Mavericks adjacent

exactamundo!

it's just like when performers yell 'thank you san francisco!' at shoreline amphitheater.

Sometimes adjacent is OK....I remember when I saw the English Beat at Don Quixote's and Wakeling yelled out "Hello Felton!"

That was the funniest thing I ever heard at a concert.

I saw the English Beat at Santa Cruz Civic in 1981. We snuck backstage and met Dave Wakeling. He was signing autographs right handed, but plays guitar left handed, so I said, "You're right handed," and he said "It made sense to do the really difficult part with your right hand."

Something I really missed over summer 2020 was the boardwalk shows

That was fookin great! Best beach concert so far. A gorgeous day, not too crowded, and a fine season opener. 

EB is just the lead guitar/vocalist now and he’s a bit lounge act cheesey, but charming and still in okay voice with decent chops. He’s got a half JA sideman to honor the spirit of two tone, drummer, bass, two Asian keyboardists who could be brothers, a back up singer and a decent sax. The band is still tight, navigating those speedy hairpin turns and brakes of ska - perfect for the beach. So irie. So bless.

Almost went back for set 2 but I indulged in a veggie corn dog at the beach and regretted that late into last night. 

WTH don’t I have any English Beat in my collection?

Yay? An area southeast of the Lair had fires last night because of the High Winds. When i was out walking the dogs this morning, I saw 6 fire trucks stream by at about 4am

Is God mad at us?

[Drunk Monk]

Okay, now I get the atmospheric river thing.

I shouldn't have put off building that ark.

[Greg]

It hasn't stopped raining in Raymond for twenty four hours. We have twelve hours to go. At least.

[King Bob]

Raining here since last night, but we didn't get as much as Santa Cruz and the mountains. It has really come down at times though.

Right...what's a cubit?
