Today we visited the Albany Bulb and the Marin Headlands, and we played a show at The Cakebread Castle.
The Albany Bulb is an interesting piece of land: it was made out of construction refuse that was deposited in the Bay and then covered with clay, for many years.

Three artists known collectively as Sniff filled the place with “murals” and sculptures a few years ago.

My friend Amanda works at the Headlands Center for the Arts, so a drive though Sausalito to go visit her was in order. I thought the place was wonderful. 
After that went to walk around Rodeo Beach and its accompanying lagoon.
And Bob and Bryan did a recording session back at the house.
Then we went to Oakland for a house show at Dax Tran-Caffee’s fascinating place, The Cakebread Castle.
Dax made eggs and pecan pancakes for all the guests. He was a fantastic host. Bryan and I both performed, Dax did a puppet show, and several other musicians shared a few songs throughout the night.

I got to see Marla, old friend from college, and our friend Justin Rhody was there too. This is me with Vernon Putnam, who gets the cool award for coming to see me play this week twice.
