"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!!!
