A Day at the Pumpkin Patch with Rigel, Akasha and Spencer

December 7, 2009 1:48 am

Way back in October, Rigel, Spencer and I took Akasha to a Pumpkin Patch to pick out our Halloween pumpkins. Being a whole year older than our last visit, Akasha was much more involved in the choosing of pumpkins.

Nostalgia Fest for Sad Old Geezers – Photos

September 7, 2009 4:41 pm

This weekend, the Phoenix Theater hosted one of the most well organized, super fun shows featuring a slew of bands from the heyday of Sonoma County punk bands. Since I am so much younger than my friends, there was an element of feeling like I was at someone else’s reunion, but it was a lot of fun to be there, and to see so many people and bands that I’ve heard stories about for years.

Mickey and the Big Mouths were my personal highlight of the show. I thought they sounded great, and I had a ton of fun taking photos and testing out my new 24-105mm lens.

Classic Cars at the Wine Country Cobra Classic II

On our way to Placerville to check out the Gold Bug Mine, Mike and I drove through Sonoma and had to stop when we saw the town square filled with gorgeous classic Cobras (many of them original Shelby’s). The cars were all gorgeous and in beautiful shape. Mike told me that there are probably under 300 Shelby’s left in the world, and we saw a great many of them in Sonoma, so even though the Sonoma route took longer and I got us a little bit lost, it was a fortuitous detour.
