In 2010 I went to a lot of places and was too busy to blog. I even scored "Executive Premiere" status for the first, and what I hope will be the last time. Travels are fun, but I do like to stay home and sit on the couch with my sweetheart and the menagerie. However, I am very grateful I had a peek at the Red Carpet Lounge at Heathrow.
Here's where I went: Memphis, Austin, Chicago, SPAIN (Barcelona, Bilbao, San Sebastian, Oviedo, Santiago De Compostela), PORTUGAL (Porto), Manchester, TN, Minocqua, WI, New York City, back to New York City, back to New York City, back to New York City, DENMARK (Copenhagen), ENGLAND (London), Netherlands (Amsterdam), Portland, OR and a holiday road trip to Sun Lakes, AZ (via Palm Springs to and Bakersfield on return).
It seemed like most of the year was work work work but now that I've highlighted the fun vacations in green -- I'm seeing that I had way more fun than I imagined. I hope my luck continues through the next 365. Happy New Year!

Cafe Au Lait
Ordered frozen (it comes with a big straw), and plop me right in the French Quarter near the guy playing trombone and singing like Louis Armstrong.

Brooklyn
The first night I took the subway to Brooklyn to hang out with Joe. He runs a indie scenester record label now.
Brooklyn at sunset....
The door to Social Registry (and a hundred other art/music n' interesting stuff studios.) It's in an old building that was a pencil factory -- the first company to make pencils with erasers.
Speaking of firsts -- it was the first time I had seen Joe without a beard. Ever! Also, first time he's ever revealed himself as "office guy."
I took Joe out to eat and we discussed the last 15 years -- or longer. I forgot all about that cheese bribe I sent to Homestead Records in a failed attempt to win the entire catalogue in a student radio contest. Catching up with people you've known for a long time is one of the pleasures of getting older.
We spotted this guard dog on the way to the Social Registry/K/Asthmatic Kitty showcase at the Glasslands Gallery.
Jeremy Jay -- on K Records. They sound British so I forgive them for being from L.A.
My new friends Christy & Emily. Before their set, they asked me if I wanted to go drink whiskey and I said "OK!" Joe seemed worried, but they told me all about how they went on a European tour with The Nightingales. The Nightingales! I like Christy & Emily. Check out their amp...
