One of the benefits of alcohol is that those "lowered inhibitions" can also be revelatory. I was so stressed out yesterday and so while Darren and I were hanging in the speakeasy we talked and talked and figured out a solution for dealing with this unforeseen bathroom remodel and then today he totally cleaned the studio so our disruption won't be so invasive and I feel a million times better about it. 

Today while watching the Seahawks v Vikings game (I've ended by boycott of the NFL in light of the evolution of their BLM stance which is far from perfect, but change is good,) they played Phantogram as bumper music and it made me realize that I forgot to share about the Cali Love Fest, and then Lou Niles sent me info about the Oceanside Culture Fest which is coming next weekend, so that's below, too. 
Lastly, I know we all have COVID-fatigue, but cases are seriously increasing all over the world and starting to uptick in San Diego. Don't let your guard down because none of us are getting compassionate use of any 'miracle' cures.
