This past Saturday I trotted down to the Starry Plough in Berkeley to see S.O.L., Monkey, and Los Hooligans. Beforehand I talked to Momser about how my life is changing. She was telling me that it was a grieving process (in more than one way) and that I needed to respect that and allow myself to go through it. She suggested a short wake, where I raised a glass to the life I knew, bid it a fond farewell, and accept its passing. I decided to celebrate life past and present with some very good friends, and, you know, beer.
I took many photos throughout the evening, but unfortunately didn’t remember that I had my
camera until after S.O.L.’s set. I really enjoyed their set, and was really intrigued with how they’ve changed over the years. I hope they play again soon, so I can maybe give it a closer listen.

Some may go, but I think these friends are here to stay.
Fare the well, old life. It was more fun than not while it lasted, and I’ll miss you terribly.

peggy my dear, it was great to see you the other night; i just wish i did not have to gig the next morning and could have really enjoyed the night and drank some time away. until next time, which i hope will not be quite as long.
you are the best!
It was a good show and even better to see you and talk to you, even if it was just for a few minutes.
Chin up Pegs, you’ll be OK soon.
