Weekend Jaunt to the Beach

I spent my weekend in beautiful Pismo Beach, on Californias central coast.

What a lovely part of the world. Perfect weather, shame about the company.

Mandy and I spent the weekend with her family who fought like it was 1943.

So my car is dented and my camera is full of the finest Pismo sand. Still got mad love for those crazy in law G's

On the other hand, I did pick up an awesome organ. It's made by Roxy, and it sounds like an electric orgasm. Or an electric accordian, but way better. I would post pictures, and sound clips, but, sand! Remember?

A lady at work shouted at me today, then later appologised and told me she was on her period. I think she was hitting on me. It was her subconcious way of telling me; "I'm not that old, I could still go a few rounds, Buster." I think I said something dumb like; "oh yeah. My wife gets those."

Office banter is always uncomfortable. From fake smiles as you pass people who don't know your name, to when the high up guys ask you if you watched the tennis yesterday. In case you were interested, he tivo'd it, and asked if I was interested in seeing it. I said sure, but I just got Dharma and Greg on DVD, so it might be a couple of days.

That last part was a lie. However, office banter is made way more uncomfortable by me not having a clue what to say back to some of these people. Plus, nerding it up doesn't help. I think I heard someone utter; "I think he must have been home schooled."

By The Way...

Did anyone check out my bands songs?

Link is underneath.

Kids international, American Style

Mandy and I went to the San Mateo County fair on Friday night. It's basically like Kids International.
I remember One year at kids international, Arthur Bostrom appeared. You know, the policeman who spoke broken french in 'allo 'allo. Him and Timmy Mallet were pretty heavyweight celebs at the time. I lost count the number of times timmy mallet got told to Fuck off whilst he was walking around trying to play mallets mallet with people over the age of 13.

So the San Mateo county fair had....

Wait for it...

The Village People! I'm not sure whether they played that song they did with the German international football team, and I'm not even sure that any of them were ever in the original village people. But just to be within 100 yards of the biggest wedding throw down song ever, was a moment I'll never forget.

REO Speedwagon also played.
