The Surf Kitchen

Our friend Troy, who majored in Hippies on Pe**te at UC Berkeley, introduced to me, and you know, many others standing around me, at the Tressell, the idea of Power Spots. Would be interesting to hear about any of your favorite places that you've traveled to, and some of your memorable Central Valley spots of power.

In a related note, who's farm house was that that we had the incredible electric amplified throwdown, uh-huh

What's the Behind The Music story with my cousin Laura's favorite band in high school, The Vandals? She played me a demo tape when I visited for Christmas, and I heard some hits. Something about "Lipstick Smiles" Was there ever a chance it was going to become more than a Davis High sensation? Was there an album or anything like it? Who all was in the lineup?

What's something you're most proud of that you've accomplished in your life?

So, is Blue Velvet, with it's iconic movie line "Heineken! F-that, Schmidt Sports Pack!" still the best movie of the past 40 years? If you disagree, I'm open to your incorrect opinions, suggestions, and/or lists.
