Hi Mephisto!

Hope you and Sugar Magnolia have enjoyed yourselves!

Well, not in the same way that you and Mr Mephisto enjoy yourselves (semi publicly in view of men with big guns<g>), but yeah, we've been playing a lot of 8-ball at the Twinkly Bit, lately.

I'm behind on stuff too. I need to put the roof back on the horse shelter. It's actually started to rain here and the horse is saying "Uh. Excuse me! There's no roof on my horse house!". It blew off last March (in like a lion). It was the second time it happened and I just threw up my arms and walked away from it. It's all a mangled mess. I need to figure out a way to straigten the tubular cross members by wedging it into a tree and backing into it with the yellow Pokemon truck until it's straight.

We went to the Bridge School benefit[1] last week. It was a benefit for the band "Green Day". They were raising money in order to acquire all of the hundreds of thousands of used "Green Day" CDs in the used CD bins at record stores and dispose of them in an evironmentally friendly manner.

I went because the Who was there. Well, that and to see the big Taco Bell right on the beach at Half Moon Bay (awesome). Sugar Magnolia mostly wanted to see Sheryl Crow and Neil Young. Crosby and Stills were SUPPOSED to be there. Apparently they were incarcerated for breaking Nash's legs.

The two remaining guys from The Smashing Pumpkins were there. One can easily understand why the other members LEFT. Just the same, the drummer re-joined the band halfway through the set out of pity. Perl Jam was there too. They sound like what 'bad heroin' must *be like. Edit: You gotta figure that by the time the heroin gets to Eddie Vedder in Seatle, it's been pretty well stepped on. :)

Emmylou and her astral twin Lucinda Williams were there. Lucinda Williams was awesome. The highpoint of the 10 hour concert was Brian Wilson. The music touched down several times during his set. Everybody was *way into singing Good Vibrations and Surfin' USA. He was exceptionaly animated. That was my favorite part.

Neil Young had the audience doing massive audience participation with "Homegrown", only he had to get the camera lights off of the audience before they'd sing along with him (paranoia). Apparently more than half of the people at the show were GROWERS! Anyway, it was 'web cast' but I didn't watch it.

I'm still in awe of that Taco Bell. We picked up some friends in the city (SF) on the way down there (AMD Shoreline Ampatheater) and caravanned down in two cars. Everyone in SF is under NDA nowadays. It's a wonder anyone talks at all.

At the venue (Shoreline) there were two tattered and faded AMD flags high up on the spires left and right. It was kinda poetic the way those flags were flying so ripped and faded over 1999; standards flying over the end of the PC era.
