Foxtail Somersault LIVE in Los Angeles, CA

I took this picture on Saturday May 28, 2011 in Los Angeles, California. The band is Foxtail Somersault from San Francisco, CA.

Yes, I Like Haikus (Part 2)

While researching some topics to put on my blog tonight I came across some haikus I wrote in 1985 and 1998. If you saw my haiku entry in February 2008 you saw my romantic haikus. The ones I will post tonight are going to be non-romantic haikus. Enjoy!
