Jack in the Box Head On Top of La Jolla High’s Flagpole

August 30, 2010 by Albert 8 Comments

Senior pranks tend to be an unofficial tradition at most high schools, similar to the unofficial senior skip day. It is crucial to find the perfect prank; one must realized the fine line between harmless and mischievous and vandalism or criminal. Some of the typical ones are TPing the school grounds or passing a beach ball (no not Steve Roel) during graduation ceremonies. Or … [Read more...] about Jack in the Box Head On Top of La Jolla High’s Flagpole

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

Silverback Ale – Mac Meda Postcards With Albert

May 3, 2010 by Albert 2 Comments

Back when Jack MacPherson was tending bar at the West End, some dorky beer salesperson stopped in promoting a new type of Ale. Normally these people would get their asses reamed and  run out.  As far as Jack was concern, there were only a handful of beers worth drinking. However, this one sparked his attention for the obvious. "Silverback Ale,” the salesperson pitched, … [Read more...] about Silverback Ale – Mac Meda Postcards With Albert

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

WindanSea Sunsets – Social Network of Beach Life

January 10, 2010 by Albert 13 Comments

In the Florida Keys, each night around two hours before sunset masses of people flock to the water's edge to experience a soul-soothing, gorgeous, spiritual happening to play homage to the sun as it sank into the Gulf of Mexico. Vendors set up little trinkets shops and  performing artists like jugglers, animal acts, high-wire artists, acrobats, and fire-eaters all began working … [Read more...] about WindanSea Sunsets – Social Network of Beach Life

Jumping Off La Jolla Clam – San Diego Fines

December 26, 2009 by Albert 22 Comments

There are only three common sense rules to jump off the Clam. Be a very good surf swimmer, not a pool swimmer. Know how to read tide charts, so not to jump at low tide (this is a no-brainer) and never jump when can see the rocks protruding from where you are suppose to land at, this means, it is very low tide. (Humm, again a no-brainer) Time your jump to hit swell. … [Read more...] about Jumping Off La Jolla Clam – San Diego Fines

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

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 ...
