Mac Meda Destruction Company

Mac Meda Goes to Mars The Second Time

Back in 2000 Jack thought it was be pretty cool to let Mars know of Mac Meda. So, not knowing all the details of how he or others did it, Mac Meda joined the mission of exploration and discovery.

A compact disc bearing Mac Meda Destruction Co was included on the next Mars Exploration Rover-2003 that would search for geologic evidence for water.  Because once you find water … well you guess it, you can make beer.

One of the rumors was that there was a Mac Meda sticker placed inside the Exploration Rover by a NASA geek …  Sorry  as of this date we have not seen any evidences there was one.  But we do like the claim to fame thought, but if you do find one, please let us know.

La Jolla Police Catch Skeleton Thief and Eber Loses Drinking Buddy

Eber Loses a Great Drinking Buddy and Has to Cut his hair.

They say drinking alone is a sign of alcoholism, so if you are a Meda drinker, what do you do when you want to go on a roll and no one is around?

Interesting predicament, for someone who can not find anyone to drink with. It’s not like he can pick up a cell or text someone. Remember we are talking late 1960s. Hummm … what to do?

Bingo! Eber had a good thought, why not get a drinking buddy?  Read more... (355 words, 1 image, estimated 1:25 mins reading time)

La Jolla’s WindanSea – Surfers, Flexy Flyer, Nazis Riding Storm Drains

Back in the early 1960s, everyone in California knew there was something different about the La Jolla’s WindanSea crowd and surfers like Curren, Mike Diffenderfer (RIP) Tiny Brain Thomas, Billy Graham, and Butch Van Artsdalen (RIP).” Pat Curren and Mike Diffenderfer were known to hang at the Birds Rock’s  Sip and Surf and Red Mountain Inn and Tiny Brain Thomas was a bartender at Maynards. Sure there were others, but nothing like the ones mentioned.

Rakestraw and Curren had similar trends, both were regulars at Maynards and many times shared temporary living quarters at jail, so much so – Rakestraw used to write Curren little messages on the jail walls.  Read more... (360 words, 0 images, estimated 1:26 mins reading time)

La Jolla Prospect St & South Coast Blvd Short Cut

What goes down may get stuck!

In downtown La Jolla at the intersection of Prospect and Girard Street there is a short cut; a  set of stairs, about 150 yards long,  8 feet wide that goes to South Coast Blvd. below. This cool short cut always came in handy when the cops or someone else was chasing you.

After the bars close,  Meda drivers would drive down the stairs in 4-wheel drives, and/or in the infamous VW Bug for a late night thrill. One such feat, in either Bill Phanner (RIP) or Dean Burriston bug,  after a Mister Todds wild ride down, stopped at the bottom at the shocking look of a elderly couple taking a early morning stroll.  Read more...

Four Escape Death – 200 Foot Plunge off La Jolla Cave Street

Mac Meda people have always cheated death and quite frankly, some we are surprised that they have lived as long as they have.

No doubt, this post is probably one of the luckiest ones.

Back in February 1968, Richard Krug’s friend, Larry Cornellius, asked to borrow his brand new pickup. Richard hesitated, then gave him the keys.

Hours later wondering where his truck was, Larry finally came back and explained his truck was at the bottom of Cave street in one of the most unreal feats of escaping death.
