A Poet's Life

I attended a poetry show on Saturday evening at Beyond Baroque in the hipster land of Venice Beach. It was a virgin like experience as I walked inside the lions den of live poetry but I was really impressed. This cat, Derrick Brown is the real deal. All the poets who performed were witty, punchy, and real crowd pleasers. I failed to buy the books after the show but plan on ordering Brown's collection off his site. Check out Write Bloody publishing and Brown Poetry for more info.

Brown will be performing at Open Books in Long Beach on Saturday, February 19th. Be there. Ok now it's ROMANCE TIME...

He's Our Man

Jack was an inspiration to us all. Amazing energy and intense charge for life. I always thought he would live to be 110 years old but 96 is the real deal.
I created this banner ad back for the Cavotu website back in March 2006. Classic shot indeed. Time for juice and fingertip push ups. RIP brother. Guttermouth said it best...

Straight Fizzn

The fam bam and I were making our way back from SLO last night when we stopped in Camarillo for a minute to refuel the g-ride. I stumbled upon this gem of candy/soda shop called Rocket Fizz. Apparently this was their first flagship store and now they have 13 locations across the country. Never heard of it but it reminded me of Powell's with a much larger collection of sodas and speciality drinks. I ended up trying out this random rootbeer that was recommended by the shop dude. A rather tasty blend I must say. I'm not sure if 'root' is the new beer but they definitely got something special going on there in Wisconsin.
