I'm On A Boat Bitch


Ahhh yeahhhh! we had some top notch catches and good times on the Bays own Happy Days fishing charter. Our new friends treated us just right on a full days fishing trip. It was Aubs 33rd birthday and we had a crew of six. We caught some strippers, halibut, sting rays a shark and a buzz. ha-ha!

Transformer II Reveng of the Fallen


This movie ROCKS! I have been committed to seeing this movie forever and finally went to the Metreon by myself to catch it. No IMAX this time, but I think I'm gonna go back again. The sequel definitely topped this first one and I hope theres more to follow. I just might have to go online to shop some Transformer gear. If you haven't seen this already I recommend you go now!

A Little Coit Tower


Almost to the top of my favorite walk to the top of Coit Tower and back. We all need a little exercise everyone in a while. The hike has a round trip of about 15 minutes and does a great job of working the calves and lower back because of the consistent incline. The views are spectacular and there are numerous entry/exit points of the tower.

Fillmore Jazz Festival


This annual event stirs up some sweet jazzy muse with a two day festival. Definitely has a good vibe and the restaurants sell to go beers and cocktails which is always a bonus compared to the restrictions of a "beer garden". We had some good chow eating mini cup cakes, catfish and an Indian nan wrap with Tikki Masala. There was great music and bands everywhere!

Groundation @ Slims


Groundation is truly a gifted reggae band that will straight lift your soul through music and rhythm. I have always been a big fan of the lead singer Todd Stafford, even when he gave me my first guitar lesson in 1991. That's right, same high school. Todd has since dedicated himself to reggae music and his powerful and massive stage presence will truly educate you with some hardcore rasta music. You can catch them locally in the Bay or catch up to them in all parts of the world.

The Grateful Dead


The Grateful Dead have rocked the Bay Area once again playing at Shoreline Amphitheater May 10, 2009. As Dave, Rita, Colin and myself cruised the never ending grass lands of the Shoreline parking lots we drank Corona's and people watched. The streets were filled with dirty hippies and the smell of sweet greens. The Dead played amazing sets and the most ripper song was performed with special guest Warren Hayes called "gimme sheltor" originally performed by The Rolling Stones. It was sick!

Sexy Sea Slugs


A brightly colored sea slug known as Chromodoris bullocki is photographed in Indonesia's Lembeh Strait. It uses gills on its back to breathe. These things are cool. Yet another hard to keep fish, but also one too cool to pass up. Sometimes the slug will climb high up on the walls and then detacthes itself to a free fall across the tanks current.

Green Psychedelic Mandarin Goby


The Green Psychedelic Mandarin Goby is a small bottom dwelling fish that will scower the live rock and also bury itself in the sands. The vivid psychedelic colors make this fish a favorite by all. Its surroundings need lots of floor space and tons of hiding spots in the rocks to graze for meaty foods and other living
