baldwin boogie

so, the other night i was hanging out with tom and he had some cool tunes playing on the stereo. who is this i asked. "baldwin brothers," he said.

two years ago i went to a poi show at house of blues in l.a. so stoked to see poi in all its glory. but the unknown benefit of that show were the two opening acts. first the baldwin brothers and then jack johnson, both of whom i'd never heard before. jack became all the rage here on the west coast (he was practically the music god of the cal poly female population for a solid year). i never heard much more about the badlwins, but i never forgot them. they were so groovin and so nice and mellow and fun and funky. perfect dance music.

so it was cool to be reminded about them at tom's. picked up "cooking with lasers" at lunch and now i'm boogying in my seat before the next meeting.

the weather is still unbearably beautiful here, though we have 50% chance of rain for tomorrow. and i cross my fingers.

it's not that i don't love this weather. i love it. it's awesome. but there is a sunflower blooming in our side yard. the entire walk from my house to downtown is one big fragrant orange blossom. it smells like spring and looks like summer. and it's not even february yet.
