  • boonville beer festival
    • is here! this year is the tenth anniversary, and it promises to be a wild one! there are 61 participating breweries (as of today), and i can't wait to get up there and set up camp. this is the third year that i have gone with my sister, her husband, and our friends. Of course as a seasoned veteran of this festival, i can't help but offer a few suggestions of my personal favorites....just in case you happen to show up after reading this fabulous blog entry :)

    1)
  • 21st amendment watermelon wheat
    • light and refreshing. the perfect summertime brew!

    2)
  • bison chocolate stout
    • just like it sounds. full bodied chocolate flavor. yum!

    3)
  • da grind buzz kona coffee stout
    • coffee taste without the sour stomach (coffee makes me ill)

    and here is one brewery i'm not familiar with, but i'm amped to try what they bring:
  • the beach chalet


    • so if you've got nothing to do this weekend, come check it out...and if you are coming, i'll see you at beer thirty. cheers!

    moving day

    as of 5:30 this evening, i will officially be a resident of willow glen i'm droping off the first rent check, picking up the key, and hauling the first of my belongings up to the apartment. My new roomie is a good friend, and I know we are going to have awesome time. Although I wasn't as prepared as I would have liked, and it will be a few weeks before I'm truly settled, I still couldn't be more excited. In the midst of all this moving chaos, I will be taking a short road trip to The Oregon Shakespeare Festival , to check out Othello and Our Town this weekend. I so need this little excursion. It's going to be a nice break, and a chance to catch up with some old friends.

A funny thing happened when my friend and I went to pick out seats.

We had our momentary silent freak out when we realized it was him, at which point I quietly leaned over and told him he was awesome.

    it's self-portrait tuesday santa cruz beach boardwalk. february 11th, 2006 i haven't done this in awhile, but i thought the photo booth picture was worth a submission. i looooooooove photo booths. i love it when you try to jam 10 people into 1 small booth. i love it when unexpected moments happen between shots and they get captured. i love the linear design. i love the fact that you have 4 chances to get it right. basically i'm obsessed with photobooths. i'm totally going to get one for my "mtv cribs" house. ps. just note to all of my friends: if you come visit me, one of the stops on our tour will most definitely be the santa cruz beach boardwalk. their arcade has like, 20 photobooths, not to mention the best roller coaster in the world.
