right on bro!

So, last weekend I went up to Santa Barbara for a wedding. I’d never been to Santa Barbara proper before. I played a show at UCSB once, but all we did was drive there, set up our shit, play the gig, hang out for a bit, and then we drove back. So I was looking forward to seeing this.

It sure is nice up there. Less smoggy, less crowded, less hot, by the ocean. I need to get super rich so I can buy a house up there and do nothing but chill out. It doesn’t look like anyone works up there. All they do is hang out and protest the Iraq war. I passed by a group of ten or so Green Party protesters standing out on State Street. Two of them were playing conga drums and they all had protest signs. I asked one chick if I could take a picture of her sign that said “Make Levees, Not War.” She said sure, but the sign wasn’t her idea.

The wedding was fun. There were a bunch friends from my old job there, and it was good to catch up with them, and funny to see everyone all dressed up. I ended up barely making the drive back to my hotel before I passed out. Good times.

I’m happy to report that the Prius broke 50 miles per gallon on this trip. This was the longest trip I’ve taken with the car (yes, I haven’t been out of Los Angeles in like three months, I suck) so far and it went well. Sheila knew where everything was and it made getting around a snap.

On Sunday I was thinking about going to see the Reagan National Library but then I drove back early because Montez had this footballl thing that he won from 97.1 FM here in Los Angeles. He won a 48″ HDTV, food from Fatburger, and a visit from two of Tom Leykis’ Leykettes (the chick on the right of this photo showed up). It was…interesting. I learned fron one of the chicks that coffee is a good “negative” because it takes more calories processing it than it contains. Like celery.

Thanks Montez. Your new TV is rad.
