I heard on the radio this morning that they are banning all smoking on the beaches in Santa Cruz begining November 20th...........You can't get more Outside then that...........

Bastages...

Well , I am reasonable sure that Mrs. Dragon and I are still going to spark up a stogie while strolling on the beach in the moonlight.

I say, let them eat cake, with cigar ashes on top!

Ok this makes no sense. The city tha passes out dope for free to make a point now bans any type of smoaking on the beach.

guess that cigar I had in August while sitting on the deck at Ideal Bar and Grill could be the last I'll have there ... too bad, it was a nice experience

Freakin', hipocritic liberals. I haven't heard about this. Most likely this is a city ordinance. I'm at Pleasure Point which is considered East Side (way cooler). Still in Santa Cruz County, but not in the city. Capitola Village, where I tend bar should be O.K.

SteveS,

Ideal's sister co., Zelda's in Capitola Village should still be O.K. They have a better deck anyway.

It will be okay to smoke a joint on the beach, just not anything made of tobacco.

Well, to be fair.......Beaches are a major fire hazard, all that water and sand, very flammable.

sketcha, My wife is from Capitola (Well, Watsonville, but moved there as an adult) Sense I'm in Carmel, maybe I will stop by your bar sometime......

SP,

**Thread Jack**

Dont waste yer time SP, he'll just come up with some sort of ailment and stand you up. Doesnt want you to know what he REALLY does there!

HA!

Sorry Sketch, couldnt resist!

BTW my name is Kendall

Oh, but I see you gave HIM your cell number...

Freakin bass player

O.K. I'm busted. I'm really the men's room attendant.

Yeah, I was out with back trouble the night Beat came over.

Beat,

It is because of you that I'm giving out my number these days. I gave it to Slim yesterday. He's a Silicon Valley cat too.

For the record... I did email Beat a day before he came over, but he didn't check it. Stupid, freakin' drummers. Let that be a lesson to everyone.

I feel so special and insulted all at the same time!!

Then my work here is done.

Beat,

Did you get my CD yet?

Oh sure...

e-mail forth coming.

Hey everyone sketcha really is a bass player...a damn fine one at that!

Only a stupid drummer would think that I'M a good bass player. Adequate is as strong a word as I would choose, but thanks anyway, Beat. = )

C'mon now, it aint all that bad. Hey, compared to what we have heard auditioning for us lately, you would be at the top of the list.

But hell, what do I know, im just a stoopid drummer that got lucky to get a gig.

I believe this was because of the cigarette butts that littered the beach. However, if that were truly the case, they would ban all drinks and food as well.

This is just another case of the government reacting to the sensitive few.
