Fiesta Hermosa and more















another beautiful day at the beach.   the Fiesta Hermosa started yesterday but the band i wanted to see played from 11am to 2pm today so i took the bus and then skated to Hermosa Beach to see Pretzel Logic, "your Steely Dan revue".  they were excellent as always.  after their final set, i skated up to Manhattan Beach to see/hear a very talented singer/guitar player named David Aldo.  he has a very beautiful voice. not sure why there wasn't more people listening to him. he covered some favorite singers of mine as well as singing some of his one that were quite good.  after he finished i went back to the Manhattan Beach pier area to see some beach volleyball before skating back to Hermosa to see Space Oddity, a David Bowie tribute band.  they were fun and a big crowd favorite. i left after a few songs as i still needed to skate back to Redondo Beach and catch the bus home.  the blue sky began turning gray around 4pm.  that's some of the highlights from this Labor Day Weekend sunday.  the last day of august has almost come and gone and september will be here soon. tomorrow, officially my 3-month vacation starts. more about that as the days go by.
