End of an Era in La Jolla – The Way We Were, by Tommy Carroll

July 20, 2010 by Albert 25 Comments

I was sent a w, and even if it is a bit before Mac Media, it is a classic of what La Jolla was in the late 1940s and set the foundation for the craziness and bizarre times of the 1960s and 70s. Thanks, for the Tommy Carroll,  many of you would have forgotten the 40's. These are the people who laid the groundwork for the surfing, diving, fishing and let's not forget partying. … [Read more...] about End of an Era in La Jolla – The Way We Were, by Tommy Carroll

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

October 9, 2009 by Albert 15 Comments

Blacks Beach's for surfing and nakedness, and 3) for pushing cars off. Okay, the first two are still what the cliffs are known for, however the third, it is been outlawed for obviously reasons. Back in the late  1930s Torrey Pines was a quick way to get rid of that junker, you know those white elephant Model Ts (now worth their weight in gold)  that  were a dime a dozen … [Read more...] about La Jolla – Car Goes Over Torrey Pines Cliff – Blacks Beach

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 … [Read more...] about La Jolla’s WindanSea – Surfers, Flexy Flyer, Nazis Riding Storm Drains

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
