scenes from Los Angeles
As promised, here are pictures from last weekend!
We all met up at Redondo Beach Marina at 5 AM, then headed down to the fishing boat, the Spitfire. Here, Eric is securing his rod.
Time to fish. My good buddy Alan Bise came all the way from Cleveland to be with us. Thanks dude!
In true dramatic form, David reels in a big one!
The Grand Poobah, Master of Ceremonies, and all-around-Good-Time-Charlie, Mr. Jim Dooley -- the mastermind who put this whole plan into action.
We were reeling in fish like CRAZY. According to the boat log, we caught 110 sand bass and 9 barracuda! Here's Kaz and his biggest sand bass...
... and here's Ceiri and the Captain with one of Ceiri's barracuda...
... but my buddy Brandon was more fond of the bait.
By about 1:30 PM, we'd all bagged our legal limit, so it was time to chill. Here's Ernie Lee (who co-wrote "Swarm" with me) and Kit Casey (who co-wrote "Slow Decay")...
... and here's David and Eric, hard at work on "Paradise Lost".
The whole afternoon, we had visits from Pelicans and Seagulls. There were also a few Sea Lions who followed after us, snacking on the extra bait that was thrown into the water.
David managed to pull in a gorgeous Bonita Tuna, so the crew sliced it up that instant and we at it like sushi. Truly incredible.
The big group shot: Al, Tim, Ernie, Brandon, Kit, D, me, King Dooley, Kaz, Dread Lord Whitacre, and Ceiri.
That night a few more people came over to Dooley's place and we staged a full-blown Texas Hold-Em tournament... I managed to make it to the final 5...
... along with the one woman cool enough to hang with the guys, Angie C (who also co-wrote "Vox Angeli" with me).
Evidently, Kit didn't like me taking pictures of his wife. That's the last thing I remember about the evening...
