My Summer Vacation by Bob

Remember when you were a kid and returned to school after summer? Remember how you had to give a presentation on what you did over summer? Well, it was probably an excuse for your teacher to phone in the first day of class so they could shake off their hangover and get their business together after a long summer of procrastinating.

In the case of this blog, we've for passed procrastination and have been phoning in doing anything with the blog at all. So I'm going to phone in our lack of effort by doing a 'My Summer Vacation Story'. Replace 'Summer' for 'The Last Year and a Half.' Then replace 'Story' with 'Cell Phone Photos with Captions'.

Budweisers at Walker's

Shrimp Scampi at Big Nick's

Tim Barry at Alex's Bar

Breakfast Burrito and Corona at some restaurant in Sedona, AZ

Frosty beers at a really old bar in Jerome, AZ

Spirit Shirts purchased in Sedona, AZ

Chili and Cheddar at Pacific Diner in San Pedro

We didn't eat here, but I heard the portions are small

We saw The Gaslight Anthem. Mainly because Tim Barry was opening, but Gaslight turned out to be a great show

Fartbarf played in downtown San Pedro. You can see a video here.

The wall-o-boots at Robert's Western World in Nashville, TN

Tots and a dog at The Dog of Nashville

Two Cow Garage killing it at the Basement in Nashville, TN

Glossary was epic too. Probably one of my top 5 live shows.

Al enjoying her supper at The Loveless Cafe. This place was amazing. Really off the beaten path in Tennessee.

Home of the best biscuits I have ever had. If you don't believe me, you better book a flight.

Turkey, fried green tomatoes and mac and cheese / Pork, sweet potatoes and hush puppies.

Faith No More at the Palladium.

It seemed like they never broke up...

The presentation was better than the flavor. Some chain restaurant.

Dogs, a Mexican Coke and a Mexican Pepsi at the Corner Store in San Pedro.

Old Crow Medicine Show playing in 'Pedro. I spent most of my time at the beer tent since I wouldn't be able to see anything either way.

Food trucks a been comin' to 'Pedro...

... Maybe we'll write about it.

That's a hell of a Monte Cristo. Rex's in San Pedro.

Niko's in San Pedro now has a Greek section in their menu. The above was delicious.

The Pine Hill Haints played on the Rocket Boat in Long Beach. It was crowded and the boat did not rocket.

So that was what happened the whole time we weren't writing. Nothing more, nothing less. We are planning on bringing back normal stories, recipes, bands, adventures, etc., etc., etc., so keep yer eyes peeled.
