ice. It was a long way to travel just to get cold feet…

Last night at the Hollywood Bowl. LCD Soundsystem + Pulp worked the crowd into a frenzy. Good energy, zero chompers. Everyone was up and dancing, too busy to talk…

At Zuma Beach a few days back. The water was warm(ish) and clear. Very few people, just the way we like it. Fall is gonna Fall this Monday so we’re once again desperately holding on to Summer. Salt water and sunshine for the win!!

Last weekend we not only escaped from the Fortress of Mediocrity, we also found the edge of the Continent. We swam in the Ocean like absolute beginners. And, for a quick moment, everything was okay.

Much like Turkey Vultures, we soared into Hollywood to catch My Morning Jacket at the Palladium last night. We just absolutely adore this band. They performed “Z” in its entirety. Great sound, great crowd. Just a lovely Tuesday evening all around. Good times!!

Waiting patiently last night for the Tedeschi Trucks Band at the Greek. It was a warm Summer evening and T.T.B. rolled out another stellar show. They’ve quickly become one of our favorite live acts. Twelve people on stage. Locked in and crushing it. Good times indeed!!

33 years ago somehow seems both a longer and shorter span of time…
Anyway, it’s been a while.
Up on the lawn at Irvine for $19.75 all in? Yes, please!!

There are people who can predict a set list by a certain band. I can barely tie my shoes.

Always thought that the ‘66 Coupe de Ville that is shown briefly in Reservoir Dogs but almost steals the show in Once Upon A Time was Quentin Tarantino’s car. It was Michael Madsen’s… I had the exact same Cadillac. Same color. Same everything. Impractical? Sure. But it was drop dead gorgeous…

Delivered a trillion dollar orchid planter to a well loved customer on Fairfield Circle here in town. She demanded photographs. Her phone, my phone.Cropped most of my stupid face out. Because orchids are almost always prettier than Chris. Almost.

We’ve all read the books. This fantastic new book by Brian Anderson is a welcome addition to the library of every one of us who loves the Grateful Dead.
It’s a great read. Well done, Sir!

What an absolute American Treasure. We were lucky enough to catch a show at the Roxy in 2000, this show as well as another show at the Hollywood Bowl in July of ‘16. Backed by The Wondermints. “Gorgeous” doesn’t quite capture how great these shows sounded.
Rest In Peace. Surf’s Up.

For several years Heidi and I were lucky enough to have Dr. Teeth play a solo show at our Pepper Patch Lounge.
After the recent unpleasantness we thought we would never see him again. Guess we were wrong! Just like heaven, he’s up in #307.
Can You Picture That?

My dear Father who is a few months away from his 85th birthday gave Heidi and I this album a few weeks ago.
Do we have a turntable up in #307? We do not.
Whatever happened to this band, we shall never know.

Well, we had ourselves a weekend. Outlaw Festival on Friday at the Bowl. Cruel World on Saturday at Brookside. On our feet for close to 14 hours over two nights, careening steadily towards my 59th Birthday, which is today.
Live music keeps us young. Youngish? Anyway, say Hello if you can. Love…
