Skinny dipping at the bottom of Rainbow Falls in Hawaii, with Megan Fox, is definitely at the top of my summer activities wish list. Now that would be a real transformer.
Of course, the only way that will happen is if I die and God says, “Welcome to heaven Mountain Dude- I’m going to make all of your wishes come true.” Needless to say, it’s always good to be prepared for anything- Even sudden death–Which is why I have more than a few wishes stashed away, just in case.
Realistically, my less grandiose goal for this summer is to enjoy at least five outdoor rock concerts. With so many venues to choose from, I’m sure I can pull that off without having to go to heaven and transform a bunch of wishes. Of course “heaven” means different things to different people. For some people, getting high on great music at a concert under the stars, on a warm summer night, when an amazing performer is creating magic moments, can make it seem like one is actually experiencing heaven on earth- Even if it only lasts for a few heartbeats. And then there’s kissing beneath a shimmering shroud of stars, which can also make it seem like you’re in heaven (but let’s not get too sidetracked with stuff like love and carnal connections).
One of my favorite rock concert venues is at Lake Arrowhead, California. Located high in the mountains in a picturesque, alpine village setting, there is a free concert every Friday and Saturday night, all summer long. Picture speed boats and water skiers skimming all over a beautiful lake surrounded with pine trees. Kids are walking around the village licking ice cream cones. Dog lovers are parading their big huskies, shepherds and Saint Bernards. Families are having picnics all over a grassy knoll in full view of the concert stage. A convenient beer garden is stage left and offers a variety of beer and wine. Concerts always begin just before dusk and by the time it gets dark, the dance area right in front of the stage is packed with people visibly having a great time. The bands scheduled for this weekend are: “Fantastic Diamond,” a rock band, and “Common Sense” a reggae band.
Another of my favorite venues is in Long Beach, California, where the Queen Mary is docked. This weekend, there is a “Motorcycle Show and Calendar Girl Music Festival.” The two day event, located at Queen Mary Park, includes a “Custom Motorcycle Show” and a “Calendar Girl Bikini Contest.”
Crowds of up to 20,000 people, mostly biker types, walk around eyeballing hot, custom bikes and hot, scantily dressed models who work in the tents sponsored by 200 major motorcycle parts manufacturers. I went last year and became fascinated with the electric motorcycles. I’m still planning on buying one. Fuck gas. Fuck the Middle East.
Food booths sell BBQ ribs and burgers. An outdoor bar under a big tent offers cold beer, wine and mixed drinks. Sexy and talented all girl bands perform throughout the day. Last year, there was a smokin’ hot all girl, ACDC tribute band (Whole Lotta Rosies), and they are going to perform again this weekend. Actress/singer Elizabeth Nicole will also be back performing and hosting. Her many talents are worth the price of admission alone.
