Monday GET THE LED OUT “When the Levee Breaks” is a country blues song written and first recorded by Memphis Minnie and Kansas Joe McCoy in 1929. The lyrics reflect experiences during the upheaval caused by the Great Mississippi Flood of 1927. #whentheleveebreaks #gettheledout #ledzeppelin #memphisminnie #kansasjoemccoy #robertplant #jimmypage

ME: The Happy Pils went well with Gin Rummy on a warm SoCal night. UNTAPPD: A nod to the traditional Pilsners of Germany with a bit of heavy handedness. Made our way, unfiltered, and with a blend of all German grown hops-Hallertauer Mittlefreuh, Hersbrucker, and Tettnanger. @hopsaintbrewco #donthappentwice #happypils #hopsaintbrewery #hopsaintbrewingco #kennychesney

Here’s another beer I tried on the Vashon VQ… UNTAPPD: Celebrating the release of Black Punk Now, a new book co-edited by James Spooner, Black Punk Weekend features live music and an impactful collection of Black Punk films including the seminal documentary Afro-Punk. We are proud to support the music, culture and activism within the black (and often isolated) punk community with this light, hoppy, crushable IPA.

Oscar the Bird King - Vashon Island, Washington
Way of the Bird King
He swam here from the island, where his momma once had birthed him
He walked a cross the mountains till his giant feet was Hurting
He spoke a crow and little girl, the Orca he heard him sing
He used to be a little troll, now Oscar is The Bird king. There are over 100 Dambo troll sculptures across the world. #doingweirdshitwithles #lesisthebest #totallycool #oscarthebirdking #dambotrolls #dambosculptures #vashonisland #thomasdambotrolls #thomasdamb #hithemall

Sunday SoCal QuikStart… ME: One of the best breweries I’ve been to. Best views of Ventura coast and the sunsets are amazing. Plus, they show the Dodgers. Ventura Highwey Mexican Lager is my favorite. ABOUT BREWERY: A former auto-mechanic shop turned classic Ventura brewery. Our buildout and beer philosophy to “Shift Perception” share similar aspirations. Start with a strong historical foundation. Apply some modern-day innovation. And, to really make people take notice, rev up the creativity. Great experiences complemented with great beer. Our greatest passions lie with brewing and drinking clean and balanced lagers and hop-forward ales. Because we feel nothing goes better than views of the water, time with friends, or a night in the garage like a quintessential California coast beer. Why make the trip? Any seat in our taproom puts you front and center of the beer-making experience. Whatever you’re eying to drink, we got you covered with a wide variety of makes and styles on tap. We scaled up the brewhouse to a 30 barrel system designed to make the highest quality beer possible. Our second brewhouse is a 5 barrel playground for experimentation, education, and limited releases. #transmissionbrewing #foglights #greatspot #bestsunsetinventura #bestsunset #dodgers

After 33 years of marriage, she can still say a few words and take me back to dancing on a table to “You’re The One That I Want” (at a college party). How does she do that? #33yearsofmarriage #lovemygirl #birkenstock
