Soooooo....what's everyone doing for NYE?
Forums:
I have usually done the music / party thing, or just fizzled early and went to bed so i could get some morning surf. This year I gave in and committed to doing some sort of family activity with the Mrs and my 13 year old daughter. I really have no idea what activity that might be. I did however, get a pass to go to the Chris Robinson Brotherhood show at TXR on the 30th. Anyone else going? I'm curious what the rest of you have in mind for NYE? Feel free to chime in about shows, that's always interesting, but what do families do besides watch NYE festivities on the TV? I'm lookin for an idea or two.

Well- yes, that is a great idea.
I'm sure you'll have a great time.
Last time we did that (4 yrs ago) it ran me $1,800 for a two dayer.
The iphone and guitar presents i kicked down for xmas killed that budget though.

My NYE plan is to hang out with some good old friends at their place on the Central Coast and watch the JRAD webcast. Because it's an east coast show, I'll probably be knocked out by midnight, or not much after...

I've worked (until 10P) the last 5 years, and had to deal w/getting out of midtown.
Then gone to a low-key (more about the food than the party) party.
That's also off this year (hosts travelling, I think).
So we don't know.
Can one couch-tour via Roku? (Just installed it.)

Hey Treeflo!
Hey Treeflo!
I'll be in a similar boat, close to your shores. I'll be down at my Mom's house with my 13 y.o. boy, hiking at least 4 of 5 days. So, I may be celebrating NYE flat on my back.
If the weather's nice, it would be cool to watch the final sunset of 2016 dip into the Pacific Ocean (I'm not necessarily planning to see the sun rise on 01/01/17).
I wouldn't be surprised if we just ate pizza and watched a movie. Is there still a bowling alley, like Del Monte lanes? Is that what it was called? Or something entertaining at Cannery Row? Maybe break-into Dennis the Menace Park?
Hey Timmy: When I was a kid, we used to get together with 4-5 families to essentially hold an annual "board game Olympics." There were plenty of games and winners were tallied on a form by family to see who won an old Kiwanis trophy, which was brought back and passed on to the next winner each year. Those were fun times.
I'll be watching this thread with interest...

Re Zero Reunion.
Re Zero Reunion.
Three weeks ago there was a mini-reunion of Zero at the Bobby Vega Bday Bash at Sweetwater.
It was simply the core-four; Steve, Bobby, Greg and Pete - with an opening go at "Catalina," that featured Martine Fiero's Daughter on vocals.
I cap'd a somewhat shakey (at first) vid of this but it was probably the weakest song of the mini-set in terms of "lift-off." The rest of the set had that factor.
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=hvq9MReJ8bs
I don't expect any sax but I've heard a rumor that the trumpeter (who's name escapes me) from the earliest iteration of the band (that I first saw at the Blue Moon Saloon on Haight Street in 1986) may be there.
Kimock Site says this:
The show features co-founders Steve Kimock & Greg Anton with Bobby Vega, Pete Sears, and special guests that will include ZERO family.

Friends from Maryland coming
Friends from Maryland coming up and we are going to DSO @ Electric Factory, it is only 25 mins away and I have all their jam and cookies all bagged up and ready for delivery :). I went last year and it was wonderful, they had fantasy type stiltwalkers cruisin thru the crowd during the show and other dancers on side of stage. They were all in white and silver, shimmering and glittering everyone as they walked thru the masses. It was very cool, and this year the theme is "What a Long Strange Trip it's Been"...;)
There was also this really cool wishing tree, and you wrote your wishes and thoughts on a paper strip and then it was hung on the tree for new years.

Hi Toreup- good to see you
Hi Toreup- good to see you last week at the Luther show. Apparently you made it home ok. Good luck with your ticket swapping and hope to see you again friday.
Jay- thx for the hello from Seattle and the well wishes.
Mr Timpane~ its been real nice in Carmel lately (i live there) and an overnighter will almost certainly be a romantic getaway. You may want to reconsider the Big Sur drive & Dinner though. The single lane road there has been heinous lately, with tons of holiday tourists jamming the road. The restaurants are super expensive, crowded and food sucks for the most part. Carmel has some excellent restuarants: Luca, la Ballena, Dametra & Mundaka to name a few. I would suggest sticking to Carmel, at least near by, walking the beach, window shopping, dining, etc. and not getting your hackles up sitting in traffic all day for an overcrowded Big Sur experience. Just my 2 cents worth. However you roll- welcome & enjoy.

I love Catalina (the song)
partly felt rob penned some songs for zero that could've easily been damn fine dead songs, that being one of them. alas, the anton crew did them justice.
the maritime hall show from november tenth two-thousand has a particularly good version of catalina.

MrTimpane- my phriends post
MrTimpane- my phriends post on FB this morning re: Big Sur Traffic mess. Was followed by many other complaints.
I left River Inn and the girlfriends at 4:30 pm, and did not get home until 6:30. I cannot describe how terribly nuts it was out there, particularly at the entrance to Sycamore Canyon, and on both sides of the road WAY up and down, as well as the same cluster **** at JPB. Enough is enough. No more advertising allowed, no more travel stories about this place. Take us off the map, please.
just so i warned you....
