This past Thursday I had the pleasure of playing Dr. Gonzo for the Flying Dog Gonzo Beer Dinner at National Mechanics. The people from Flying Dog were really great, and I think I am now hooked on their Raging Bitch Belgian-Styled Ale. Darren went as Raoul Duke and Kate, as always, did an amazing job with the decorations.

There is a much better write-up about event here:

Dan is a great guy who is very smart about being a gun owner. He is politically active about it and even has his own non-profit organization with an informative website where you can learn more about the laws, politics and safety around firearms.

Check out this video, produced by a friend of Lee’s. It uses some of our music! Pieces from King Rubby in the Garden of Eden and a couple of Karma Canon tracks are featured.

This hilarious music video was filmed at the J&J Trestle Inn, a place my friends and I have frequented for years. In fact, it is the “official” place to celebrate my friend Ross’ birthday. I am glad the unique atmosphere of this establishment has been captured for the masses to enjoy. I used to live & work 2 blocks from this place. Thanks to Darren for sending!

I recently got to participate in a beer tasting with TwoGuysOnBeer.com as they were filming their 50th post. They film at National Mechanics. They are really nice guys. I actually ran into Johnny on my way to work today and he invited me to come back on sometime. Here is the post:

This is great… (not safe for work)

My friend Jesse had a bunch of his stuff stolen. When police were less than helpful, he took matters into his own hands and found the criminals. This is an amazing story!
