Welcome to California, Twinny.

Gatekeeper Twinny will not be constrained by petty regulation; extracting fundage is her only mission. (Well, not only - parenting Panda is full time as well.)

Cagemasters and gatekeepers . . .

When I'm Swilly Idle, the boundaries change. Redheaded Phedre, the cagemaster, is clearly pleased.
Below: the Siren and the Panda.

The great Dario Rosa on guitar

Three of the four nights featured our friend Dario Rosa and band (that's Cayucos local Tracy Morgan on drums). I first saw Dario in Telluride in 1999 in a band best described as Desi Arnaz on acid; his current style might be a bit less Latin, but it's even more fabulous.

Wet Zeppelin II

This is how the party starts: he jumps out of the Zeppelin just offshore, and surfs on in.

WET ZEPPELIN T-SHIRTS!

Signed by various musicians, of course. Or you can buy a virgin shirt, and stalk the star of your choice.

WET ZEPPELIN II, August 11-15, 2010

Yes indeed, five nights (and one day) of mayhem at the Wildest Winery Party in the World. The musical lineup is not dissimilar to last year's debacle (Wet Zeppelin I, aka Altamont by-the-Sea) but this time Dread Zeppelin will play outside their hotel rooms. We will have several different venues, in SLO, Los Osos, and of course Cayucos, though not including the insecure Vets Hall. (Honestly, how did they come to hire Sleepy Gonzales to mind the back door?)
MORE TO COME!

RockNRoll Wine at Caesar's Palace

Scary picture, eh? I don't think I'm mentioned in Gibbon's "Decline and Fall" but doubtless my ancestors contributed.
