Vampiresa mujer and the teardrop table
still awaiting our airstream to finish up at the service center. since we sold our teardrop trailer to partially fund the new airstream, I made a teardrop UNO game table to go inside the airstream.
I polished a vintage herman miller aluminum group base designed by charles and ray eames and made the top myself with scrap left over from other projects.
(I see the current version has slightly different legs, I prefer the original)

I know I've written on how much we enjoy $1.99 fish taco monday night. we have expanded on this outing to make it there before 7pm and also partake of the free happy hour food buffet! I know, it seems too good to be true. I assure you it is all true; free food, $2 pints and $1.99 fish tacos big enough to choke a horse.
#1 son has decided he doesn't like fish tacos. so we get a $2 happy hour priced Fireman's #4 (beer) and then get him tamales and taquitos from the free buffet. EVERYBODY HAPPY!
end result is that we are getting more food AND quality locally brewed beer and still being extremely frugal.
we surely did enjoy jonathan richman at the parish this past wednesday night. he started at about 9 pm so us school night parents were able to stay for the whole show and still find ourselvs in bed with lights out before 11 pm. (sorry the pic above is so bad, iphone camera feature not so good at finding correct exposure in low/mixed lighting situations)
the crowd was respectful and appreciative while also being enthusiastic. he did honor a request to play vampire girl from his old 70's band THE MODERN LOVERS. jonathan required that the audience sing along "c'mon, it was YOU GUYS that asked for the song" at the end he had a great deal of applause and that prompted him to expand on the theme, "if you liked that so much in english, you should hear how it sounds different in spanish!". he repeated entire the song in spanish. I was not familiar with the song but we had a good laugh ,at the line, "she cooked beans, she cooked rice, she took a ritual sacrifice." I laughed at both the english and spanish version.
he also gave us two versions of the lovers are here and they are full of sweat. one in english and the second in french.
he closed the evening with the LEONARD COHEN song "here it is"
he's using those teeth to enjoy pizza crust. he's wearing a onesie we purchased for the daughter when we were in playa de carmen to celebrate her 1st birthday. she wore it till she was about 2 yo. he's 6 months and it fits him perfectly.
