White People Can't Dance


I'm glad I'm doing the filming because I can't dance either. Steve, who is trying to eat, is not amused even though it is his birthday. Oh yeah, this video was shot in 2006. We stopped going to Mexico due to the drug wars, violence and it just wasn't fun anymore as all the clubs were empty of partiers.

No Doubt Concert Second Time Around


Last night I saw No Doubt in concert for the second time this year. Just like in May, the venue was the amphitheatre in Chula Vista. But this time I was chosen to get a pit ticket, so I was standing just yards from the stage. Concerts seem much better when you are closer to the stage, standing with others that are just as glad to be there as you are.


The opening band (actually the second band) was Panic! At the Disco. I'm not very familiar with their songs, but they at least sounded good, but I'd prefer to see Paramore again like in May.

The No Doubt show was basically just like the one in May. Same songs, same stage and same awesome videos and lighting effects. However, this time Gwen did not go running through the crowd.


Once again, I broke down and bought a $12 beer or two. Why is beer so much? How gets this money? Well, at least parking is free.


On the way home, our designated driver did a great job of avoiding an accident that happened just in front of us. Some car hit something on I15 north and there was car parts scattered all over, a man and a woman jumped out of their car on the freeway and ran to the car that crashed. We kept going because cars were breaking hard and swerving to avoided the cars stopped in the middle lanes. On the dive back home I passed the scene again and there were ambulances and fire trucks everywhere. There must have been secondary accidents after we drove by. Other that this incident, it was a great evening.
