Tonight we tried our hands at our first night outing. We've gone out twice! during the day at this point, so hell, we are experts. No problem.
or... maybe a few problems
We attended the 25th anniversary screening of the best worst surf film ever made, North Shore. Rick Kane and Turtle were both on deck. I was really excited.
To say that there would be a stoked crowd of hooting surf bros there would be dead on accurate. Amazing right! To say this is the perfect venue for a week old baby would be... less than accurate. Ho hum.
We learned a few things. First, get there early. We showed up late and the place was packed, no room for strollers. Turns out a new key factor in my night life is... stroller room!
Second, standing outside is fine, but only until the salty surf dogs roll out for a smoke. Then your wife stands far off in a dark corner to protect your baby, making you feel and look like a complete ass when you look up from your glassy eyed nostalgiagasm, only to realize your abandoned family looks like background from a set of les miserables.
There were positives. The best thing about the night was watching marin rogue breastfeed Andie on the street at night. Right there, under a street lamp, next to the random bbq joint, she plugged that baby in. That lady never ceases to impress.
Shaka to ya bruddha...
