20080717 Flogging Molly WITH IN A MILE OF HOME

Flogging Molly played a free show from 7-8:30 Thursday evening as part of the Music in the Park series in downtown San Jose. They were good, but the middle of their set wasn't super. The pit was really tough (or I'm a wimp), but I sustained no injuries. The pit was the only place people were moving.

20080712 04 Saturday nite in da City

Peps put on a show for his birthday. I was pysched to The Whiskey Avengers for the first time. They were lots of fun. The first band wasn't my thing, but I liked the drummer. I skanked like a fool to WA and had some companions on the floor with me.

life is good

highlights from my weekend:


Seeing my favorite local ska bands (Monkey, Uptones) on Friday night at a great club, and folks in the bands knowing my name and being happy to see me.

Skating, in my late 40s, until just before sunset on Sunday evening in a remarkable setting at San Jose's great new park with my music selection playing.  Getting rolls for $3 from a busy Vietnamese shop where I am the only Caucasian customer.  Picking up a couple beers on the way home.  Drinking and eating in the backyard.  

What could be better?  Well, my wife and son could be home to enjoy it with me, but one must soldier on...










photos should be up on flickr soon...

and in closing, lyrics from New Jersey punk rockers THE BOUNCING SOULS (Better Things- Gold Record CD)

It's really good to see you rocking out and having fun
Living like you've just begun
Accepting life and what it brings


ciao,

Miles
