Hellooo 2010!!!

What the heck is happening up in here, blogspot.com? I transferred my blog over to WordPress.com in December. I have total appreciation for blogger, I really do, but I have to admit that WordPress feels more "adult", and I don't say that just because they asked me what my "Gravatar" rating is (G, PG, R, X!)

I'm including a pic of my fun new friend Otis, whom I miss so so much! I had the privilege of hanging w Otis while his ?Dad? went away for the holidays. Got some serious, solid bro' time with Otis. I learned, on one of the first days walking him, that the Grateful Dead had a puppy/dog in their family named Otis. Apparently Bob Weir had a pooch named Otis and you can do a lil internetting to find out more about it.

Well, I'd like to make it official, that any bloggy-type posts will be made on my wordpress blog at: http://wonderpiece.wordpress.com/ Who knows what the flip will happen in 2010. Really looking forward to something being diff' about this year.

"Just Like Crazy Otto..."

I figured this is as good of a place as any, to chat up my computer screen. It's a nice, newer friends birthday today. She's a deadhead so instead of just posting "happy birthday" to her on her FB wall, I dug up a Ramble On Rose.

I had also brewed up some DELICIOUS loose "Redwood Chai" along w some mango black tea (ultimately love the organic mango black tea but I haven't been able to find it in the city...only at Way of Life down in Santa Cruz. I used some honey in it that a dear friend gave me from the Santa Cruz area, as well: Pacific Crest Apiaries Raw Wildflower Honey. MAJOR YUM!

Got my haircut yesterday. A newer friend who I feel I've known for years has been doing my hair for the last year. It's always a ridiculous scene going to see him, because I'm trying to grow my hair back out, except he loves cutting short haircuts, and frankly, I love getting my hair cut short! So, it's really kinda stupid. Anyways, it had been forevz since he cut my hair, so it was def getting long...well, he was telling me how this haircut he was giving me was sorta like a "Joan Jett" cut...and I was like...alright. That's fine. He went on to tell me that he cut a Joan Jett wig for someone at Halloween, and also a David Bowie wig, too. By the time our cut was done, he said, about my hair, "Well, it's kinda in between the Joan Jett AND the Dave Bowie cuts!" WHAT?!!! Whatever, it's actually really cute. And the whole reason behind telling you this hair story is cuz with all the 80's energy swirling from getting my haircut, I'm now going to see KISS tonight!!! Again...WHAT?!!! Cracks me up...

Emerald Triangle - NorCal run

so i got word that neal casal was playing bass w some of his friends at the independent in SF...on monday, november 02. the only issue with this was that i was JUST going to be returning from my epic dash to the desert where phish pummeled me with EIGHT sets of music, including the set of a lifetime playing the rolling stones exile on main street. needless to say, i wasn't quite sure i would exactly be in the kind of shape to return and hit another show. but it was neal's birthday, so rallied and WOW! i was happy i did! the music of those 6 dudes was INCREDIBLE! just my style, of relaxed psychedelic alt-rock/country/jam type of songs. i loved it. plus, new young singer songwriter lauren shera opened the show, so that was nice, too. even though i could barely stand at the end of the night, the music DEF made my re-entry from phish's halloween festival bearable. read this review from SF Weekly here, since they say what i would if i could muster it out!

Reinvented, Redefined :: Phish 8

there were SO many choice moments during 8, mainly (pun intended) the HUGE highlight of phish + sharon jones & dapkings impeccably performing the rolling stones album 'exile on main street' in its entirety. jeez, i have so many favorite songs on that album, it was just too hard for me to pick my fave that they played that night (the list is something like: sweet black angel, sweet virginia, torn and freyed, LET IT LOOSE, shine a light, loving cup...see what i mean?!!!) so instead of picking one of those epic songs to youtube here, i'm throwing out the dark horse curveball fave "UNDERMIND". holy shit!!! i danced so hard w some newer friends...check this shit out!!!

Inara George - new release!

Inara George
"Accidental" (mp3)
from "Accidental Experimental"

More On This Album


I discovered Inara George at the suggestion of a major music industry person in 2006, so I fell in love with All Rise. Inara George is the daughter of Lowell George, who may be familiar to you because of his classic (in every sense of the word) band, Little Feat. Inara George's new release is due out on Tuesday. I like her tunes. Inara George Oh yeah. She is also in that totally indie pop group, The Bird and the Bee, whom I also really like.
