2013—Jack

I met the most delightful yellow lab yesterday. When I crouched down to take his photo, none of which I could focus properly, he presented me with a large chunk of bark, then pranced away waiting for me to toss it to him. When I did, he deftly caught it, returned it to me and again waited for me to throw it. He never missed, unlike me, who could not capture a decent action photo of him while crouching awkwardly in the parking lot, trying not to topple over. It was only after he was back inside his owner’s vehicle that I managed to get a decent shot. So, heeeeeeeeeere’s Jack!

2013—Taps

Like the last drop of Famous Blonde escaping from this handleless beer tap, I have shed more than a few tears in the past few weeks as it became agonizingly apparent that we could not continue to keep Famous Mo’s Coffeehouse & Theater open. Road construction directly in front of our establishment, planned for more than a year before we opened, but never disclosed to us either by our landlord or by the city of Rocklin when we were researching this site, has devastated our business to the point of its demise. Our last show featuring The Tribe of the Red Horse (also featured in my last blog post) was Saturday. So it is Taps for Famous Mo’s after only six months.
