morst's PITOWN 2008 (pt 1)
Wednesday, Sept 10, 2008: Off to California for what has become my favorite annual ritual - The Cracker & Camper Van Beethoven campout in Pioneertown! Flew from Madison into Anaheim and was picked up at John Wayne field by Bethdalena, who took me over to Newport Beach, to the home of "The Host" - which would be Glenn. His beach house had been a bit of a raging bash as the site of my 2007 arrival, but when I rolled in for the 2008 fest, it was quite calm, as the early arrivals had already taken off for the desert. Guess we can fast forward over the rest of Wednesday, as it was very relaxing and I didn't take any photos once I arrived in California.

Bethdalena and I were ready to go pretty early, and the party was not in Newport Beach at that point, so we got going, and pretty soon. . .
Oh look, we're almost there! Cool!
YEP! Definitely the right place!

YEP! Definitely the right place!As long as it's taken me to get this far, I'll call this part 1, and see if I can get the next parts rolling really soon. In the meantime, if you click on the photos, you can go to my Picasa photo album and see where I'm going with this!
