Flashback: Smashing Orange

I've noticed that several mp3 blogs doin' the '90s retro thing have picked up on/posted stuff about Smashing Orange. This one has the most concise bio of the Delaware band, plus the full album for d/l:

Here are my pics from the recent Greyhounds Reach the Beach gathering in Dewey Beach, Delaware.

Kelly and I spent a few days on holiday in Rehoboth Beach and got to see and pet plenty of greys!

It turned out to be a nice time, even if we did miss a day because I had an allergic reaction to some antiobiotics.

Del. fire companies to have oxygen masks for dogs and cats

Within weeks, firefighters statewide may be able to say that, as Delaware is poised to become the first state to equip all fire companies with pet masks.

My day with Andy Duvall

I hung out with my old pal Andy Duvall.

We went to Borders in search of a Delaware calendar. No luck.

Stopped in at Compusa to check out GPS systems. Then picked up some rubbermaid tubs at Lowe's.

Then we headed up to Jimmy John's on Rt. 202 for some pip'n hot sandwiches.

Andy had two cheese dogs and two birch beers. We split a big ol' tub of fries. I just had two plain dogs.

We heard Van Halen, Led Zeppelin and Greg Kihn on the radio in Jimmy John's.

Then we went to another Borders and a clerk made very rude comments about Delaware when we asked about a calendar.

It made Andy VERY mad and he couldn't believe a clerk could be so ignorant.

I'm used to people saying dumb things, so it didn't really phase me.

Finally we drove up to Philly airport and I dropped him off.

He got on a plane and went back to San Francisco.

Hopefully I'll get a chance to visit him in California soon.
