Friday morning I met others at the Hunter Creek trail head and we began the six mile, 2000 foot skin up to the McNamara Hut. It's always an excruciating experience for me, one foot in front of the other, climbing, climbing, climbing. I eventually reach the hut and can drop my load.
Once everyone arrived at the hut, a few of us head out to climb Bald Knob. I was already tired and this climb exhausted me. But it was worth it because there was a foot of powder on the slopes leading down to the hut and we carved one beautiful turn after the other.

Shine in the cold winter's night
Diamonds in the sky
Liquor fueled rocket ascends
Reaches for the stars

EATB warmed up the stage for the main act of the evening, Van Halen who kicked ass at the Selland Arena in Fresno, CA on May 14 & 15, 1992, recorded live during the 1992 "Carnal Knowledge" tour. An excellent soundboard recording that was broadcast in August of 1992 as part of the "Cabo Wabo Rock Radio Festival". It was an invigorating shock to go from EATB's dark swirling fusion of gloomy post-punk and Doors-inspired psychedelia to Van Halen's big rock sound led by Eddie's magic guitar and Sammy's shout-out vocals. I was trippin under the stars, dancing to the music!


The show ended at midnight, having listened to only disc one of a two CD set. I knew I'd be getting up early when others rose to prepare breakfast. Went into the darkened hut and dropped immediately into a deep, dreamless sleep.
A full flask in his gloved hands
Steps over the edge
Blue sparks cross the twilight sky
Life's sudden ending
