Took a field trip to the Salton Sea with some of my students.
It was uncannily beautiful at sunset. The water was glass smooth and everything smelled of death.

Thursday, June 11th, 2009What could make this week even more fabulous than its already been?
We went to go see Peaches Monday night to cap off our awesome vacation.
Crowd SURF!
SAY WHAT!
Where would a Peaches concert happen in the middle of nowhere? At Pappy and Harriets in Pioneertown which is located in the high desert of Yucca Valley.
Here’s Peaches singing and dancing on an old timey bar.
and here is Peaches marrying 4 girls on stage.
This was probably one of the best concert’s I’ve ever been to. It was out in the middle of nowhere in a fake old western bar outside in the dirt on a rickety stage next to a BBQ pit. There must have only been about 150 people there and it was AMAZING.
We danced and drank out of mason jars and went hog wild under a full moon. Peaches is such an energetic and exciting performer. I’ve always loved her music and was so psyched to see her in such an intimate setting.
If you’ve never listened to Peaches – its filthy, raunchy, awesomeness. I recommend it highly.
Vacation is all I ever needed…
Wednesday, June 10th, 2009My BFF surprised me with an awesome birthday vacation adventure in Palm Springs this weekend. We stayed at the our favorite place in the world right now: the Ace Hotel.
In short. IT WAS RAD.
Here is a little tour of our room which included an amazing patio with a fireplace and was just steps away from the pool…
There was one strange thing included with the room. It was this giant stick and a piece of raged fabric hung by the bathrobes…I guess for mountain sheep herding?
Hmmmmmm. Well whatever it was for, it was tons of fun. We met really interesting and friendly people, hung out by the pool, played ping pong and drank until our poor little heads exploded.
All in all it was a really reasonably priced place that you just never needed to leave. Oh, and everyone there is GORGEOUS. So – paradise pretty much.
I can’t wait to go back.
Thank you again Golden Mane! BEST BIRTHDAY romantic friend vacation EVER.
