I love the friends that I make by going to shows. This weekend, I had the pleasure of celebrating the marriage of two such friends. The wedding was in San Luis Obispo and the whole weekend felt a bit like a relaxing vacation. We drove up the PCH (what a view!), made it to a farmer’s market and a drive-in movie (my first!), and explored a bit of downtown SLO (including SloDoCo Donuts). The highlight, however, had to be going to the apple orchard in between the wedding ceremony and reception and picking apples from the trees in formalwear. The locals were very complimentary.
It’ll be a short music week for me as I’m taking off for another out of town adventure on Thursday, but I’ll be cramming in as many live tunes as possible before I leave including a very highly anticipated Mondo Cozmo show Tuesday night at The El Rey.
