40's, educated, cultured, green activist, geek, and motorcycle nut .... Into art, culture, philosophy, bikes, protesting about everything, linux computing, environmental issues, alternative fuels, minimalism, anti-consumerism, liberalism, screwing with the system and generally messing with your head. Oh, and cats.

Mine is a generation that circles the globe and searches for something we haven't tried before.
So never refuse an invitation, never resist the unfamiliar, never fail to be polite and never outstay the welcome.
Just keep your mind open and suck in the experience.
And if it hurts, you know what? ... It's probably worth it.

A Blues Bash ...

Saturday night at the Cricketers in Kingston. Well, once in a while you have to blow the cobwebs off, have a few beers with a few mates and listen to a loud, cracking blues band.

It helps that the maniac drummer on the skins was mate Dave W., who’s birthday it was. I even showed up early to help him set up but mostly got in his way, I think.

Awesome band, and loud, too. Nice we had our own private smoking balcony!

… And if the music between sets was not to your taste, that’s my fault - we rigged up my mp3 player to the sound system (well, sound tech Jamie did) to provide ambient background, so the tracks were my taste. Not all good.

Go to my picasa page for the few images that came out.
