Adventure Weekend in Big Bear Lake, CA

August 30, 2010 JHayden

After surviving some headaches the first day and some more altitude sickness, or bad food which caused my last night to be pretty bed and sink-focused, I must say that all in all I had a wonderful time at the pool with old and new friends in a new environment in a part of California I’ve never been to before, even though it reminded me in several ways of Lake Tahoe.

I’m also glad my car made it, despite some brake “burning” on the way down the mountain and a noise which my brother now believes was the wheel bearing. My friend Ed and I traveled about 900 miles round trip taking the scenic route up and down California in my Buick.

Here are the pictures from my camera and from others who attended:

Trip to Santa Cruz and Pigeon Point Lighthouse

June 6, 2010 JHayden

Some pictures and a video of our trip around the bay today.

We thought the buildings by the lighthouse were for the staff, but it’s actually a hostel! See http://www.norcalhostels.org/pigeon/

Some cypress trees near the Pigeon Point Lighthouse compound.

It’s a good thing Aaron’s not the kind of guy to overreact to a tsunami.

Suddenly the weather turned as we headed up the coast.

Tat, Alex and Aaron in front of the flume ride.

Trying to get a picture of the boardwalk and this woofy shirtless guy somehow got caught in the view!

New car is only eight years old!

I got a 2002 Buick LeSabre with only one previous owner and only 69k miles on it. It’s a V6, so it should last a long time, and seems to be in fantastic condition.

201005 New York Scenes including visit to Highline Park

May 25, 2010 JHayden

I had three celebrity sightings when I was there this time. Anderson Cooper was eating at Chat & Chew near Union Square, one of my old hangouts. He was with the Parisian guy who is reputed to be his boyfriend (I later saw a link and verified his identity). I also saw Kristin Wiig at the former Dugout/Rock Bar, making out with a woman. She was already my favorite SNL cast member at the moment. Now she really is! Lastly I saw Michael Musto at the Urban Bear Weekend fair. He’s a Village Voice columnist who I used to see around town all the time.

It was so great to see many old friends, but I did neglect to photograph a few special people, including Laura Yellon, Chris Cintron, Ted Habza and David A. Garcia, who I made sure to spend time with as they went out of their way to make sure they saw me. Here are pictures of the various events and people I saw, including my first look from the High Line Park, which I thoroughly enjoyed.
