Bad Camera Setting, bummer

Ok OK   It's nothing like going on a mini vacation, taking 200 pictures then realizing the aperture is screwed up.   I should have left the lens cap on, then at least I wouldn't have "kind of" seen the pics.
We stayed in a tiny little hotel in Camarillo, when I woke up in the morning this is what was parked next to us. 

 I wanted to see it do that Hoppy thing but the owners didn't seem like the type to turn on the Hydraulics for some out of state redhead.  Also, Bobby said he needed coffee before dealing with gangsters....so I,let it go.
I went to the Thousand Oaks Botanical Walk

Went to Indie West Fest...and saw lots of naturalized forms of the natives


The best part was the Santa Monica Pier, because there was nothing stressful or "things" we needed to do.


I still didn't get to go to Ikea, because Bobby kept saying it was at least 2 hours from where we were...THEN some nice girl said to me, "you know....it's only about 30 minutes away?"  I could have killed him, but because I was on vacation and it was his little shindig, I let it slide....One more year without Ikea won't kill me.

Most of the pictures were at a poor setting so nothing came out...that and I looked fat.  
So I'll see if I can edit them and show some.
I really must learn to use my camera

Electric Sister First Indie West Band

All Right...If you guys like ol skool Rock n Roll (ie AC/DC, Black Sabbath, Iggy Pop etc...)
check these guys out.
Great show.
So happy to have met these guys and their band of Hooligans, hope they come to Colorado soon
Let me tell you, these guys lit up the last part of Indie West Fest and were quite the goofballs (in a great way) too.
Check out their Music on Myspace
