Rockin mixes

Yes my fellow mix makers the mixtape culture still lives!Here are a few CD mixes from my friends Larry aka Orcaman and Also Kathy Bone.
 I connected with them when were were all on the art of the mix site and then a hand full of us left there and joined Zenrunning order.
that whole story is on an ealier blog.
I handful of us still keep in touch at the facebook page.
 There are still folks who enjoy getting and sending mixes in the mail despite the rise in postage!

speaking of music, I went to the car cruise in downtown Point Pleasant beach and chatted and hung out with Area musician Ed Austin and DJ Tommy Lynch who have been entertaining the crowd for years!

What a weekend.
It started yesterday at 7am.I got up.very slowly I might add.I sat on the edge of the bed for what seemed like 15 minute and all of the sudden it was 7:20.I got dressed and wore my blue BHS t shirt.Being I pull my gear out in the hall all I had to do was haul it out to the car.The bag with the cables and the console went first and I put in in the front seat,Patrick and Ed came out and before I knew it my speakers were in the back seat.I hauled out CD case.I then Closed the doors,locked up the house and off I went.
Traffic wasn't bad.When I pull in the parking lot was pretty full but I did find a close by parking spot.
It was a little chilly so I put on my BHIA staff jacket.I saw many familiar folks including my boss and his wife and then I went to Mueller's Bakery for a large coffee and Blueberry Muffin.I even got an empty seat!
Mr and Mrs Dalton came in for their round of coffee i'm sure.Andi's flowers and gifts is now where Mark Fore & Strike was for 30 + years.Im glad she bought it.It looks great inside.
At about 9am I went out the Business of setting up my gear.Brian Potter help.Thank you Brian!Folks didn't stick around like they usually do but I got lots of good feedback.I played till about 11:15 and then was told to shut it off.I guess they wanted to wrap things up.Many folks were there till 6:30 so I was told.
When I got home Patrick emerged ready to help!He did a good job!
I took a little breather when everything was squared away and then headed out on my bike.Central Market was having a cooking contest so I went over to see what was going on.That too was wrapping up.Mr Curtis was the winner.
They were making burgers so i bought a burger and Pepsi and it was pretty good.I also made a quick stop at The Beach House.There was a dodge ball tournament a few days earlier and they won it.
My next stop was The Nicholas's but George had work to do so He could chat but told be to come back around 4 and join him in a beer.
I went to Borden's and bought a 25 pack of CDrs and then walked around Arnold Ave for a bit.
On the way back to Georges I stopped at A&P liquors and bought a 6pack of Coors.Beth's mom was there for the weekend so I invited her to join us.She did and we say and had a nice chat.
George still had things he wanted to get done before Beth came home so off I went.
The days events suddenly crept up on me so I took a little nap!
Later I had dinner and chatted with Laurie and Ed and had a few beers with them.Then I check my email and went to bed.
Today I slept in.I went to meet the Rockin Joes group and had a large coffee and a Bagel with creme cheese.The stomach wasn't feeling 100%.Hmm perhaps a little effects from the drinking I thought.
From there I went to the car cruise and hung out with my friend DJ Tommy Lynch!That's always fun.
Afterwards I went to see Eloise at thoughtful treasure but they were closing up so I dint get in.
My stomach was still iffy so I went home for yes,another nap!
All in all It was a pretty good weekend.A little Chilly but still good!
Special Shout outs to my guest roadies Ed and Brian and a my junior Roadie Patrick!

so Cool!

Yesterday I went to the car cruise.DJ Tommy Lynch was there and so was Ed Austin.There were also some modern Dance troupe there and the name escapes me.There was another Small trio by the Sunshine daydream shop.
Tommy and Ed both gave me hellos over the mic.Sweet.Ed and Tommy were Talking at one point.Im guessing they know each other from over the years.
Roxy of Roxys Bay Head blog Gave both me and the Sherman brother band shout outs on her blog.
I put in for a day off on the 20th.
so set sail for fun and musical adventure August 20th from 12 noon till 5pmat the Bay head fire companys annual clambake.Im so happy to be giving my time to a worthy cause.There will be a 50/50 too!
Each year I know im getting older when I see more and more BHS alumni drinking beer,married and bearing children.oh my!yep 10 years till retirement.How fast they grow up!Most of them make me proud though,I must say!
No matter how much your tix cost remember its a VERY worth while cost.Keep our firefighters well trained and equipted!Think your family van takes alot of gas?ask what it cast to fuel a firetruck!
OK so back to the car show.There were quite a few antique cars no modernized with new stereo systems or interior bling!that was cool for me.
It was a nice turnout.
Soo August has arrived and with it comes a semi return to school duties.Yesterday I filled 3 garbage bags will shredded documents.Our recourse room teacher Diane informed me she has MORE for me.I promised her Id do that upon my next day im there.
Our Secretary and principal were both out.If they think im a slacker perhaps the amount of shredding I did in 2 hours time will remind them I'm NOT!
Im not asking for praise or whatever.just a little R E S P E C T!
OK that is the news and I am outta here!
