Bloody oath Andi!!!!!! We're gonna make the trip!!!!!! Anu and I are both freaking out!!!! We should have the trip pretty well planned out by the weekend. This is one of my dreams to see the BSO. I know they'll never get to Australia, so this may be our only chance. Man, I can't wait!!!

This is so awesome, I can't wait to see you two again!!

Seems to be the season for HDVDL meetups, I just recently learned that Wayne The Train Hancock will be playing in San-frickin'-tee of all places next month, with the one and only mjcodina on the geetar!!! Can't wait for that either!!!!

My good thing (since I can't attend BSO's upcoming gig... ) is flying to UK tomorrow to do a festival gig in Rye, Sussex with Otis Grand.

Plane tickets all booked for the BSO, Hotel in Palm Springs booked. The bad thing is waiting for November 6 to get the damn tickets. Wow Andi, you're going too!!! Can't wait to see you and give you a big Aussie hug (if that's allowed)

what hotel did you decide on? There are sooo many cool Tiki Hotels with rat pack history.
A cool little remod vintage hotel all done up like a Space Age Bachelor Pad is called
The Orbit.. The only thing you have to deal with in these establishments is a high percentage of gay clientelle. If you can deal with that, these hotels rule. Caliente
tropics is old skook Tiki
Old skool Hollywood would be the Del Marco or Vicery

We ended up booking at the Doral Desert Princess. They had really good rates and they're only 15 minutes away from the gig. Thanks for the links though, if you have any ideas for accommodation in downtown LA and maybe San Fran, that'd be brilliant.

Hey by the way, am I going to need to bring an interpreter to understand you??

What's the weather temps likely to be? So many questions!!!!

It depends..
for example TODAY...When they say its 70 degrees in Los Angeles,
that means its 75 degrees (49 at night) in Riverside where I live (about 40 mins drive from the strip) and 95 (61 at night) in Palm Springs.

Rancho Mirage is a few clicks up the road.

Today we started with two new Songs in the Bigband. "Rock this Town" and "Jump Jive an' Wail" I love it!

Won my second golf tournament of the year today with my Dad.

Actually, tied for first place for both events, but, it still counts.

Boom

Tell me about, it seems like forever when these tickets go on sale. Man, I have to be awake at 3:30am to buy the tickets

A lot of crap is going my way.

Was picked to be in the ticket lottery for the MN Twins postseason.

Picked up 4 tickets to the second game of the postseason this morning.

GO TWINS!


Maybe there is more later.... you will wanna hear this next one....

I got my Dad to play in a Bigband again. It's it's another Group of one of my conductors, and 'cause they don't have a guitarist at the moment they asked me if I'd also like to join them. So I'm playin' in a Band together with my old man now!
