Police Raid WindanSea, La Jolla – Mac Meda July, 1968, Convention

May 25, 2010 by Albert 11 Comments

Brian Munoz probably summarized it best; after getting a few "to-go orders"  for a beer run, he went to the Liquor Box, filled his truck with cases, and when he started pulling out of the parking lot  heading down Nautilus St -  that’s when he slammed on his brakes. He suddenly had become the caboose of a freight train of police cars heading to WindanSea Beach. It was known … [Read more...] about Police Raid WindanSea, La Jolla – Mac Meda July, 1968, Convention

Cop Rolls Car Busting La Jolla, WindanSea Convention

March 22, 2010 by Albert 5 Comments

Here is how the story goes. Huge Mac Meda Convention at WindanSea. Cops like always were waiting out of sight, usually lined up like a fright train somewhere in Bird Rock or at the top of Nautilus St; glued to their radios, tapping fingers on the dashboard, just waiting to  bust underage drinkers. And the wishful wish of finally put the end to the La Jolla outlaw drinking … [Read more...] about Cop Rolls Car Busting La Jolla, WindanSea Convention

Drinking, Destruction, Sex – Police – La Jolla Mac Meda

February 28, 2010 by Albert 10 Comments

The Mac Meda Destruction Co. sounds like a joke, started as a joke, thrived as a joke and ended up like a joke. Or is it? Some of the teen-age, members of this loosely organized group boast the motto, "Drinking Destruction and Sex" Here's the joke punch line, written Jan 10 (1965): On that day, beer flowed freely among the young Mac Meda crowd - nearly 200 of them … [Read more...] about Drinking, Destruction, Sex – Police – La Jolla Mac Meda

Carmel Valley – Adobe House Convention

February 15, 2010 by Albert 4 Comments

As Red Mountain Inn owner, David Osborn said in a comment, “Mac Meda's conventions had to move around a bit. The cops were always looking to bust the next one." Besides, Browns Ranch, WindanSea and Sea Lane, there was the coolest of all coolest places to have a Convention. This editor knew it as the Adobe House or Farm in Carmel Valley. The Convention was held at abandon … [Read more...] about Carmel Valley – Adobe House Convention

Cuyamaca State Park Convention – In The Trees

February 14, 2010 by Albert 1 Comment

Conventions were a must for Mac Meda. In reality it was just a place to go, and either raise some hell, like the Mexico Convention or just kick back,  drink a ton of beers and socialize … as the boys from Animal House said, "Road Trip." Nested in the north East of El Cajon or about 40 miles east of San Diego and by Julian is Cuyamaca State Park, the perfect Road Trip. In … [Read more...] about Cuyamaca State Park Convention – In The Trees

Carmel Valley Conventions – Brown’s Ranch

December 20, 2009 by Albert 8 Comments

Carmel Valley in the old days was considered the sticks - depending on type of vehicle, and pit stops it took about a two beers as the crow flies before one got to the Carmel Valley turnoff off Interstate 5 and another 1 to two beers to get to Brown’s Cattle Ranch. Browns Ranch was not really owned by Brown, he had the property just North, but just an easy name to remember and … [Read more...] about Carmel Valley Conventions – Brown’s Ranch

Mac Meda Mexico Convention – Kegs, Drunks and Federales

September 12, 2009 by Albert 6 Comments

Sometime in late 1966 another Mac Meda Convention, had to happen ...  and it had to be the best one to date ... but where could you go without the hassle of the cops? "Well,  there is this funky and small bar and restaurant called Concheria at Lecerito or Cerito beach," someone mentioned. "Lecerito, Cerito Beach ... where the hell is that?" Oh about 20-30 miles south … [Read more...] about Mac Meda Mexico Convention – Kegs, Drunks and Federales

Conventions – Keg Party – Drunken Beer Orgies and Wild Women

September 10, 2009 by Albert 8 Comments

A Los Angeles Times reporter once wrote, “ ... drunken beer orgies and wild women” when referring to a Mac Meda Convention. No doubt, Mac Meda perfected the keg party, if not invented it.  And the greatest technical advancement to the keg party was the invention of the plastic trash can. Lightweight, somewhat strong, could hold a keg perfect and most important; it provided … [Read more...] about Conventions – Keg Party – Drunken Beer Orgies and Wild Women
