Sebastopol!

So we're hanging out in Valley Ford, CA (near to Santa Rosa) with our good friend Mike Gilbert, when we're asked if we want to spend another day here and go to a wedding thats in Sebastopol (a town that the Grateful Dead used to frequent, aka hippie central for the area). Not wanting to pass up an occasion offering us free food and beer, we quickly accepted the invitation and when morning came, we headed over. Mike Gilbert was on "camera duty" which essentially meant pointing a little sony handycam at the bride and groom and letting it go, but we decided we could help out and take a few pictures and video, too. It was a really cool, very causal wedding that involved the Bride and Groom riding off into the the city on a little Honda Trail 70 minibike. Excuse me for calling New England a little stiff and uptight, but I dont think you'll see something like this anywhere around there. I'm really liking the atmosphere around here; everyone is wayyyyy more relaxed and laid back, and most definitely more hospitable. Massachusetts is like "the land of no eye-contact" compared to around here. I really could get used to living here haha.
