green flag greatness

After days of yellow flag status.We were green today.Patrons were happy.Boogie Boaders especially the young ones were really happy.Im sure Beach goers were also happy not to hear whistles blowing all day!
Some say theres another hurrican that supposed to churn up out seas again.Others say it will miss us and just blow itself out ..whatever that means.
I dont have control of the weather and mother nature is hard to predict so we will just have to see.
In other news The President declared an end to combat in Iraq.This should end of the talf about the building of the mosque near ground zero..for awhile.The press will talk this issue dry.We still havent found Bin Laden yet have we?
I made a new playlist and have another rollin round my head.Titles are swirlin round my head like a twister too.
I'll post them both when the new one is finished.Most likely over the weekend!

A beautiful Night

Wow!What a night!
I started off playing Reggae and a little dance music.My friend Jimmy Kaplow showed up with his Mom and 2 other friends.THAT truly touched me.I played some grateful Dead and Beatles just for him.He liked my DJ gear and what I spinned.There were a few raffles,more music and the Movie,"Castles in the sky" was cool.
After the Movie Sandy told me to play more music.I started out with some jazz and then some surf tunes including surfer bird wich a few folks dance too.I threw in other dancable tunes and the tunes were a hit.I was stoked!Dayam!My last song I played was Judy Colling "Amazing Grace"
Why does that song bring me to tears?is it the song or her Flawless Voice?Perhaps both!
I got lots of positive feedback and felt lots of love.It was awsome!I do what I do and hope folks have fun and are blessed by it and given a moment to get away from everyday stress and get caught up in the music and Dance leaving behind all the worries of the world if only for a few hours!
Peace and Love to all who came out for the fun!
Special Thanks and Eric,Sandy,Cooper and the rest of the Beach house Peeps!
Peace and Love
Trish

A fun day of music and friends

As usual my Alarm went off at 8am.I hit the snooze button and then it went off again at 8:15 and the radio was playing Tina Turners Song "Simply The Best"
I got up and answered Natures call.I want so badly to catch another 15 minute snooze and something in my head said "NO you DON"T..Get up!"
I got up and got dressed and cleaned up.
I was debating on whether to take the bike or walk to the firehouse where my DJ gear was.Chip picked it up yesterday and said if I find a way there he will bring me and my gear home.
If I walked there would be one less thing to pick up.It was also a nice day and perfect for a walk.
I did leg stretches at the top of the bridge..yeah I know I should stretch before I get started but I didnt.
When I got to the firehouse my first thought was to go to Muellers and get coffee but the Line was a mile long.The Firehouse had cofee but no cups.My quest for coffee came up empty.
I found where my Gear was stored and went about the business of setting up.I was lucky enough to find an old rust handtruck and used it.
By the time I was set up and made sure I had power it was 10ish.I played light rock oldies and Jazz at a low volume per Chips request.
I also played Anchors away for one of the guys who was in the Navy.I teased him and told him I have to play the Marines hymn next year!
Meanwhile Tyler and the band had arrived and were getting squared away.
The 12 oClock Whistle blew and so I welcome everyone and played some reggae and surf tunes,Then Introduced them and they played for an hour.
we each had 2 one hour sets.
There wasnt much dancing that I saw but I got good feedback.I felt good about that.
I saw a many alumni from BHS and a few lifeguards.
A reporter from The Ocean Star came over and asked me how to spell my last name and what town I lived in.
Tomorrow I go back to being mild mannered Trish Mullins, badge checker...and yes in a few weeks its back to BHS.
Next Friday Ill be DJing again at the Beach House Movie night!

BHFC Tomorrow

Tomorrow is the Bay Head Firehouse Clambake.This year will be my third year spinning tunes there Bween The Sherman Brothers Band. pretty much know the songs they play so Im care not to play so Im careful not to play the same songs.We get along well.The guys in the band like me and I like them.
Today Chip came and Picked up my gear to store it in the firehouse overnight.I locked my CD case to be on the safe side.there 200 CDs in there so precautionary measures must be taken!
I also will be spinning at the next beach house movie night.Details to follow soon.
Have a great weekend!

ghosts in the stereo?

2 days ago I woke up and thought I heard music.It was 7am.I sat up for a minute and it sounded like the downstairs stereo was on.WTF?I know I turned it off last night!Sometimes Ill turn the CD player off but lead the head unit on.OK could it be an electrical power trip or are my parents letting me know they're watching me?
it was weird for sure.I do often wonder if the spirit of my parents are among us.In mycase im not scared I just know they are checking up on me?
one time when I was at a friends house a can of peas fell off the shelf and were were in the next room.
In other news there was no bage checking today due to the rain.I took the time off to mail mixes to 2 cousins and get more mailing envelopes and also pick up 2 CDs at the library.yes the engines of creation are turning once again.
Im pretty much ready for Saturdays gig.Going togo to my facebook page to see if theres anyone who has a song request posted.
I will post my newest playlist soon.
check back later alligator!
Peace
Trish

cold air and hot tea

Well at6 long last we have a new Air condioning unit.Now I can have a hot cup of tea at night.
In a few weeks its back to BHS.Although its been hot as heck its been a nice summer despite the heat.I made a new playlist called August 2010 That I'll post soon.The Library has gotten lots of cool music in lately and I have 10 items on hold.I feel a new playlist is going to arrive soon!

extra extra read all about it new AC to come on soon!

Today I wke up at 9.30am and heard the guys work on installing our new Air condioning units.I got up and got dressed,did some emailing and headed out on my bike.My first stop was Bay Head School where I gave Frank a Beach house T Shirt for his birthday.He liked it.Then I stopped in the main office to chat with the boss and The secretary and enjoyed the cool air.Afterwords I went to see Laurie in the BOE office who is stressed by personal issues but was working hard just the same.I told her she can come down to the beach early in the morning for a decompression session.The way the sun reflects on the water in the morning calms any and all frayed nerves!
Next I went to the post office and mailed out a few mixes a some friends.My belly was telling me it need somethingso I pedaled on Over to Rockin Joes and got a great burger with fries.
Next I went and bought some CD-rs and then to the library to pick up some cds I ordered.
My last stop was Bay Point Market to get soda.Gonna be on the wagon for a bit.This weekend I felt I did a little to much drinking.Time to put the brakes on that and be on the wagon for a while.
Now for a power nap and then dinner.
Good news we may have our new ac working tomorrow night and some new CDs arrived in the mail todaso a new mix will in in the works soon!

mother natures holds the ace!

Today Bay Head beach was yelloe flag which mean dangerous swimming conditions.Patrons who wich do go in knee deep in from of the lifeguards.Rip tides and undertoes were making for big waves.A swimmers nightmare but a surfers Dream!We had a total of 10 rescues today.
Some folks dare to test there power against such conditions.When they get cought in a rip and cant get out not only are they in dangers but now a brave lifeguard must risk his or her life getting them out!
When I was 10 I got got caught in a rip and it was scary.I never went out past my angers during a yellow flag again.
Dont gamble with mother nature!shes ALWAYS holding the ace!
When in doubt don't go out!

more Trish Travels

I woke up about 11am today.The first order of business was a shower!
As my hair was drying I booted up the computer and finished getting dressed.
I was in the mood for a pizza after I checked my email so I headed down to a Pizza shop called Monalissas.A slice and Pissa is $3.00 but its a big slice with soda too btw.
After that I went to the post office to mail out mixes to friends and family.My next stop was Central Market where I bought myself a klondike bar which tasted great on this humid day and before leaving I bought Dale(a friend and coworker) a coffee and delivered that.He was happy to get the coffee and my latest mix "Shine on Brightly"
I made a brief stop at the beach house and Applegate to say hello.
Other folks I had mixes for were Bordans stationary and Vinnie at Ocean County music where I was able to slip Vinnie his mix right before he was about to start a Guitar Lesson to a young student.
I had one more mix left.I pedeled down to Atomis CDs and gave one to Eric the Owner and noticed a guy about 20 looking through records and his friend bought a few.Aha so its true!People still do buy the vinyl!cool!
Eric liked the track list of Shine on Brightly.I had 11 bucks in my pocket so onward a shopped and found a CCR cd for 5 so I got it.
I this mix giving and shopping made me thirsty so I went to the Green Planet for an orange gatorade and now all this blogging has be thirsty again so Ill have a beer on the porch and then some dinner!
Good night!

Trish's travels

Today was my day off so I planned to relax and hang out but there were a few things I needed.Computer Paper,CD Jewel cases and a few mailing envelopesbut I didnt feel like going over the brigge.The Lovelandtown bridge that is.
I went to Klotses Kitches(formally Kellys kitchen)and had a coffee and a Short stack of pancakes.the installed new cabinets on the wall and theres a new flatscreen TV!The new owner is very nice and pleasant.
Next I went to Special T Graphics to say hello to Sheryl finishing a project for a customer due to arrive any moment so out visit was short but nice.
I decided to go to the Rite aid in Stop and Shop up the road.there was hardly any traffic getting there but the parking lot was full and busy so extra caution was taken.Its amazing some folks don't get run over.They walk out of the store and into the road without looking like they're indestructible they thinkhey are?Captain Scarlet?lol!Oh well I had to pay attention to what I was doing and not worry about them.
I got what I needed and headed home.now im spening time blogging and then going to make a few copies of my latest mix.
