Camp Howdy

I'm never leaving Friday afternoon. Just a tip, you can park your car and your bags at the Beresford while you wander the city until checkin.
 

Ahhhhhhh....what a fine weekend in Da Cruz. Great beach party ya'll, thanks fer coming, we need to do that more often. I need a week of work to rest for another weekend of fun. Alas, time to party city-style I reckon. Can't wait! We hope to be getting into the hotel by 5:00, so we'll see ya there!
 

Well I'm back from a weekend at a little slice of Heaven called "Esalen" Wrote alot,eat alot,sat in hot tubs alot,walked thru flower gardens often,was surrounded by smile'n friendly people. And the topper I could hear the Harley's on Hwy#1 and the beautiful Blue Pacific roaring on my other side. Man it dosne't get much better for a gurl like me. Can you say,"I'm feeling mighty fine this a.m.
Yep I'll be in the city on Friday going up with Cindy and Tony (Painted up VW bus from Strawberry) We have a room for Fri. and Sat. as well. See ya'll in da City. Yeeaaaaa
Life is Good...
Sorry I missed da Birthday Beach Party but Amber said they had Fun...
 

Eleven O'Clock? We should be right by that time. If I'm not there, I'll be at Lefty O'Doul's or Johnny Foley's.
 

Nice tip, Martin, thanks, we may just do that as we have all day to play . . . . almost feel like a county hack with a 4 day work week and no holiday!!!! Sure looks like Friday is gonna be fun warmin up for the rest of it!! All the fav usuals, tub, rhythm/vocals, accordian, dawghouse, what about the lead git n mando? Tub, lemme get ya a cold one at Lefty's . . . I'm overdue for both!!!

Rosie, hot tubs, food and the pacific roar sound wonderful!!! Rough life, but, better you than wasted on a goverment worker . . .
 

A government worker would not only get paid for it but get the county to pick up the tab.
 

Which reminds me that Zeke should say something about "Safety" to me Friday so we can claim two hours.
 

You can't call that a safety meeting, why, it only went 9 innings and the home team won in a comeback!!!!!!

"Somethin happened to me yesterday . . . What it was . . I just can't really say . . . Yes something happened to me, it really was so groovy . . . . "

And now, from all of us, to all of you, not including our producer Reg Thorp, please remember, if yer out on yer bike, at night, wear white. Evenin all . . . (assorted off key horn section)

The Stones. Between The Buttons, I Do Believe.

Ride safe JimmyHoss, we'll catch you in The Pub Blanco Caballalito Of All Things Beresford 635 Sutter!!! Friday nite will be hysteric, methinks . . . . ;-)C'mon by, I'll get ya a Sasparilla and some briskit!!!!! Swear, on me, make it worth yer parking in the Hotel Secured lot for the time. Or, bring some friends!!!
 

That'd be the White Horse, Great White Hunter. Try not to wreck the elevator. Last time it just stopped............
at somebody else's floor.

We'll be in around seven or so friday night.

Don't take any wooden bong hits.
 

And Never, Ever loan your wetsuit to a guy who just downed three beers....you know the rest.

Larue, you had better save some of that steam fer when the rest of us git in...you know what happens to folks who pass out too early in that there Hotel. I recall Festivus tying somebody's shoe laces together which made for a tricky trot into the bathroom fer some poor sap!

tictoctictoctictoc
 

OK! Lead git n vocals is in!!

N the guy with a mollusk in his wetsuit is happy and on his A Game.

Me? Tire Early? First nite at a fest Zeke Impression?

'I don't THINK so' SafetyBoy!
 

Actually, Zeke spotted it. I AM kinda fired up for this First Hardly Nearly, kinda like my first few Berry Fests. You kin tell, huh . . . . :GRIN:

HI MIZ LINDA!! That YOU up there in the lighting? lolol I'm bringin a surprise for you I didn't not bring to Plymouth. It it LASTS till 3pm Friday . . .
 

Good Gawd, Larue, no cooking in the rooms! We're in the big city, no frying fish over an iron using the coathanger for a grill.
 

Good One Martin..
Hey Larue you could bring lil tasty nibs for at the park tho..Cause I know ya just have to feed the masses. Are you Catholic or Italian by the way...??
So hitch up those bibs Country boy and see ya in the shitty...
 

OK...so I'm trying to work on some sort of ride to and from the park. Who might want to be in? Who's thinking of driving? Is there any plan?
 

I'm intending to head to the park via my truck both mornings around 7:30-8:00Am to secure good blanket space at the Banjo Stage. I know the rest of you's aint really morning folk, so I might be able to bring an extra blanket er something.
 

Nibbles n kits, nibbles n kits. Brown bag but No cookin in the hhrrruuooommmm, m'sieur? Spoil a citybilly's fun, will ya . . . guess I'll leave the camp stove home then . . . n the fire ring, bbq, driving range lights, skwirrels (he said skwirrel, everonesip) . . . .

Rose, sad to say, we is sippin n suppin on Dah City's Most Demonstrable And Effetomable Finest where ever we can find it.

Tween Phred and my ever changing needs, Larue's Cafe is effectively dark for a while . . .

Are there food vendors at the pahk? If not, we were gonna pack some food. One day pack each, with our clothes to layer in and out of, and water. Lots of water. Not a lot of room for a lotta food, would prefer to spend n vend. Extra room for Brown Water that way . . . . Maybe a camp chair each. Sunscreen, repellant. Hats on early. How's that you old timers, a good list for the day? Miss anything?

A plan? You can't call for a plan!!!! That's facility's job!!!

So Zeke, you offerin to run shuttle (I got gas money), or are you gonna park at dah pahk n stay till the action revs? Play with da skwirrels (he said skwirrel) n mollusks frolicin in the 'grass' . . . ghosts from SpeedWay Meadows past? :GRIN:
 

Hey Jim! Great use of the "shoe Phone" for our dear departed actor friend Don Adams. That show was pretty damn funny.So, let's see here...

No Larue: I won't be runnin shuttle, sorry dude. & check the website fer other details. They have plenty of food vendors, but the lines get long & nasty so bring yer lunch viddles & such. Even bottles are ok at this event, but heavy to carry around.

Damn, this could just be some good fun.
 

That's what you need, Zeke, the back end of your truck filled with meadowcated festivillians zooming down Geary yelling at the cabbies. I guess I'm leaning towards driving too. Hate that but hate getting stuck way out at 25th.
 

Rick and I'll be up in the city Friday noonish, but you all booked up all the rooms at the Beresford, so we'll be in North Beach at San Remo on Friday night, then move over to the Beresford Sat. night. Someone please give me a call on my "shoe phone" 831-320-6789 to let us know what bars you'll be crawling around friday.

We'll likely bus over to the park both days, as I'm leaving my car parked in my neighborhood in Pacific Heights where I have a parking sticker.

Hey Zeke, can I bring you over a blanket tonight to lay out for us? An early riser I'm not!

Patti is also getting out there bright and early with a wagon load and two tarps.

It's gonna be too much fun....

ok - I"m brand new at this blog stuff, so don't give me too hard a time for posting double
 

If I cover one eye, I only see one.
 

Well done on a nice blog larue. I was searching for information on review hot tubs and ran across your post Hardly Nearly Ramblings - not exactly what I was looking for related to review hot tubs but a very interesting read all the same!
