hey kids! i know some of you are getting away from it all this weekend, but those of you who choose to stay here in l.a., there are TONS of things to do! besides our gig at coffee cartel tonight in redondo beach, you can come up to the mountains tomorrow afternoon, where tisa and i will be playing from noon til about 3:30pm - we are going to be outside in the sunshine, in the clean mountain air, hanging out with you all, at newcombs ranch. now, if you havent ever been to this place, or to the san gabriel mountains, here is your big CHANCE!!!! the drive is spectacular! the views are amazing from up there, too, and you may even spot a bobcat or a bear!!!! they serve food, and even have a bbq outside during the holiday weekends, full bar, and you can bring the whole family, ride up on your harley, hike around the area... a nice weekend for all of the above! i hope to take some pics and post them of our weekend! anyway, have a safe independence day weekend!!!!! xoxo
