Can you help me???

I said SPACESUIT, not PLAYSUIT, but in a word, NO!! No one can help you Pete, you're too far gone Anyone that sees that video will not walk among this earth, besides I was only around 11 years old, but yeah those clothes, what was I thinking!!!

Rene',
glad to hear your dad is up & about well on the road to causing trouble again!

one good thing here?
the bright, shiny orb in the big blue thingy overhead was visible for a while today. until the grey mass of clouds, fog & drizzle moved back in. i read about this shiny orb in the sky, and I tell my children stories of it. but we just don't see it much around these parts anymore.

Bad-ASS! I love Kids In The Hall.

Rene, awesome news about your old man. Rock on!

One good thing for me - I just moved into my new place, taught the dog a new trick (how to sit and stay outside the door, and she'll stay there indefinitely while I walk to the other end of the house... C'MON! then she bolts - cool stuff!), AND I mopped the floor (same dog) and now I'm enjoying an ice-cold, frosty beer.

Ain't life grand?

CHEERS!

Two feet of snow...yeah I could do without the shoveling but sledding with the kids is the best.

My great mate Pistol Pete and his family are coming down to Melbourne on March 19, having them over at my place, can't wait, come hungry and thirsty...lol

YES!!!! Trying to get tickets for Adelaide!!

But in the mean time gonna see Boz Scaggs and Michael McDonald from the Doobie Brothers and Seely Dan tomorrow nite!

The sun peeking through.

Got the last minute okay to shoot and review An Evening of Blues last night with Candye Kane, Sue Palmer's Motel Swing Orchestra, Tom Cat Courtney and a bunch of other amazing SD blues bands...

Got an email from Imelda's people today ASKING me to review/photograph a show by another one of their clients that's playing San Diego tonight! Ha!

Goin' to see (and possibly shoot!) Slim Jim, Danny B and Lemmy - THE HEAD CAT - at the infamous Belly Up Tavern on Thursday with my girl Torrey! Women on the prowl, lookout! Hahaha!

Well done me indeed!

One good thing... Just getting some dope A concert pics taken by my friend

"Tear the roof off the motha sucka"

MJ, those are great shots!! Thank you for sharing them!!

My "career" as a writer and photographer seems to be gaining a little traction. My concert reviews and photos for Examiner.com, which only net me a few cents, are starting to pay off in other ways. I've started sending them in to the San Diego Reader, our free weekly newspaper since 1972 (in significantly shortened form to comply with the Reader's requirements) and they're starting to run them - including my Head Cat review! And the Reader actually pays decent money for reviews...

My Reader reviews are here. I love the fact that the URL includes the word "staff." I just noticed that!!

While there is no guarantee they'll ever use what I send, I'm still pretty floored. I'm making some money going to concerts of my choosing, taking pictures and writing about the shows. Stuff I do anyways just for fun. OMG.

In the next week I'm booked for a photo shoot in LA that could be a very exciting big deal for me, I have a job interview back in RADIO (!!!!), and I'm roadtripping to San Francisco to see/shoot/meet/review the one and only Big Jay McNeely, playing with one of my new favorite bands, the Hollywood Combo (don't know Big Jay? check him out). Pretty much all of this is still tentative at the moment, but dang... GOOD THINGS.

Scored Rock Therapy and Rant and Rave on vinyl at a local record swap today!
Also p/u Rockats Live at the Ritz. All are in good shape.

Tundra Resort and Water Park with the fam this afternoon - great way to spend a cloudy winter afternoon!

It's time for the weekend!

Standing up to the principal and kid who was bullying my kid, and winning. The principal is now retiring...

I know nothing!


hrg

p.s. Don't poke the mama bear!

I woke up at NOON today! And, I don't have to do anything today, so I will do nothing.

Small victory for me!

CHEERS

Good for you, HRGirl!

(You, too, Cristo! )

School starts at 11.30 for me today =)

Baseball....lovely glorious baseball. Phillies first spring training game is on today against the Yankees. It finally feels like winter is coming down the home stretch.
