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 11 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

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

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

LA JOLLA BEACHES BEING ABUSED BY COMMERCIAL VENDORS
Some bad things are happening to our La Jolla beaches and that is, vendors are blocking off areas for private parties and making large profits off public beaches. Now as the law reads, these vendors can get a permit to have a private party and that permit is ONLY for 50 people, BUT, they CAN NOT ASK or MAKE you leave (even if they show you your permit)  if you are sitting in a spot they want to have their party at ...
