Eating Blackberries from the vine to Richard Devine

Eating Blackberries from the vine to Richard Devine...

The day was beautiful, blue skies, warm weather and it encouraged us to take the top off the Jeep. We also knew that it could be cold, and so we made sure to bring warm clothes, we were heading to the beach, in hopes to meet up with a party that was suppose to go off at Pigeon Point. We drove through the mountains, or a rolling forest that was beautiful, we stopped along the way and ate black berries off a huge path that was growing along side the road. It took me right back to my childhood, I saw the huge patch, and I told the driver to stop. I got a bag and started to pick and eat berries right there off the side of the road. It was beautiful, it was simple, and it was just like I was 11 picking blackberries in the back. This was the highlight of my day, I thought, but we weren’t even to the beach yet. After about an hour of winding roads we found our way to Hwy 1 and we found our beach. First checking out the Pigeon Point light house, the historical photographs and navigating the tourist double fisting cameras and cell phones. We moved on to check the beach party and we spotted a U-Haul trailer, and I knew it was the sound; we sat and chilled for a moment, to see whom may be around. We finally saw a couple guy walk up to the trailer and they started to move down some speakers. When we made it down to the beach they had it all set up, it was pimp with a covered dj area, they were about to start setting up. I was drawing on the beach, it was cloudy and I decided to call the sun, and I drew the symbols calling her out to me. I started to stroll the beach, when I see this cop, a California Ranger to be exact. And he’s checking out the area, he’s looking to see whats up with this party. He finally approaches them and talks to them, the results are not good. They had just got down the last speaker, they had so much stuff, down there and they had to move it and get it out of there. It was a bummer but my first beach party canceled by a State Ranger…such is life, we decided to go romping and try to find some jeeping roads. We went into and through the most beautiful forest, traveling on some very small roads, into the middle of these great county and state parks, but all the off-road roads were closed. We at least got to take the scenic way back to town, and a good thing we did, because we ended up making a fabulous dinner and then heading to a party in the city San Francisco. We went to a gallery that was having Richard Devine play. I have never seen him life, but love his music, it’s so crunchy and fuck its great to dance to. I got off hard core dancing almost African style to this experimental electronic music. I was dripping of sweat; my dress broke from my wild arm movements and had to be retied. It was great and even better the VJ had video taped me and had been remixing me with his visuals live. So fun, you bet I’m gonna get those visuals; I got to see this video of my freakE dance to Richards Electronic freaking Noise. We drove back from the gallery in the Jeep and it was so nice to feel the wind cool my body with a swift massage of cool air. Ahhhh the day was incredible, and I got to rock my shizz in San Fran 2 Devine….Ohhh Yeah! Thanks Richard…!
