Putting The Band Back Together!~

Mail box out side the bands old house in Logan, UT (still has CBE on it)

After an invite from a former venue, Cinnamon Brown and the Eskimos are proud to announce after a 4 year break a possible reunion show tentative for April 2010. We are still finalizing the line up, but I will keep everyone updated on the dates and location of the two night engagement. I am soooooo Stoked!

Logan and the latest "True Aggie"

During our trip we took Sienna up to Utah State and I made sure she became a "True Aggie" so no evil college kid can try and bestow that right (as wells as to give her some true blue Aggie pride so she does not end up being one of those Prove kids). She had a great time on Grandma Jo's pink boat and made sure to tell my mom to be careful.

Jamming with Chris in Logan

This past weekend the family went up to Utah for Megan to run the SLC Half Marathon. While I did not partake in the run I did get together with former CBE band mate Chris and play. It was so much fun to play with Chris again!

The Kido and The HooSeee

Done with Horse Time

The the HooSeee

Since Christmas the frog has been been all about horses. She got the horse movie Spirit for her birthday and has watched it about 5,000 time. About once a week we take her to a park by our house where they break wild horses and she loves it. The top picture is her running after the big brown mule in the picture sneezed on her. She was not all that cool with horse nasal discharge.

Pool Table Redemption

Those of you who know me well know that I enjoy moving people about as much as I would enjoy having my eye burned out with a soldering iron (that does not mean I wont help when people need it, I just really do not enjoy it). Last Friday I got a call that a lady down the road had to be out of her place and had no help, so dragging my feet went to help. Once I got there I was feeling pretty good about the move because she really did need help. So I asked her if she needed help breaking down the pool table, and she said, "do you want it." Well shame on me for for having a bad attitude. We had new felt put on this weekend and are good to go. Moral of the story.....Karma is a good thing......

2nd Trip to Scotty's Castle

Eureka Gold Mine (Death Valley, CA)

My Dad next to the ore cart tracks

My Dad and the Kido at Sea Level

After a stressful couple weeks I decided to take the day off, and with my dad in town I had a prefect reason to go explore a couple old mining camps around death valley. We had a great time and found some really cool places. The frog was a champ and during the tour of Scotty's Castle told me that's where a princess would live. The mines where really in really good condition, if you want to read up on them here are the links. http://home.earthlink.net/~ghosttowns/dv/dvwest/dvwest.htm (its the first post)

The Snow Ball That Tried To Kill Me

I think I may be on my way out! Between Cars driving into restaurants and all the other crazy stuff that's happened lately this one is just par for the course. So there I was minding my own business listening to Don Ho's greatest hits and driving from Reno to Sacramento, when a two foot by two foot chunk of snow fell off the overpass and smashed the passenger side of my windshield. I about crapped my pants!!!!! It was so loud my ears were ringing all the rest of that day. If any of you have any suggestions on how I can get my luck back I would greatly appreciate it.
