it's your life too, I'm just taking credit for it.
posting is a frame of mind.
it comes in fits and spurts for me.
right now I'm in an expressive frame of mind waiting for reality to smack me in the face.

more kladruby gold
Begin forwarded message:
From: Ryan Cline
Hi Boys and Girl,
This month has been very fruitful for the Kladruby Gold, lots of tunes coming through the duder's mind. In an effort to let them live, I keep sending them to you fine folks. Hope all is well in Ireland, SF, highway 1, Costa Mesa....
The multi-talented Lewis appears (Courtesy of 42nd Avenue Records) on acoustic guitar 'no surprises'.
Love,
Cline

five old men
Its almost surf trip status at the house down here. Living with your friends is always an illuminating experience. I'm on the floor, lewis is on the couch, and Shayne is sleeping on the porch on the blow-up bed.
Avery is the elder elder, exhibiting overly mature behavior in the face of Shayne and lewis' childish/crotchety berating of each other. I'm cooking and gardening, my standard retreat from life's complexities.
It wouldn't be complete if lewis and Shayne weren't arguing about surfing no-existent waves. "if we want to go surf we should have already gone by now."
been cooking in, its coffee and french toast this morning. I have been in town for three days and all I've seen is Thalia street and trestles. And I'm happy about it.

its good to be back
its good to be back, and cline was in town, and Dave and Adele were still naive babes in the woods, so lewis and ange had us over for dinner. god i look tired. I need some more sleep.
all it takes is a little drink (or not in adele's case) for everyone to break out their heavy artillery. let the belly wars begin.

last zazie
not the the last zazie, but the last for a long time.
after retrieving my car and running home for a shower i met up with the boys for the regular at zazie's. hung out on the patio and enjoyed the sunshine. talked about all the usual things and then some.
Olive was happy enough to be drooling on the sidewalk.

zazie with the boys, a stroll down haight street, a nap and blowing sand
Sunday, Sunday, Sunday.
broke from home early to meet Avery and Cline for breakfast at Zazie.
"une, deux, trois".
lots of boy talk.
walked off our breakfast with a stroll down haight, a lovely car fire got us all the way to masonic, it was out by the time we got there.
license plate reads "no muff to tuff", an ad for a muffler shop.
retired to avery's for a nap on the couch, the wind was blowing hard, making a mess of the ocean, and blowing sand across great highway.
Its the end of our surf season as we know it. And I feel fine. I leave for Chile in a three weeks. Avery is going to Alaska, and Cline and Lewis are working on their Music careers.

... and then Ryoko
What finally drove us from the warmth of the Elks bar was the need for food. None of us had eaten since noon, music and friends can only carry you so far.
Avery steered us over to Ryoko which was miraculously still serving at well past 1. The sake and sushi hit the spot.
I shot some of the dishes, but got too excited by the food and forgot about taking pictures. The okra tempura was especially nice.
And then it was home to bed.
here's a parting shot of Avery working the murse.

.... and friends part two
Sorry, I shot a lot of pictures, so I'm breaking this night up into a couple posts.
The Elks were gracious hosts and we thoroughly enjoyed their environs. The thought did cross more than one of our minds "When I grow up I want to be an Elk". They even accept women these days.
By the end of the night we were all adorned with pins from the Exalted Ruler.
Ever since Lewis remade himself as a media persona, hanging out with him has become more entertaining. In Spain the pros were either out to buy him a beer or beat him senseless. Luckily he's painted himself as a lover not a fighter, so he's been able to sidestep most altercations. Witness here Lewis applying the tried and true, "I'll just keep talking until they get bored" defense when approached about his stance on european surfers.
we finally tore ourselves from the bar to go in search of food, only it took a good hour to tear ourselves from the bar.
