MONTEREY BY THE WATERFRONT

I was in Monterey last week for a conference. Never having been there, I tried to take in what local culture I could in between sessions. My first night I took a stroll down Fisherman's Wharf, looked at a seal on a buoy and smelled lots of clam chowder. Then I ventured into the nearby section of town that I suspect is the historic district where a small farmer's market was going on. Some guy asked me if I could spare $50, a jab at how tragically white I am I suppose. Then I took in a movie, Heart of Gold the Neil Young concert film (see? tragically white) which was phenomenal, even more so since I was literally the only person in the movie theater.

I have a history with Neil Young's music.

I took a couple photos of a cool building and the Golden State Theatre. Here they are.

Me and the wife moved out from the East coast to live amid the freaks and fancy folks here in Los Angeles, California where the only reality worth a damn is the one in your own mind. Nothing stays the same for long here so we keep our eyeballs moving and do our best to keep up.
