Going to Santa Cruz tonight, will be there for the weekend. Beach Party practices totalled three this week, including one without horns and a horn "sectional." I've never really dealt with having to think of stuff for horns to do, and it's especially hard because I don't really know what horns do most of the time. And what is a "pop" horn section? I guess we'll find out.

Also, there was this bum at the bottom of the Shields exit of the 41 today who was at the same spot the same time yesterday. Yesterday, I gave him a dollar. Did he stay there the night and all of today? Did he walk to Panda Express maybe? Only a couple of blocks away. Did he make a particularly good haul yesterday? How much did my dollar contribute to his decision to come back at the same time today?
