"Live from the Road" #1 - Barney's Beanery

[cooksterz]

i love the dark lighting and the unique spot!

[kenrg]

@cooksterz It's a great place - I just about lived there in my early 20's (no comment about just how long ago that was).

[musosf]

What a fun place. We two teetotalers (Curt and I) had just as much fun as the toasties. It sucked not to be drinking (though in retrospect, quite wise...says Jaundice Boy) but there's never a dull moment around you guys.

[kenrg]

@musosf Barney's is a place where, even though it didn't quite meet up with my memory of how great it "was back in the day," still doesn't let me down. Of course, the group we were with helped.

[HarveyEspatchelowe]

Man, I am a little concerned about starting-out a road trip at a beanery. How many guys per car?

[kenrg]

@HarveyEspatchelowe LMAO - We started with seven guys, split 3 and 4 per car - We finished with five guys in one car. But the beanery was Saturday night, and we didn't really hit the road till Monday morning ;^)

Fun Fun Fun...;0)

[ralfonzo83]

Red light? Looks like fun ;)

[kenrg]

@ralfonzo83 Red light? No, there was no red light. We were just out in the sun all day...

[fehquig]

Let the fun begin!

[kenrg]

@fehquig and the good times roll!

[1DRock37167]

[kenrg]

[Blargaldalien]

Hello,Ken.

A Beanery? I was hoping for a fart soundtrack in the background.

Lloks like a fun combination,beer and and beans...

[kenrg]

@Blargaldalien The farting video would have had to be shot overnight, back in the hotel... Perhaps tonight's check-in...

[Blargaldalien]

@Blargaldalien Listening forwards for it!

[bearchay889]

Have fun don't drink nomore or noless don't get caught on camera in a dress.

[kenrg]

@bearchay889 I'll try not to get caught, but to do the catching - how's that?

[bearchay889]

@kenrg Haha i don't know it sounded good at the time.

[Blizzeekitty]

I shall be tuned in! :D

[kenrg]

@Blizzeekitty Thanks!

[MrRandomWritings]

I almost feel a song coming on - where are Canned Heat when you need them?

[kenrg]

@MrRandomWritings Goin' up the country? ... gotta get away...

[audionautix]

mmmm....video vlogging. You let someone say, "too much beer can be a BAD thing" and you didn't edit that out?

[kenrg]

@audionautix I didn't even catch that - too much beer!

[blackturtleshow]

Sounds like an enjoyable trip! Besides restaurants, wineries, and bars, what are the main sites to be visited? Museums? Parks? Beaches?

[kenrg]

@blackturtleshow Beaches, piers... Hearst Castle, Alcatraz... And more pubs, apparently...

[PappyStu]

No drinking and driving or is that vlogging? I forget... VBG

[kenrg]

@PappyStu Don't worry - We wait a full hour between pitchers of beer and hundred mile journeys...

[thizizliz]

You guys are going to have SO much fun! what a great trip.

[kenrg]

@thizizliz Yes - But where were you yesterday? We were hoping to see you in Santa Monica!

[thizizliz]

@kenrg I had planned to come and really wanted to, but my granddaughter earned a special treat and requested our presence. As lovely as you all are, she gets first dibs. I'm bummed because I so wanted to meet you but who can turn down a sweet 4 year old?

[GreatGig1]

It's always so fun to see the male bonding...:-) Looks like everyone is having a great time with much more on it's way! :-)

[kenrg]

@GreatGig1 Much more.. #2 is processing right now... I'll try to keep each daily update short and vary them a little ;^)

[OhCurt]

Red is a good color for the typically blue Frozen Ghost.

Oddly enough, Gary doesn't look that different here.

[kenrg]

@OhCurt Yes, Anakin - the sun is very strong with that one.
