Man, I had been so excited to see this place for a long time. You pretty much only hear good things, and most of those things have to do with sun and tan bodies and surfing. I've never actually tried surfing, but pretty sure it's my favorite past time already.
One of Kim's favorite movies as a kid was Lost Boys, which was filmed in Santa Cruz and apparently takes place on the boardwalk. I've never seen the movie, but she was going crazy to get there and go on the merry go round and eat carnival food and get our faces painted and play in the arcade.
We realized as soon as we walked over that the place was actually completely shut down. Even though it was like a million degrees out, I guess the summer season had ended and the rides only open on the weekends.
Kim staring longingly into the closed carousel. Awwwwwwwwww.
Sick skull clock.
We didn't actually get pictures of us in a shark mouth, but here are some pictures of other people in a sharks mouth.
Warren, Kim, Dave-o.
Shooting gallery that I totally did. Was only one token!
Man, we could hear a lot of yelling from the boardwalk and we walked out onto the pier and found a bunch of wild life.
Fucking huge sea lions! They were loud and mean and kept fighting each other off the dock.
(I took some video, and I'm going to try figure out how to embed it, but right now I have to run! So to check them out click here and here!!)
The show was fun. And the stage was SO FUCKING TALL! It was actually taller than Kim. But, I borrowed a really nice camera from Joe, David Dondero's tour manager, and took a lot of sweet pictures. But then I didn't get any of those sweet pictures off of the camera, so we are stuck with these last two. Matt signing a CD and us hanging out after the show with our friend Genny and her coworker. Who's name I forgot. Sorry!
After the show we hung out with the AM! dudes in the van a bit and then went to a hotel down the street.

Santa Cruz looked cool, just like that level in Tony Hawk.
