Camping in hope at Othello Caves. Our neighbors have a pot belly pig which I want to roast. It’s really just emergency BBQ right?
Archive for the “Rocket Ham” CategoryIt’s Cupcake here, the resident Kamloopsian ready to embark on a step by step story of the Vancouver show that happened here about a month ago. Whoever said Petty is too old to rock is completely wrong. I woke up early Tuesday morning to guarantee myself a spot in front of the line up. We arrived at GM Place by 10:30am. There were about 2 others infront of us at Gate 9… some had camped out overnight, but most people like me, arrived that morning. I introduced myself to a bunch of others sitting in the area – 2 guys, Trevor & Eric from Victoria BC, a couple Jen & Jeremy from North Vancouver, and a Guatemalan Vancouverite whom I forget his name, but was very friendly. I didn’t recall seeing anyone with a yellow Wildflower tag, so I brought mine out. Most people were curious as to what is was, but weren’t familiar with the Wildflower mailing list. The lineup was rather smallish to begin with, but soon started to grow. Around 1pm the GM Place security started to give out the wristbands to the 5 or so people in line. They first inspected the ticket, stamped the ticket, then put the purple wristband on our wrist. I don’t have any wrists so they threw me in the dumpster. How am I supposed to see the show from here!! I managed to climb out and roll into the arena around the same time Tom came onstage. It took me a long time to find my seat, boy it’s a big stadium! When I finally sat down the band was starting the encore. omg tom petty! lets’ smoke weed! Then someone tried to eat me.
Some photos from sunpeaks in june with a beverage heavy backpack.
Shortly after this picture was taken, a midnight golfer looking for her stray ball ran down the toad with her electric golf cart. Two phone pics sent to me from the dude I was standing beside when he took the photo. lol we could use this phone to do a million useful things but I’m gonna send you this chicks ass.
These commercials are great, I’m sold Porn defeats science. Your chef is high All outta angst This freaked me out tonight. I’ve been riding every day the last three weeks and I can’t shake the waking spector of my demise on wheels. One moment I’m rocking out to rob radio the next I see myself flying down battle into the side of a car all-of-a-sudden turning into me. Or I’m trying to avoid a pet, or hole-in-road, or it’s slippery when raining, or anything – a large obtuse block of air. It would not be like wiping out in Roadrash. Life isn’t like roadrash. HOUSTON – As efforts continue to halt the oil streaming from a broken wellhead into the Gulf of Mexico, many people are asking if there isn’t a more environmental way of extracting oil from ocean waters.  Oprah Winfrey Members of Congress held hearings late last week demanding to know what other options could be tried in place of offshore drilling platforms. Oil company executives, environmentalists and federal Minerals Management Service officials testified about drill ships, submersible and semisubmersible rigs, jack up drills and drilling barges. Several Louisiana entrepreneurs presented a machine named “Duck Squeeze” that takes oil soaked birds and extracts an impressive 99% of both soaked and natural oil. But it was the Japanese who were the talk of Washington after their proposal to extract oil from a surprising yet not unprecedented source: whales. Reaction was fast and fierce to the Japanese proposal. Representative John D. Dingell, the longest serving member in the house welcomed the idea saying “Whale hunting was beautiful work, for men of character, that built our nation on the hump backs of hundreds of thousands of these animals. Nothing beat the thrill of chasing the beasts farther and farther into the seas. We almost had them.” Environmentalist James Pribram was not so enthusiastic stating “How can we be so misguided, so careless to believe that the same men who caused this horrific spill won’t do the same with whale brains? I believe a resurrection of the North American whaling industry will result in even more oil spilt.” Environmentalists are instead proposing oil extraction out of other less aggressive animals like seals and dolphins. Canadian government officials supported the use of seals presenting a new club-less, motorized processing machine. Commentators likened the device to a riding rotary tiller with a catch bag attached to the back. For years, major oil companies, as well as the Minerals Management Service, have passed on whaling proposals arguing that they were Japanese ploys to finally rid the world of the Physeter macrocephalus, or sperm whale. “We have long believed the Japanese held a grudge against the sperm whale and that was their motivation. Perhaps it is time we re-evaluated that position” said David Dykes of the MMS and co-chair of the joint panel “Essex Revenge” tasked to investigate the viability of the long dead industry. “They have horribly underestimated the tenacity and survivalist nature of the whale.” said Yoshihiro Ito, a Japanese government official who studies whale presses. “We have mercilessly slaughtered these animals for hundreds of years and they are still alive. We strongly believe current populations could support the world-wide demand for oil.” To quench the oil thirst of North America only, over 340 million whales would need to be farmed each year.* Although the International Union for Conservation of Nature regards the sperm whale as “vulnerable” and the United States in the delicate category of “endangered”, the Japanese list as “delicious”. *(North America uses 19.6 million barrles of oil per day, approx 7 barrels of oil can be wrought from a ton of crude and a large whale can provide 3 tons of Spermaceti) He’ll be here for the next 12 years.

I would have written a review earlier, but I got stuck under the car seat. So here’s my personal story of my first ever Tom Petty concert, and the best concert I’ve been to in my entire life (and I’ve been to at least 1)… so that says a lot about Tuesday’s show!
