WINTER WONDERLAND

This is just a quickie to check in and wish everyone who has participated in this blog over the last year a HUGE HAPPY HOLIDAYS and a wonderful New Year. A few days ago, we had no plans and were sitting around in LA wondering what we should do for Christmas. Sometimes its Scuba. This year it ended up being skiing!! We literally threw a bunch of stuff into some bags and headed up to Lake Arrowhead. Check out the view from the room below. Its absolutely stunning and it just happens to be 25 miles from Big Bear, and some fun fun in the snow. Yesterday I went up Snow Summit and spent the afternoon skiing by myself. I actually did a couple of runs with the video camera, so trust me when I say I have a fun V-Blog coming soon!

Its one of the joys of living in SoCal - you can take a two hour drive into the snow, and then another hour drive and you are in 100 degree heat in the desert!! I am sure we will end up down there after Xmas - seems a shame not to hit our usual favorites....the spa and the steakhouse! Whatever happens, this year is a low key, low stress effort. Xmas day will be spent here in the hotel, and I can't think of a better way to avoid all the hassle and enjoy someone else's decorations/tree/red hat!!! Well, maybe at 70ft beneath the ocean in a far away Polynesian ocean but thats another year.

Not the most glamorous hairstyle on the slopes, Mr Morrison!! I have to admit that I am OG when it comes to snow - I have boarded a few times, but prefer skiing.... and it was nice to get some practice in before .... Sundance Film Festival - is headed our way, and I will be found at the T-Mobile diner in Park City on Saturday 19th January, DJ'ing with Donovan. And other than that, I am DONE with thinking about work until after the New Year. Its been a fantastic 07 for me, with the whole Circus Diablo album release, a couple of nice enjoyable Camp Freddy outings, the emergence of the whole DJ thing for me (which I TOTALLY enjoy....not the best at it, but I love music, so who cares) and a couple of movies under my belt. I couldn't wish for more.

A couple of quickies before I go .... Anny, I think Dave and I were just talking in gereal about MySpace comments and certain other websites - a lot of comments are just haters, and the web is full of that, because its faceless. Anonymous. We were saying we just avoid all that rubbish. And I also wanna thank everyone who sent ecards and holiday wishes - especially Peebs!! She sent the funniest Video Card to me (check it out below) I hope that you all have a wonderful holiday, and please try and do something, some small thing, for someone less fortunate than yourself. Whatever it may be, you will be helping to spread some happiness. We could all do with a bit more of that, right?? I'll leave you with an exclusive picture of me with Circus Diablo's new trombone player. Lots of trombone all over the next record, and we are gonna take this guy on tour with us. Oh, and by the way - yesterdays CFR is up on the Podcasts page. Merry Christmas and thanks Paul!!. See ya very soon with a cool Winter Wonderland V-Blog. Until then.....

Peace

Billy
