At Last

Two to three feet of snow have fallen in the Sierra in the last 24 hours, meaning that Tahoe area ski resorts can open up. Mount Rose, where I have a season pass, will be opening today. As luck would have it, I need only work a half day today because I had to come in the Friday after Thanksgiving. So don't bother trying to find me after noon today, because I have business of my own to attend to:

In other news, I went to see Ozomatli last Wednesday at the Reno Hilton. It's too bad that Reno is still the sort of town where a show like this happens on a Wednesday night (and then people wonder why Reno doesn't seem to support live music), but the show itself was great. If you haven't heard of Ozomatli don't worry, I hadn't either until a couple of friends put me onto them. They're a really funky L.A. fusion of Latin, Hip-Hop and a hodge-podge of World Music. See their show if you get a chance (they seem to stick pretty close the West Coast, unfortunately), because they really put a lot into a live performance. When the stage went dark and the spotlight hit the DJ wearing an old Public Enemy hoodie, and he began to spin something that included the intro from the 70's cartoon Challenge of the Super Friends, I knew I would like this band.
