In celebration of the Pisces – Ara and Lorily, we headed up to Plaskett Creek with a “rain or shine” attitude this last weekend.  The waves weren’t all that great, but the camping and the beach time was epic.  At around 1 p.m. the tide was at approximately a -0.4.  Although it had some small effect on the already meager surf conditions, it had a more profound effect on the coastline, leaving us this sweet natural pool area surrounding a large rock along the coast.  Believe it or not, the water to the far left is probably 1 foot deep, and then it sharply declines to approximately 10 feet around the boulder.  The photo above is a pic of Scott Kam and Greg Cherry cutting loose like flying ninjas.

Check out some of the tequila and tecate infused campfire tunes from Pax (low res) and Cully (HD)…….

As I poured through Costume Capers with Lulu for about a half an hour, I decided to really go out on a limb this year. I went the halloween party at Nepenthe as a nerd. The most disturbing thing about my outfit was that I pretty much owned everything already, with the exception of the glasses. But if you had a time machine, you could’ve probably just dialed it back about 20 years, and BLAM…you’d have a near spitting image. Anyway, the party was incredible, full of ups and downs and crazy people seemingly half insane by acting out their characters. Yeah, you know who I’m talking about, Batman!!! Take home message: If you haven’t been to Nepenthe for the Halloween party, pick up a ticket next year. I’ll see you there.
