Bo Bridges Art Opening, and other stuff

By Joy A. Kennelly

There are certain times of the month when things seem so much more serious than they really are and women, you know what I'm talking about. Last week was one of those times, but once Friday hit I was feeling so much better.

Helped to commensurate with another girlfriend who was going through something similar. I had planned to hit the after-party of the Surf Fest, but just wasn't in the mood. Rather melancholy to be honest - not up to socializing.

However, Saturday was a new day. Woke up feeling great and ready to have fun with friends. Washed that man right out of my hair. lol Still stings, but not as much now that I know I want to be right with God more than with him. Guess another lesson to learn on the road to true love.

Hit the local Surfer Walk of Fame celebration and Surf fest down at the Pier Plaza which was fun to see. Wasn't in the mood to stand in the lines and only hit a few booths as a result. Very cool to see all the young kids out and about though.

We have some amazing surfers who have come out of this area. We also have some amazing surf brands down here - Body Glove, Spyder anyone? I'm sure there are others, but those are the two I've had personal connection with so there you have it.

Visited with a few local retailers and then finished reading The One: Finding Soulmate love and Making it Last by Kathy Freston one last time before throwing clothes on to go out that night. Not sure if I believe it, but thought it would help me move on faster which I think it has. We'll see.

I took a ton of pix yesterday and had a really great time. I've uploaded the majority on my Facebook and Myspace sites so check 'em out there.

Here's a few highlights though just for fun:

Whoops, how did that get there? Here's the real ones...
Summer is just around the corner.
Timmy Curan and his brother performed I believe.

Hit a new friend, Vic's bday party at The Shore
If you're a fan of Big Bob and Cafe Bugaloo better come on down soon because it's under new ownership and going to change.

What a big loss to our community. I hope whoever has bought it realizes there is going to be a lot of upset people once word gets out. BOYCOTT!!!!:)
Recognize Bradley from KROQ? Don't take my picture you pap you!:)
He made me laugh so hard - what a crazy guy. Rumor has it he's considering running for Hermosa Beach City Council. That would certainly make things interesting to say the least. He totally reminds me of John Pieplow. Doesn't he? Only I'm sure John wouldn't be caught dead in a pimp daddy coat like that, or would he? LOL
Local runner, Annie Seawright, and organizer of the Surf Fest I believe, catching a wave at the upper lounge of Bo Bridge's Spit Studio. Kudos to her and the entire group . Very cool to see Hermosa recognizing Surfers more than drinkers! Thanks!
Lovebirds, Jason and Greycie, below the wave in the downstairs art gallery. He's part owner of The Shore and they own Luna G together. Very sweet couple.
The man of the hour, Bo Bridges with me and Darcy.
We just moved the party over from The Shore...
DJ Sleeper really set the tone for the party.
