At Oporto with a friend. The lamb ribs were outstanding. Everything else was really good.

Nick Cave & The Bad Seeds -- No More Shall We Part https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=pcX-fGJ32Ks

Made hotel reservations for San Jose Thanksgiving weekend, Chandler Arizona November first, and dinner reservations at Commander's Palace and Brennans for mid December in NOLA. Should be interesting next couple of months in a good way.

Good enough for Stretch = good enough for me.

All of them, if I'm lucky.

Yes, that looks fantastic.

Wow, that looks delicious Shelly.

Well obviously they are on a mostly latitudinal track, Houston is just too far East. Maybe they're following ley lines?

Got this garden fresh salsa from the DOTU a while back, and had when fresh .... Quite amazing, and many thanks, Al.

Al Di Meola - Elegant Gypsy Getting ready for Thursday Night in San Francisco

I'll go if Mikey goes. Otherwise it'll be The Wicker Man all over again.

So the Islay Ferry actually goes out of Kennacraig - on the Mull of Kintyre (https://youtu.be/AcZVRiB9AQk) It is a trek to get from Glasgow to the Ferry - 2.5 hours. The Early ferry run would be a stretch. (oh and you can fly) Campbeltown (Springer and the other springer family beverages) is about an hour down the road from the ferry dock. So it maybe possible to head from Glasgow - play around - end up in Campbeltown for fun. Either stay down there - or catch the late ferry over to Islay. Note - if Islay is on the table book accommodations early, it is a small and popular isle, If the group is big enough I would say a house or cabin. Otherwise there are accommodations in Bowmore and Port Ellen that can work, (Lochside Hotel has a nice whisky bar) I love the highland area as well around Aberlour and Rothes (but that is another story all together)

sounds like Faith No More and Incubus thrown in to a blender dig it

And to begin the coming onslaught of photos from my Colorado trip:

Lamb of God - VII: Sturm Und Drang

Not as fancy or visually stimulating, but very satisfying, was my Popeye Egg made with Mikey's Dense Wheat bread.

Food with non HC friends

For me it'd be easier to attend than anything in the US. Color me interested
