If paynie ever asks you if he can store his inflatable dome at your place, say YES. It packs up really small and hardly takes up any space.

about me
5' 11" and goofy as hell. I know I have a lot of friends, but I really do know just about all of them personally. If you don't know me and we haven't at least written to and fro a few times, please don't be offended if I decline your "friend" invitation.

I live by myself in a loft at The Brewery. It's not a big as "The Red Loft", but I like it a lot. I've been stagnating a little over the past year, but moving here has inspired me to become very productive again.

Hello All! Happy New Year! In my efforts to promote dressing up in costumes as often as possible, I have registered a group for the Doo Dah parade in Pasadena this weekend 1/18/09. We will be called the XXXmas afterparty. See this website for more www.pasadenadoodahparade.info.
All you need is a santa outfit (contact me if you need a costume) and to meet the herd using these instructions:

PARADE DAY:
Sunday, January 18th, 11:30am, Old Pasadena

YOUR ARRIVAL:
The staging area is located on Raymond Avenue, between Holly & Walnut Streets.
Please arrive NO LATER THAN 10:30am.
You may enter off of Walnut Street. Vehicles not in the parade will need to drop off people, props, floats, etc., and find parking outside of the staging area.
Come early, mingle, have fun, take pictures, practice your routines, pose, there will be lots of media on hand.

PARKING:
Parking is available in the following locations:
Some free parking is available north of Walnut Street on Raymond Avenue. Please do not use the church parking lots.
Convenient, reasonably-priced parking is located in the Marriott Hotel structure. The entrance is located on Raymond Avenue just off of Walnut Street as you enter the staging area.

More convenient, reasonable parking is located in the Presbyterian Church structure, located on Holly Street, between Arroyo Parkway and Marengo Avenue (only 1-2 blocks from staging area).

There are many other parking structures in the immediate area, including Union Street, between Raymond Avenue and Fair Oaks Avenue, and on Raymond Avenue between Colorado Blvd. and Holly Street.

Memorial Park Station is a stop on the Pasadena Gold Line, which will take you straight to the staging area.

CHECK-IN:
Check-In will be open from 8:00am. It will be located on the grassy area (Memorial Park) at the side of the staging area on Raymond Street. LOOK FOR THE LIGHTNING BOLT! Only the ENTRY CONTACT should come check-in.

Additional entry fees for more marchers, or brand new entries who appear that morning, will be collected at check-in. The main entry contact person (on the form) will be given parade stickers for every participant in their group, who must wear them so to be visible.

PARADE TIPS:
The Doo Dah Parade has no marching order, so find a place that makes you comfortable. But, remember, it’s first-come-first-serve. If you are concerned about your spot, come early. Think about what is fun in front and behind you.
If you’re a band you’ll want to find a place that’s not in front of or behind another musical group. Entries have been really good at figuring this out!
Please do not throw any hard objects into the crowd. As specially requested by an entry, marshmallows have caused problems to their props, so please avoid them.
Make sure and wear comfortable shoes unless your costume begs for something else! Bring water and snacks if you need to for before the parade, there will be vendors selling coffee and hot chocolate, sodas and hot dogs and soft warm pretzels, not to mention the breakfast noted below.

PANCAKE BREAKFAST:
Take advantage of the Pasadena Senior Center “All-you-can-eat!” Pancake Breakfast. The Senior Center is located at Holly Street and Raymond Avenue (at the staging area) and offers its annual fare of pancakes, eggs, sausage, bacon, eggs, OJ and coffee for $7.00 per person. Breakfast will be served from 8:30am until 11:30am.

SOUVENIRS AVAILABLE:
Official 2009 Pasadena Doo Dah Parade T-shirts can be purchased for $15.00 at the entrance to the Senior Center (corner of Raymond Avenue & Holly Street). Doo Dah pins are for sale for $5.00 and vintage T’s can be purchased for $10.00! When you buy a t-shirt or pin, you are supporting the whole Doo Dah Parade operation, with a percentage also benefiting the humanitarian work of the Lion’s Club of Pasadena, and your support really makes a difference to us, and to others who thank you with good karma points! The shirts will also be sold along the parade route.

OFFICIAL DOO DAH AFTER-PARTY:
Please join us and your fellow participants at the official Doo Dah Wrap Party held at the American Legion Hall located at 179 N. Vinedo Avenue (91107) in east Pasadena (north of Colorado Blvd. between Altadena and San Gabriel). The Legion’s telephone is (626) 792-9938. Don’t miss immortal Doo Dah house band Snotty Scotty & the Hankies and Horses on Astroturf as they entertain us until the cows come home!!


How you can make it!

It was 3:30am on a dark and stormy night.
I awoke and felt the desire for a sip of grapefruit juice.
As I opened the refrigerator door, the light shined out and there
caught in the beam was a little mouse.

We stared at each other for a short moment, neither of us quite sure of what to do.
I grabbed the juice and closed the door .... and the moment passed.
I wasn't going mouse hunting at that early hour. Lucky mousie.

But now, what to do. A normal mousetrap seemed somewhat harsh.
Poison. Nah. Just couldn't go there. So I hit Home Depot.

I never knew there were so many options. Electronic. Clockwork. Spring loaded and mazes.

So I bought a live trap and my little mousie friend will get to live another day.

I will keep you posted.

And while we are on the subject of lucky mice, here's a short film by a friend of mine.
Possibly the best short film ever made.

As you may know, during the run up to the election, I've been spending a little time on some republican groups on FaceBook.

The comment today, blew me away.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Having a gun that is not loaded and is locked away is totally pointless: why even have a gun? Whatcha gonna say when that perp knocks down your door, crawls thru that window: "wait, hold that thought, let me go dig out my gun, unlock it, load it & then you can come in." uh, duh, what? No, I don't brandish my aussalt rifle (yes, I own one - well, OK, a few - along w/ several other long guns & hand guns) on the front lawn & I can certaiinly understand the aversion towards that personality flaw. However, whenever there's a knock at my door, I answer it with a hand gun, locked, loaded & unholstered behind my back. I keep it next to me when I sleep - as well as 2 bulldogs.

Paranoid? No, call it hightened awareness. Aware that the boogy man is all too real.

I love Teddy Roosevelt's saying: speak softly & carry a big stick. It's the idiot that brandishes their gun on their front lawn, thereby telegraphing that they're armed. The "enemy" then knows what he/she is dealing with & can work their way around that.

My 8 year old grandaughter even has a gun. It tickled the hell outa me when my son-in-law told me he bought her one. I've even given thanks to him that he's tought my daughter how to handle a gun, hand guns & long guns.

Yes, I know the arguement that's coming nex: keeping loaded arms away from children. Well, learning self protection, being tought by a caring/learned parent - rather than treating it as though you're guarding them from porn - the reasons & the hows of handling firearms is valuable knowledge. We allow our children to learn how to drive a car - that's OK (even though a car is a deadly weapon & even though more people die from auto accidents than firearms), but not how to handle a gun. It's politically incorrect.

Firearms have always been a part of American history (entire world actually) because of the need for food & protection. My daughter lives in a very remote part of WY & hunting to stock the Winter pantry is SOP for all folks living in these remote regions. As for a town-dweller, there are animals of another kind that would do me harm if they had the chance. And as for fighting off terrorists, well, anyone that does harm to another person is a terrorist.

And why would a person want an assault rifle? To counter other aussalt rifles.

I'm not afraid of death, but I'll be damned if I'm "called home" by another human. That's between me & my God."

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

And this is from a 65 year old grand mother.

Weird.

Paynie.
