Ferrari Mailing List: Re: NFC: Afraid to ask... Catalina Island

[ltwacko (ltwacko]

Palm Springs will just be a quickie.  Must see a few cousins for a late 
breakfast.  Maybe with have kin folk 'cuz of your sharing mood back in the 
day...  LOL. 

I'll look up the food places in Phoenix.  Thanks for the tips.

PS. I always make sure I have a handcuff key "handy" just in case.

Hey Rodney: A "well heeled group?" Well heeled my ass. In the desert, I found 
that more money that you spend, the more boring your stay will be. You'll see.

You're about 30 years too late to 'party' in Palm Springs, my man. Back in the 
day, my favorite spot was always Taquitz Falls, located about half a mile west 
of Palm Canyon Drive, just above downtown.

It was a beautiful little oasis, with a natural 70-foot waterfall where you, 
and a hundred or so of your new friends could 'let your hair down,' as they 
say, splash and frolic in the cool, clear water without the bothersome need of 
restrictive bathing suits. But that was back in the 1970's when the motto was 
'Everybody shares, man,' And that meant either your herb, various chemicals . . 
. or even your girlfriend!

The only rule there was that there were NO rules. When my kids were old enough 
to start asking me about 'where do babies come from,' I took them up to the 
Falls, and believe me, in one hot, sunny afternoon, they learned more about the 
Kama Sutra and sexual positions than if they had gone to a Johnny Wadd/Long 
Dong Silver Film Fest at the local Pussycat Theater. No more questions after 
that.

These days, Palm Springs is filled with folks that might have a far different 
sexual orientation than would be depicted in an old Norman Rockwell Saturday 
Evening Post cover. Different strokes . . .

And Rodney, better watch out. That 'girl' that you chatted up in the club down 
on Palm Canyon Drive earlier in the evening, might be full of surprises when 
you take her back to your motel room for a nightcap. And under NO 
circumstances, let 'her' tie you up and blindfold you in bed for a little kinky 
'fun & games!' Especially if 'she' whips out a tube of K-Y from 'her' purse 
before the lights go out, if you get my drift.

But now, depending on just how 'adventuresome' you are, there's a winter-long 
'Burning Man' Festival at a place known as The Slabs. An old abandoned AFB, on 
the other side of the Salton Sea. 

It hosts a 100,000 strong band of 'thrill seekers,' who live, laugh, and love 
below the radar screen of modern civlilization. Tents, motor-homes, campers, or 
just sleeping bags and a campfire is what they call home from about late 
October until the temps start the climb to 115* in the summer. Take this old 
camper's advice though, better go armed. Better safe than sorry.

In Phoenix, I suggest eating at either The Heart Attack Grill, or the downtown 
Sports Bar owned by Alice Cooper & Randy Johnson. At the Spts joint, their 
special is 'Randy Johnson's Big Unit.' Believe me, it's more than a mouthful. 
Some say it approaches 2 feet in length. There's even a sign above the door 
that proudly announces that, 'Linda Lovelace Refused To Eat Here.' <g>

The Heart Attack Grill serves cheeseburgers that are so artery clogging that 
the wait-staff all wear the skimpy nurse outfits that you see in the films that 
are shown down at your local Pussycat Theater.

Hope this was of help. Let us now, and good luck, yer pal Ferrari Bubba

Hey gang, I thought of no better place to ask advice on traveling somewhere 
than this well-heeled group.   I'm going to visit Mom this week in Phoenix and 
then see some of my business partners in Palm Springs, Huntington Beach, Long 
Beach and then finish up some business in Scottsdale next week.  I'm taking Mom 
with me to visit the SoCal clan on the weekend and we were thinking of hitting 
Catalina Island.  It's been on my list for many years and I missed going to 
special events there during my dancing days.  Any advice for this round trip 
from Phoenix and back?  Mom is having me rent a car instead of using hers since 
I tend to destroy most anything I drive even for a short trip...  Weather there 
is better than anything in Chicago right now.  We are up for adventure.  Mom 
taught me how to "party" (scary thought about mom for those that know me 
already).

Thanks.

Rodney
