  1. My folks will be in Mexico when I arrive, so I’ll have my parents’ house to myself for the first couple nights.

    Isn’t this the moment when we find some 50-year-old to buy us beer, call everyone we know, and hope neither SDSH nor SDPD breaks up the party? 🙂

  2. Enough of us are in recovery that maybe we score some nice iced green tea and do a little yoga. Oh, and hope the SDPD or SDSH don’t break it up. (Although who knows? Arturo may simply unroll a mat and join us in a few asanas!)

  4. ava, that is hilarious. reminds me of the story of the plaster sheep which disappeared one evening from the Christmas manger scene in Balboa Park. her name became Sheila and she began wearing bright red lipstick.

  10. >>did someone say submission?!?

    All right, all right … I’ll eat my body weight in Smart Dogs out of a dog dish, wearing a studded dog collar, and twist balloons for the children until the police come and haul me off.

    Lou: I, too, am salivating at the prospect of this repast!

    >>did you say recovery

    Actually, I said “Discovery”: So many of us have watched Discovery Channel science shows on the effects of alchohol and other substances on the human body, we’ve committed to a much healthier lifestyle. Thank you, basic cable! 🙂

    I am also open to late morning and post-nap yoga. I am so looking forward to seeing you guys!

    Megan: Thanks for the reminder … We completely forgot to add napping to the gig itinerary! At my age, a nap opens every show — and is often the headliner. 🙂

  14. at my age i now consider naps to be the holy grail. as a single mama i rarely get them. ::sigh:: but yeah, naps rule.

    matthew, i would pay hard earned cash to see that. cash, i say.

    that menu sounds amazing. how can i help? i won’t have a kitchen, but i have a willing heart and can do whatever, run errands, go to whole paycheck and get things, etc. let me know.

    megan, me, too!

  16. I can help with the picnic and anything else. Is there still a Rent-a-Wreck in SD? I’ll get a big ol’ Country Squire and be designated schlepper.

    I’ll do yoga too if you promise not to laugh.

  17. lori, i’d be down if time weren’t of the essence. but in march hen and i are in north bay for a night or two, we should talk.

    megan, girl, geography bugs me. you know that. i wish all our locations could be picked up and put together, like legos.

  18. Lou: I definitely remember Rain Parade, Backdoor of Perception ’83!

    so jazzed to hear you’re spinning the soundtrack of wayback for your boys…

  22. Damn, I’ve gotta hit the gym. (Saying this thinking about the 1/2 a Monte Cristo Sandwich I ate at Disneyland yesterday. Fat dipped in fat, and fried in fat. Mmmmm.) (Don’t get me started on taco shops.)

  23. Lou:
    Wish I still had that national resonator guitar…that was Dave Anderson’s dad’s guitar. I think he got it through the Sears catalog in the 50’s…?
    I borrowed it and kept it for as long as I could, even took it with me when I moved to New York. Great, great old guitar, and loud!
    Dave’s dad was really cool about me basically stealing it from him for several years but finally I had to give it back.

    Many great singalongs in Balboa Park and elsewhere with that guitar..

  24. Dave Anderson’s parents deserve a medal! Of course, so does Patrick’s mom …

    Wow, we should make up some kind of special Che Underground certificate of recognition: “Thanks for the ridiculous shit you put up with when you were grownups and we were kids!” 🙂

  25. Matt, Lou (hello!)- La Vuelta! hell yeah!
    I went last year and they still have the fully miked mariachi horns. And great queso fundido.

  26. Right on, Ava. That’s a great idea for a thread, by the way: There were several parents who tolerated (even encouraged) ridiculous behavior on the part of their kids and never gave up on them. I hope my son will feel the same way about me someday that Pat feels about his mom. I’d like to give mention to Bruce and Carol Klowden, Tom and Judy Rusk, Lou Bacher, and Tom Stoup, for putting up with some especially ridiculous crap.

  27. An aside: Mike McCarthy’s mom became my unexpected Facebook cheering section when I was having a micro-midlife crisis over my last birthday. “You’re just a BABY!”

    Helen Benson McCarthy is one very cool lady.

  28. dirks dad put up with the most insane stuff. he was a good guy. i can still see that house in point loma like it was yesterday.

    monicas mom is up there on the rad scale, too. she took me in a lot.

    and kevin donaker-rings mom? well, she’s still someone i consider a friend. she’s awesome. truly.

  29. Mike McCarthy’s mom put up with untold atrocities! Truly the most patient mom ever. That’s “Kasey and Mike’s” mom, actually. Kasey also put up with a ton- from my corner anyhow. Kasey was the absolute best- always game for an adventure.

  30. other folks to consider
    denise reynolds mom
    whos house i went
    to when i had to

  32. Lou Damian…

    I am in a tizzy…I mean…
    I am super excited to see you
    in a friend sort of way!
    I have many fond memories
    of hanging with you
    at the
    Madison Ave flat
    back in ’85…
    I hope we can get
    a good chat in at the
    pic nic.
    I know the show
    will be too loud
    for me
    to mingle
    very well
    with
    others!

    Yeah,
    I also am
    very fond of
    La Posta
    and
    El Cuervo
    for some hearty
    Mexican food….

    I am excited to eat
    and play!

  34. My mom took in stray miscreants like orphaned kittens. My dad had killer pot. Ah the good old days. If you guys are serious about a picnic why not have it at Kate Cessions Park. I am sure a big part of the crowd attending the Che shindig will have memories of misspent nights rolling in the grass.

    How we met is lost in a haze of drunk and a fist full of KY. Speaking of mexican food the hotdog wrapped in bakin on the streets of TJ were way better than los tacos de graza en pinchi quatro milpaz, per is soloment los rablings de pinchi baracho gabacho.

  36. dork…

    you always knew you’d been to tj, and that it wasn’t a bad hangover memory of walking up and down the ramps, when you woke up with mustard on your fingers. those damn yummy street cart hotdogs.
