i really haven't taken advantage of living on the california coast too much in quite a while. when i first moved here, i surfed all the time and regularly went to the beach, but not anymore.
last night we did a very costal thing, we joined andria's sister-in-law Ellen and some of her coworkers at a bonfire at the beach. it was one of those beaches you can drive up on (near Pismo) and just park on the sand and light a fire.
we mostly just sat around, eating awesome clam chowder (in breadbowls, plus i had a corndog, yum) from the Splash Cafe in Pismo. we rolled into a few games kinda similar to "Six Degrees of Kevin Bacon" and kept it rockin with some Marley and even a bit of A Tribe Called Quest.
very mellow, very cool time.
