I transferred my blog over to <a href="http://wonderpiece.wordpress.com/">WordPress.com</a> 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!)<br /><br />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. <br /><br />Well, I'd like to make it official, that any bloggy-type posts will be made on my wordpress blog at: <a href="http://wonderpiece.wordpress.com/">http://wonderpiece.wordpress.com/</a> Who knows what the flip will happen in 2010. Really looking forward to something being diff' about this year.wonderpiecehttp://www.blogger.com/profile/04344323371591524234noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7521244656956021235.post-81049518420991634302010-01-19T22:21:00.001-08:002010-01-19T22:26:15.475-08:00Big Light Tourdates<a href=http://social.memberemail.com/Share.aspx?i=ab286662c4c309c0d5825f91b9c56f81659c3efd6ee23c9d>Big Light Tourdates</a><br /><br />Posted using <a href="http://sharethis.com">ShareThis</a>wonderpiecehttp://www.blogger.com/profile/04344323371591524234noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7521244656956021235.post-72850819435586603292009-11-22T10:31:00.000-08:002009-11-22T11:09:03.591-08:00"Just Like Crazy Otto..."<object width="425" height="344"><param name="movie" value="http://www.youtube.com/v/vqFHX-pzeh0&hl=en_US&fs=1&"></param><param name="allowFullScreen" value="true"></param><param name="allowscriptaccess" value="always"></param><embed src="http://www.youtube.com/v/vqFHX-pzeh0&hl=en_US&fs=1&" type="application/x-shockwave-flash" allowscriptaccess="always" allowfullscreen="true" width="425" height="344"></embed></object><br /><br />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. <br /><br />I had also brewed up some DELICIOUS <a href="http://www.flowerpowerteas.com/">loose "Redwood Chai"</a> along w some mango black tea (ultimately love the <a href="http://www.leafspa.com/prod/813376010340B.html">organic mango black tea</a> but I haven't been able to find it in the city...only at <a href="http://wayoflife.net/">Way of Life</a> down in Santa Cruz. I used some honey in it that a dear friend gave me from the Santa Cruz area, as well: <a href="http://www.pacificcrestapiaries.com/">Pacific Crest Apiaries Raw Wildflower Honey</a>. MAJOR YUM! <br /><br />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...<br /><br /><object width="425" height="344"><param name="movie" value="http://www.youtube.com/v/EdtEd0_d0ik&hl=en_US&fs=1&"></param><param name="allowFullScreen" value="true"></param><param name="allowscriptaccess" value="always"></param><embed src="http://www.youtube.com/v/EdtEd0_d0ik&hl=en_US&fs=1&" type="application/x-shockwave-flash" allowscriptaccess="always" allowfullscreen="true" width="425" height="344"></embed></object>wonderpiecehttp://www.blogger.com/profile/04344323371591524234noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7521244656956021235.post-51690336106128265882009-11-06T17:39:00.001-08:002009-11-06T17:48:07.045-08:00Emerald Triangle - NorCal run<a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhLz5uTDszTtGnyDVePG685281J6wrtnZIcDXteyWydRPxTQdXi3AcNDJtLkMAUumgIwe0YgLca1lrBwBvjBLzX7cfjgkbAO8YpwxewbOO-JUrdxdKj0cF9ts3sKC0EthdHNIkXpppIZpBo/s1600-h/emerald+small+1.jpg"><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 350px; height: 236px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhLz5uTDszTtGnyDVePG685281J6wrtnZIcDXteyWydRPxTQdXi3AcNDJtLkMAUumgIwe0YgLca1lrBwBvjBLzX7cfjgkbAO8YpwxewbOO-JUrdxdKj0cF9ts3sKC0EthdHNIkXpppIZpBo/s400/emerald+small+1.jpg" border="0" alt=""id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5401170470394034978" /></a><br />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 <a href="http://www.laurenshera.com/about.php">lauren shera</a> 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 <a href="http://blogs.sfweekly.com/shookdown/2009/11/last_night_new_folk_rock_super.php">this review from SF Weekly here</a>, since they say what i would if i could muster it out!wonderpiecehttp://www.blogger.com/profile/04344323371591524234noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7521244656956021235.post-54382316430815087002009-11-06T17:26:00.000-08:002009-11-06T17:49:23.625-08:00Reinvented, Redefined :: Phish 8<object width="425" height="344"><param name="movie" value="http://www.youtube.com/v/ABdYutbsyJY&hl=en&fs=1&"></param><param name="allowFullScreen" value="true"></param><param name="allowscriptaccess" value="always"></param><embed src="http://www.youtube.com/v/ABdYutbsyJY&hl=en&fs=1&" type="application/x-shockwave-flash" allowscriptaccess="always" allowfullscreen="true" width="425" height="344"></embed></object><br />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!!!

<br /><br />i can't possibly describe the way i've been feeling lately about phish. i guess i've never quite been able to articulate it...me and every other phishhead that feels phish as a life-path. i'm newly inspired to love phish again. its time. so i punched in a favorite combo into the youtube search tonight: phish 1994. this is what i found...SO FUCKING GREAT!!!!!!!!!!!!wonderpiecehttp://www.blogger.com/profile/04344323371591524234noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7521244656956021235.post-59799612726334318062009-05-31T22:08:00.001-07:002009-05-31T22:08:47.737-07:00spirit of a music festie<object width="425" height="344"><param name="movie" value="http://www.youtube.com/v/GA8z7f7a2Pk&hl=en&fs=1"></param><param name="allowFullScreen" value="true"></param><param name="allowscriptaccess" value="always"></param><embed src="http://www.youtube.com/v/GA8z7f7a2Pk&hl=en&fs=1" type="application/x-shockwave-flash" allowscriptaccess="always" allowfullscreen="true" width="425" height="344"></embed></object>wonderpiecehttp://www.blogger.com/profile/04344323371591524234noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7521244656956021235.post-47330266187010897612009-05-29T10:22:00.000-07:002009-05-29T10:56:13.928-07:00recentlast night i went to this astrology lecture in SF. it was titled, "astrology and the art of healing". it was offered through the <a href="http://www.sfastrologicalsociety.com/">SF Astrology Society</a>, a group that meets once a month at fort mason.<br /><br />the content of the lecture was pretty interesting. it discussed astrology from the perspective of conception and gestation, and how all the planets were influencing your chart AND of course, your mother, thus making the period of gestation and the MOMENT of conception actually quite relevant, astrologically. <br /><br />the dude's name was Tad Mann. he's written 20 books so far. you can check him out <a href="http://www.atmann.net/atm1.htm">here.</a><br /><br />wednesday night, i attended a "social media mixer" hosted by my web designer's company, <a href="http://www.hyperarts.com/">hyperarts.</a> seriously, if you need a PRO website, contact them. my website is pretty barren since i closed my biz, but you can still find it <a href="http://www.coexp.com/">here</a>, just for kicks. <br /><br />back to the social media part, we were a group of professionals that decided we wanted to hear more about other professional's thoughts on the subject. there was a surgeon from UCSF that shared how having youtube video's on a website separate from the general UCSF website led to better relationships with patients. trippy! what else...hyperarts launched a <a href="http://socialmedia.hyperarts.com/resources/">brand new website</a>, specific to the social media conversation. pretty cool!<br /><br />lastly, i saw ben harper at the fillmore the other night. he was with his new group "relentless 7". i've never been one of the ben harper-heads, but i went to hang out with an old friend. the music was good. i watched myself trailing off during parts where other people were "finding god" and it reminded me how lucky we all are to like what we like. he did a cool cover of Queen's "under pressure", which of course at first sounded like "ice ice baby" at the beginning...admittedly, this was the song that struck me more than any of the night. it wasn't a new song, but i'd never heard it. struck me. <br /><br /><object width="425" height="344"><param name="movie" value="http://www.youtube.com/v/YPY32WPMoRw&hl=en&fs=1"></param><param name="allowFullScreen" value="true"></param><param name="allowscriptaccess" value="always"></param><embed src="http://www.youtube.com/v/YPY32WPMoRw&hl=en&fs=1" type="application/x-shockwave-flash" allowscriptaccess="always" allowfullscreen="true" width="425" height="344"></embed></object>wonderpiecehttp://www.blogger.com/profile/04344323371591524234noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7521244656956021235.post-59577776222218017802009-05-05T11:24:00.000-07:002009-05-06T08:19:41.033-07:00everything about me you like...its already gone<object type="application/x-shockwave-flash" data="http://www.lala.com/external/flash/SingleSongWidget.swf" id="lalaSongEmbed" width="220" height="70"><param name="movie" value="http://www.lala.com/external/flash/SingleSongWidget.swf"/><param name="wmode" value="transparent"/><param name="allowNetworking" value="all"/><param name="allowScriptAccess" value="always"/><param name="flashvars" value="songLalaId=432627056443734646&host=www.lala.com&partnerId=membersong"/><embed id="lalaSongEmbed" name="lalaSongEmbed" src="http://www.lala.com/external/flash/SingleSongWidget.swf" width="220" height="70" type="application/x-shockwave-flash" pluginspage="http://www.macromedia.com/go/getflashplayer" wmode="transparent" allowNetworking="all" allowScriptAccess="always" flashvars="songLalaId=432627056443734646&host=www.lala.com&partnerId=membersong"></embed></object><div style="font-size: 9px; margin-top: 2px;"><a href="http://www.lala.com/song/432627056443734646" title="When Will You Come Back Home - Ryan Adams" target="_blank">When Will You Come Back Home -...</a></div><br /><br />dusted off this old 2005 chestnut. f*ck, that was four years ago!
