Mr. Hi de Hi de Ho

So the Kern County Fair started last week and like most years, I didn't think anything of it.  I didn't really have a plan for going and thought it would just pass this year like it did all the other years, without me knowing or even caring about it.  All of that changed though when I found out that Big Bad Voodoo Daddy was coming.  I knew that would be a concert that I HAD to go to.  Now you probably know that I'm not really good at dancing, and, if it's swing, people usually get hurt.  All that aside I went and just planned on enjoying the music.  They played an awesome show and twice, Nikki actually braved the dance floor with me and we tried to swing.  We weren't that good compared to some people out there, but that's ok, we had fun.  She also didn't get smacked in the face either.  It was actually a surreal experience, having listened to them for quite some time.  I know that it would've been something that my dad would've loved.  If you ever get the chance to go see them, do it.  You won't be disappointed.  I'm actually already planning on going to see them again in 2 months or so! Good day.

Here comes the night...

So the past week or so I've been staying up later than I normally do.  I've been able to get some good night pictures in, see a movie on a parking structure and even see homeless people as well as downtown bad a's walkin around.  While the homeless I deem harmless, I won't press my luck with the others.  It's also an easier time to get to know other people, especially with my picking season work schedule.  Time well spent, especially when I'm only tired when I first get up and then when I get home.

One a side note, my late night antics will continue this week as we're doing the monthly ritual now of going up and looking at the stars while telling some weird stories.  Rough life eh?
