2013 Blasters Concert at the Epic Lounge in Downey

We went and saw our long-time neighbors performing

live in their hometown.  The Blasters live a few doors from

me since I was 10 years old, but I never saw them until April 2013.

It was a fun concert, with some good bluesy rock and roll.

I have to say, as much as I enjoyed them, I had more fun

watching their warm-up act, the California Feetwarmers.

These guys play private parties and they play restaurants

and lounges here in LA on weekends.  Check 'em out:

2013 Spring Camporee

Here are the Townsends, some of our campers at this semi-annual event.  

The rigors of leadership take a real toll (not to mention getting no

sleep thanks to rowdy scouts who talk all night does not help).

Rocio's Mole de los Dioses

I'm not normally a food photographer, but I'll take this opportunity

to plug an establishment which is worthy of the share.  Pictured above

is the Tri-Tip Mole, one of the several types available.

Andrea's meal was shrimp something or other, beautiful and delicious.

These pics were taken in April of 2013, and unfortunately the place is under

new management (Rocio, the chef, is no longer in the picture).

It's a shame; our last visit was not quite the same.  Nonetheless,

if you are interested in some pre-columbian Mexican food,

which is nothing like the traditional burrito/taco/enchilada-type stuff,

it's still a good restaurant with good value.
