love you caspar inn - anna

I was lucky enough to spend some of my childhood in Mendocino ...it's magic and Caspar is magic... the ocean sits beautifully outside the window, the cozy rooms cradle us upstairs, then as the night hits, the whole place starts pulsing with dancers, rockers, watchers and rollers and then the room let's its freak flag fly...we had a great show, always have a great show there...

Sunday

Mornin' sunshines...

So halfway through 'Trampled' I heard the bassline for 'Thriller' and it seemed so very fitting to pay tribute to the 'King of Pop'...I remember wobbeling up and down the hallway to it in my Mom's Schwenk High Heels practicing... *n

430am

Oh for crying out loud a hickupattackk??? As my Mom used to say: He thinks of you, he kisses another and does not feel the difference..well in German it sounds almost funny, not really though...it is meant to scare you into not hickingupping anymore...argg, this might explain a lot...(my ears are ringing...) *n

...

That is one bright Milkyway.

... Shootingstars...I can now shower and sleep. ... Ok, I did go back to the hallwayhang...wow great, great stories. About the circus at first ave in Mineapolis's...ladys parts lightbulb and teeth on a 9volt: light...and someone is sharing to all guests from the the largest bag of **** I have ever seen... Glad I only do scotch. Ahhhhh...alive and dazed. *n

Shhhhhh...

I have to admit (to no one in particular), that I snuck outside to stargaze with the rest of a shot of Lagavulin 16 ...one of the many reasons I like it up here... we saw a bad accident on our way here, flipped over car ...it could have landed in our windshield only a bit earlier... made me think of someone I loved who died just like that ...hope they were OK... life is so precious *n

Caspar...

Well, Scott was not here, but we played 'Houses' in his honour...get well soon dearest! What a crowd...Thank You for dancing the way ya'll did...and the Bartender...he made me wish I was a cheerleader and would make out in the bleachers...alas I am not blond...cookies? Clem has Deans cookies? Sorry gotta go...Party is waiting in the other room...so glad we get a break soon going crosscountry... Dean always has the yummy stuff in his roller case and I am soooo hungry after the rock...and his wine...his wine rocks...I learned the glass rim sound ring trick here last year with his crystal goblets...glad I didn't have this phone yet then...those pictures shall remain unpublished...oh champagne cork... *n

Friday

Hard Afterlive...

Oh! The sacrifices we have to make...

Truckee River Love

Best view for a bassplayer...
Dean and John, Crew Superchief and 4Bodiesguard...not to be messed with!
Gretchen got eaten by Mo'Skeeters...in the most incredible places...Oh, if you were wondering ...that white van going around the roundabout...again...that was us going: weeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee *n

Thursday

Ranch hang - anna

The river is roaring, band is soaring ready to rock it... All raise a glass for michael and farrah

Tuesday

May I please add this to our rider?

I'd like to thank Sir Moss for ruining me for the future. Jack and Jim were never my friends, Mark and Johnnie had been reliable companions, but one taste of this and it was over...1963... Bunnahabhain 25- I will never forget my first. I might not be able to say it, but oh! I can still smell it. Like licking suede of a burning Cherry Tree... Talisker-How I wish I could have you. LAPHROAIG- I'm yours, forever. *n

Watch for the Attackorn!

It may seem like a cute fluffy Unicorn,
sweet and innocent, but if you come too close... arrrrrrggg no really he will shredd you (his name is Dart, as in d'Artagnan, great neck pillow for hours of sleep in the frontseat) *n

Who is the one and only? OXOXOXO

Yes, our dearest Errol Jim. Happy Birthday!!!
