Our Own Fun

Since the scheduled Anime Club performance this weekend in Downey was canceled due to double-booking and not a single Coachella ticket between the four of us, Auburn House decided to shut down and let the dwellers get in some much needed "time off". Well at least that was the plan.

After a quick run to the store to get an onion, Costco for beer and feast supplies, the dwellers and friends were treated to one of the most magnificent mexi-feasts of all time. Certainly some of Taylor's best work thus far. The great thing about mexican cuisine is that it's simple and no matter how it's put together, it works. What would you call a cheesy chicken, peppered tortilla with refried beans, rice and corn-cake, topped with spicy salsa and homemade guac? I'd call it delicious. Great, now I want a taco salad and a Pacifico. If that isn't enough, homemade flan to polish it all off.

Meanwhile, the boys of Auburn House fueled by the two B's and some inspiration from Raekwon, performed and recorded 40 minutes of improv riffage. Ironically dubbed "Mountains of Blow" this voyage of heavy, jam based instrumental grooves thoroughly melted our faces and darkened our souls upon playback. I would not be surprised to see some (or all) of it grace our pages. Stay tuned.

The rest of the weekend was spent relaxing in front of the warm glow of the television, some Wii, hiking, shopping and some outdoor grilling. All in all I'd stamp this one as a success. Maybe next year Coachella...
