Now that I've gotten all that Planet of the Apes stuff out of my system it's time to get back to the point of this site.
Sad news recently was the death of singer Eamonn Gibney. Eamonn had a fascinating career from his origins in Glasnevin with Dead Centre and for many years he really was dead centre of the music scene in Dublin, making waves with Purple Pussycat, singing soul music with The Arrows and Alyce, a stint with Skid Row, part of a duo with Gibney & O'Donovan, as part of Allies, and as a solo artist. To remember his soulful voice, listen to this:
On a happier note, thanks to Ian Monahan for pointing out that Ditch Cassidy recorded a fairly recent single which can be bought through itunes here, or listened to here:
As promised in the previous post, here is one more collection of sounds inspired by Planet of the Apes. Where the last collection had a hard rock slant, this one looks to areas like hip-hop and electronic music which were slower to embrace the Apes. Much of this is instrumental music, some of it only using an Apes reference for the song title, some using samples from the films. There are tracks from Japanese superfans Cornelius and Nigo, and from a Planet of the Apes hip-hop concept album by Suave the Ape. Finland's Ceebrolistics take things a step further in a Christian-based hip-hop attack on the theory of evolution (more recently, Destiny Lab have used a similar strategy, even dressing as apes to make their point, but aren't included here). A lot of this music was also created by musicians without any commercial considerations and made available freely online.
As is always the case, there is no copyright infringement intended in the posting of this collection, merely the sharing of good music among that part of the human population of this planet who enjoy music and Planet of the Apes. Any requests to remove content will be respected.

The Sacred Scrolls: Music of the Planet of the Apes
And keep up to date with all things Ape on twitter here:
Almost three years ago, around the time that Rise of the Planet of the Apes was in cinemas, RockRoots brought you a collection of music from the first wave of Apemania, titled 'Ape Shuffle'. That post ended with a mention that there were plenty of songs about Planet of the Apes from the decades after 1980, and that if anyone really wanted to hear them they could appear on follow-up collections. For whatever reason – let's assume technical problems – absolutely nobody has expressed any such interest in hearing these. Nevertheless, sure in the knowledge that this must be some kind of oversight, the release of the latest film, Dawn of the Planet of the Apes, will be marked with not one, but two more collections of Ape-themed music from RockRoots! Presented here is a CDs-worth of rock, some of it about the Planet of the Apes, some of it making reference to the Planet of the Apes, some of it using samples taken from Planet of the Apes films, and much of it just using the title 'Planet of the Apes'. It is, after all, a very evocative title, bringing to mind iconic imagery and timeless quotes. It means very different things to different musicians – to some it is simply about classic sci-fi, to others it is about broader themes of the mortality and morality of the human race. Some use it as crude shorthand for racial stereotypes (for which reason the charmingly named 'Vaginal Jesus' aren't included here), some as an equally blunt message of racial violence (that's you, Wu Tang Clan), others still as a sarcastic attack on the theory of evolution (on which, more in the next post). The pace of new songs written about Planet of the Apes has been maintained in the three years since the last collection, meaning there are plenty to choose from. Believe it or not, there were as many tracks left off this collection as were included, some for the reasons just mentioned, but also because of sound quality, or having no discernible content about the Apes concept beyond a song title (some of these slipped in anyway). Some were left off for offensive lyrics, but before listening you should be warned that there are still a lot of explicit lyrics on here and it is not intended for young or sensitive listeners.
The music that remains ranges from '80s indie rock through to heavy metal, with a very generous helping of punk along the way, but will hopefully have some sort of overall coherence for the listener. It seems that Planet of the Apes became a popular theme for punk bands around the late 1980s and remained so until at least the mid '00s, for reasons that aren't immediately obvious, although this coincided with a time when there was a long drawn-out saga in Hollywood about how best to revive the film franchise, ending ultimately with a movie widely regarded as a disappointment. The companion collection to follow will be more of a sound collage taking in hip-hop, electronic and soundtrack music. As is always the case, there is no copyright infringement intended in the posting of this collection, merely the sharing of good music among that tiny cross-section of the human population of this planet who enjoy both hard rock and Planet of the Apes. Any requests to remove content will be respected.

The Sacred Scrolls: Music of the Planet of the Apes
The story of Eire Apparent is very complicated and frequently misrepresented. The fact that the group were associated with two particularly famous guitarists – Jimi Hendrix and Henry McCullough – obscures the contribution of band members like Mick Cox to the group's album Sunrise. Presented here is a collection of non-album tracks recorded by (or associated with) Eire Apparent, starting with a pair of tracks recorded by their Belfast beat group precursor. Then consisting of George O'Hara (vocals/lead guitar), Davy Lutton (drums), Ernie Graham (vocals/rhythm guitar), Eric Wrixon (keyboards) and Mike Niblett (bass), The People contributed two songs to the compilation album Ireland's Greatest Sounds: Five Top Groups From Belfast's Maritime Club (Ember Records LP, February 1966): I'm With You was cover of a 1963 single by The Big Three, Well… All Right was a 1958 Buddy Holly B-side. Both tracks were also included on a 1997 CD Belfast Beat: Maritime Blues (Big Beat).
Major changes during the next two years saw O'Hara, Niblett and Wrixon leave, replaced by Chris Stewart (bass) and Henry McCullough (guitar), and the band move to Blackpool, then Dublin, then London, where they were signed by managers Mike Jeffery and Chas Chandler. Chandler had been bass player with The Animals, but left performing and teamed up with former Animals manager Jeffery; together they managed Eric Burden's relaunched new Animals, Soft Machine and The Jimi Hendrix Experience. Jeffery's wife came up with the name 'Eire Apparent', a terrible pun to capitalise on their exotic Hibernian origins, and from then their career was bound up with that of Hendrix. The group were sent to Spain to write enough songs to fill an album, but months later they had come up with just one original track. In November 1967 they embarked on a UK package tour with the Hendrix Experience, The Move, The Pink Floyd, The Nice, Amen Corner and The Outer Limits (and Lemmy as one of the roadies) – a fantastic line-up but one that reduced each band to playing for only about 20 minutes. Track Records, Hendrix's label, agreed to release a single in January 1968 to test the waters for a potential album. To the group's annoyance, Chandler asked them to record Follow Me, written by three members of pop group The Flowerpot Men, with their own song Here I Go Again consigned to the B-side. They didn't like the commercial single, and in any case it didn't chart and Track lost interest. This single was in fact the only release featuring McCullough and is now extremely rare. Here I Go Again can be found on We Can Fly: Psychedelic Obscurities Volume 4 (Past & Present CD, 2004) and Follow Me can be found on Track Records: Backtrack Volume 1 (Track LP, 1970). Both tracks were included on a CD reissue of Sunrise in 2010, but Follow Me in particular suffered from a poor transfer, so this collection uses a new transfer from the Backtrack LP.
Next, Eire Apparent were sent on a series of extended tours of North America, first with The Animals, later with Soft Machine and The Jimi Hendrix Experience, from the beginning of February for most of the year. With hindsight, the strategy of sacrificing their momentum in the UK for a crack at the American market would prove to be a mistake; both Hendrix and The Animals were already established before their lengthy absences. During this time, McCullough was busted for possession of marijuana and the band and management decided to replace him and carry on. English guitarist Mick Cox had been posted to Northern Ireland during his military service and ended up joining local group The Alleykatz in 1964 (who had also featured on the Maritime Club album) and a solo Van Morrison in 1967. Mick was summoned at short notice to replace McCullough and within weeks, according to author Daragh O'Halloran, he was "straight into the studio recording, because I was a songwriter and they didn't have any other songwriter apart from Ernie". The timing of this changeover is probably the most hazily reported part of the story. Many sources suggest September 1968, but O'Halloran points out that McCullough made his stage debut with his next band (Sweeney's Men) back in Dublin on 17 May, and supporting this are the files of Hendrix's recording sessions which show that Eire Apparent were recording a new single in New York's Record Plant studio with Cox and Hendrix in May (right after Hendrix recorded multiple versions of Voodoo Chile, and before Eire Apparent briefly flew out to a festival in Zurich on 30 May). The band that had struggled for three months to write one song might have left very little evidence of their music behind had Cox not joined them when he did. The new single paired Cox's Let Me Stay with the group collaboration Yes I Need Someone, drenched with feedback and backwards guitar courtesy of producer Hendrix and surely the highlight of their time together. Intriguingly, the Jimi Hendrix: Electric Ladyland Sessions – May 1968 MP3 download collection (ATM, 2009), from which these two mono tracks are taken, says that when the rest of the album was recorded and mixed in stereo later on, the engineers simply added fake stereo echo effects to the mono US single (released on Buddah Records in October 1968), rather than remixing the tapes in true stereo. Make your own mind up on that.
The rest of the Sunrise album was recorded at TTG and Sunset-Highland Studios, Los Angeles, on 30 October 1968, with Hendrix again producing. Cox contributed Mr. Guy Fawkes, Morning Glory and Captive In The Sun. Ernie Graham wrote Got To Get Away, Someone Is Sure To (Want You) and Magic Carpet. Chris Stewart wrote (and sang?) The Clown (also featuring backing vocals from Soft Machine's Robert Wyatt and The Experience's Noel Redding). Jimi Hendrix played guitar on all tracks with the possible exception of Got To Get Away and 1026 – a Graham/Stewart collaboration produced by engineer Jack Hunt (and possibly also featuring the singing of Redding and Wyatt). Other credits were flute by Mick Cox, orchestral arrangements by Animals guitarist Vic Briggs and engineering by Eddie Kramer, Jack Hunt, Garry Kellgren and Tony Bongiovi (cousin of Jon Bon Jovi, fact fans). The breakdown of song-writing credits may go some way to explaining the criticism that Sunrise is an inconsistent album mixing too many styles to be considered a classic, but it is far more than just a Hendrix related curiosity. Cox left in November 1968, very shortly after the album was recorded. It was released on Buddah Records in the US around January 1969, but not in the UK until the following May, a major flaw in the US-centred action plan for the group.
The new lead guitarist was David 'Tiger' Taylor, a veteran of countless Northern Irish groups (including an early version of The People), and very quickly the band recorded a new Taylor/Graham composition, Rock 'N' Roll Band. Once again Jimi Hendrix added guitar, though this was recorded at Polydor Studios, London, on 5 January 1969, and produced by Carlos Olms. It was paired with Yes I Need Someone for a March single release, and bumped Let Me Stay from the eventual UK album. Eire Apparent then set out on a European tour supporting The Jimi Hendrix Experience in January 1969. At least two of the concerts on this tour were recorded by audience members – fans of Hendrix rather than Eire Apparent, it has to be assumed, but it leaves us a valuable record of the band's live shows which consisted mainly of covers and lengthy jams. The set from the Liederhalle, Stuttgart, on 19 January 1969 consists of The Price of Love (originally by The Everly Brothers, soon to be recorded by Status Quo), Highway 61 Revisited (Bob Dylan), Blues (improvisation) and Gloria (Them). The above-mentioned 2010 Sunrise CD included these tracks, but with Fritz Rau's band introduction and other chatter edited out. The full set, with a better quality transfer, appeared on both a separate bootleg (though crediting McCullough rather than Taylor) and as part of another bootleg paired with Hendrix's set, from which this version is taken. The performance at the Konzerthaus, Vienna, on 22 January, consisting of The Price Of Love, Highway 61 Revisited, Rock 'N' Roll Band and Gloria, has also appeared on bootlegs, but in initial releases the tape speed gradually increased making the end of their set comically fast. This collection uses a later version with speed correction by an anonymous boffin.
On 20 April 1969 Eire Apparent recorded a BBC Radio Top Gear session for John Peel, playing Yes I Need Someone, Highway 61 Revisited and Gloria. A 2008 unauthorised Pretty Things CD, The Forgotten Beebs (Tendolar), included Gloria and Yes I Need Someone from this session, in the belief that future Pretty Things guitarist Peter Tolson played on these tracks rather than Taylor. Listings from Peel's archives suggest that Taylor actually played on them, but either way this CD allowed us to hear the obscure recordings for the first time. For some reason these two tracks were pressed onto the CD at a ludicrously loud volume, completely distorting the sound and making them almost unlistenable. This Rarities collection has tried to correct that to some extent, but frankly there's only so much that can be done with them, and this new edit of Yes I Need Someone still suffers from some distortion; hopefully the source tapes are in better condition and include the third song from the session. It was reported in May 1969 that the band were recording tracks for a second album, to be produced by Robert Wyatt, but no trace of any such recordings is known to exist. As mentioned, at some point in 1969 Peter Tolson replaced Tiger Taylor, and there are also suggestions that guitarist Steve Jolly (formerly of Sam Apple Pie) later joined too, but even the break up of the band can't be pinpointed exactly beyond it being sometime in 1970. By then Mike Jeffery had bought out Chas Chandler from Hendrix's management. Jeffery has been accused of everything from fleecing his acts of their money (probably true) to murdering Hendrix for his life insurance policy (probably false), and died in a plane crash in 1973 leaving a fortune in hidden bank accounts. Chandler was free to concentrate on Eire Apparent, but struggled to rebuild a fan base in the UK and devoted himself instead to his newest project, Slade.
The last tracks in this collection come from covers of Eire Apparent songs (technically, at least). Australian psych band The Dave Miller Set had a hit single in July 1969 when they covered two Sunrise album cuts, Mr. Guy Fawkes and Someone Is Sure To. In August 1969 British group Magnet released the single Let Me Stay / Mr. Guy Fawkes. In fact Magnet was the new band (1969-71) formed by Mick Cox, who had written both of these songs, although he re-recorded them in a slower and more orchestral style. Magnet's Mr. Guy Fawkes can be found on We Can Fly: Psychedelic Obscurities Volume 4. Cox toured with Arrival (1971-72) and Kokomo (1974), The Mick Cox Band (featuring Chris Stewart) recorded an album in 1973, and he played on a number of Van Morrison albums from 1980 onwards before passing away in 2008. Ernie Graham recorded a solo album backed by Brinsley Schwartz in 1971, the second Help Yourself album in 1972, two pub-rock albums by Clancy (1974, 1975) and a Phil Lynott-penned solo single, before taking up work on the railways and dying of alcoholism 2001 – all of his albums have been reissued on CD. Chris Stewart played in bands led by Terry Reid and Ronnie Lane, on two albums by Spooky Tooth (1973-1974), the aforementioned Mick Cox Band album (1973), three by Frankie Miller (1975–78), one by Eric Burdon (1980) and countless other sessions up to the early 1980s. Davy Lutton played with Heavy Jelly (1970), Ellis (two albums 1972–73), T. Rex (numerous albums 1974–77), Wreckless Eric (1978) and Chris Spedding (1978), and apparently now lives in Nashville, Tennessee. Henry McCullough played with Sweeney's Men (1968), The Grease Band (with and without Joe Cocker, 1968-71), Spooky Tooth (1970), Paul McCartney & Wings (1972-73), Frankie Miller (1975, with Chris Stewart) and released many solo albums. Tiger Taylor recorded an album with Anno Domini (1970-71) and later joined pop group The Freshmen. Peter Tolson played with The Pretty Things (1971-76) and Metropolis (1976-77). Steve Jolly joined Freedom (1971-72).

Progress is slow, but there is more to come. In the meantime there's a few things that are worth mentioning here.
Firstly, the illness and untimely death recently of Phil Chevron received considerable coverage in the press and especially in social media. This was as it should be, and somewhat undermines this site's regular gripe that Irish musicians only get praised if they're famous abroad. Notwithstanding The Pogues' success in Britain and elsewhere, Phil could not really be considered internationally famous in his own right, yet he was respected enough at home to warrant a 'testimonial' tribute concert shortly before his death, with an excellent array of musicians paying homage. Phil was instrumental in putting out The Radiators From Space's 2012 album Sound City Beat which, as noted here before, was itself a tribute to the Irish rock music Phil was inspired by in his youth.
On a sadly similar note, a fund-raising concert was held in March 2013 in support of Henry McCullough. Henry, of course, has a stellar CV, having played guitar with Eire Apparent, Sweeney's Men, The Grease Band (with and without Joe Cocker) and Paul McCartney & Wings, among others (and you can also hear him murmuring about being "really drunk" during a sound collage on Pink Floyd's Dark Side of the Moon). In recent years Henry has been a regular feature of the live blues clubs of Dublin and elsewhere, but he unfortunately suffered a massive heart attack in November of last year and required some fairly intensive treatment. It's unclear at the moment whether he is likely to return to performing, but it is worth sending positive thoughts his way and wishing him better health in the future.
Sad to report that the Sink Full Of Dishes blog appears to have disappeared. The owner of that excellent site provided some invaluable advice, support and encouragement during the planning stages of this blog, for all of which a belated public 'Thank You' is in order. The link from this site remains, purely out of a stubborn refusal to acknowledge its passing, but should the author of that site relaunch under another name it will be most welcome.
On to some better news, Derek Dean – lead singer of The Freshmen – has got in touch to say that the band's 1970 concept album Peace On Earth (the subject of the very first post on this site) is due to get a limited CD release this Christmas. This is great news as this is a very overlooked album that is very hard to track down copies of, as many readers will know. Any further developments on this will be added.
Finally, it was wonderful to hear recently from Heather Muir. Heather was the partner of Ray Elliott, a fantastic musician who was the subject of a pretty detailed post here early last year. She has been very supportive of the article, and very generous in filling in the gaps and adding her personal memories of Raymond. This has all been a very rewarding experience. A new section has been added to the page to reflect this, and more may follow.
The Bahá'í faith claims to be the youngest of the world's independent religions. In essence, in 1844 a Persian merchant named Siyyid Ali-Muhammad proclaimed himself the 'Báb' – the gateway to the Mahdi, the Twelfth Imam of Shi'a Islam who is considered to have been in hiding for a thousand years. He later declared that he himself was the Mahdi, inevitably leading to persecution from the Shah's authorities and execution by firing squad in 1850. The Báb had prophesied that 'Him Whom God Shall Make Manifest' would follow, and in due course one of his disciples, Mírzá Husayn 'Alí Núrí, known as Bahá'u'lláh (1817-1892), came to be recognised as this Messenger of God, the most recent in a line that includes Abraham, Moses, Buddha, Krishna, Zoroaster, Christ and Muhammad. In moving away from their origins in Shi'a theology and embracing aspects of all monotheistic religions, Bahá'ís emphasise that there is only one God and that all major religions have the same spiritual source; that all humans have been created equal and that diversity of race and culture are worthy of appreciation and acceptance; and that the human purpose is to learn to know and love God through such methods as prayer, reflection, and being of service to humanity. The religion gradually spread from its Persian and Ottoman roots and gained a footing in Europe and America. Currently there are five to seven million Bahá'ís worldwide, although in its Iranian heartland it currently suffers intense repression.
A visit to the website of the Bahá'í movement in Ireland reveals that it was a former Church of Ireland clergyman in the late 1940′s who first established a permanent presence here, with an influx of new followers in the early 1970s. The '70s was also the era when the Hare Krishna, Buddhist and various Born-Again Christian faiths first gained a small but durable foothold in Ireland, and also when, in a wider context, a huge number of post-hippie young people across the Western hemisphere looked to religion – rather than sex, drugs & rock 'n' roll – for spiritual enlightenment. It's this demographic of the community that is most evident on the 1978 LP Peace Will Shine, credited simply to The Irish Bahá'ís. The album is a collection of acoustic folk-rock songs with close-harmony vocals, reminding me of no-one more than Crosby, Stills & Nash and – with occasional flutes and whistles – not far removed from Trader Horne. The lyrics, aside from those specifically about figures from Bahá'í history, are filled with the aspirations for world harmony and tolerance that are very admirable parts of their faith, but which also align very strongly with the kind of music championed by the Woodstock generation. The record also invites inevitable comparisons to evangelical Christian rock, and to my ears it comes close to those faithful of a different hue, Ya Ho Wa 13.
Music is "by the Irish Bahá'ís", although more particularly the track 'Healing Prayer' was set to music by John Ford Coley, and much of the lyrics are taken from Bahá'í texts. The liner notes tell us that it was recorded in a three-day session at Middle 8 Studio, but neither the musicians nor the lead singers are identified. The producer, however, is named as Jack Costelloe. The Irish Rock Discography suggests that Jack Costello and Guido DeVito from late '60s Limerick rockers Granny's Intentions may have been involved, but this isn't evident from listening to the music. The LP was released on the (apparently one-off) Hyacinth Records label (B134/1) and has become highly collectable due more to its scarcity than to high regard for the contents. That said, it's a decent record and well worth hearing if the above musical references or the Bahá'í faith pique your interest. This is another case where I'm reposting contents from elsewhere on the web – in this case from Epeli's site the linked below – which will explain why track 11 is missing and can't be added for the time being

For most Irish people it's probably difficult, in 2013, to listen to a song with a chorus proclaiming "Glory, Glory to the Provos" without a sense of unease, but 1973 was a very different world in many ways. The Northern Irish civil rights movement had led to a confrontation between the local Unionist government and factions of the republican movement who saw their role as defenders of an oppressed minority, and the polarising effect of this was to stir the patriotic sentiments of very many nationalist Irish people. The gruesome and traumatic events of 1974 would serve to undermine the heroic image of the competing Northern armed groups to a large extent but before all that there was one particular attention-grabbing stunt staged on 31 October 1973 which captured the imagination of the nationalist community.
In September Seamus Twomey, Chief of Staff of the Provisional ('Provo') faction of the IRA had been jailed by the Irish Republic's government in Mountjoy Prison, where he joined senior republicans J.B. O'Hagan and Kevin Mallon. Plans immediately went into action to break all three men out and a man with an American accent hired a helicopter at Dublin Airport, ostensibly for an aerial photo shoot in County Laois. The helicopter and pilot were hijacked and forced to land in the exercise yard of the prison where Twomey, Mallon and O'Hagan boarded the helicopter and escaped to safe houses. The daring escape made headlines around the world and was hugely embarrassing for the government. Mallon was recaptured in December 1973 (he escaped again in August 1974), O'Hagan was recaptured in early 1975, and Twomey in December 1977, but the audacious nature of the escape prompted republican folk group The Wolfe Tones to release a single called 'The Helicopter Song' which managed to top the Irish charts in spite of a government ban.
Meanwhile, lesser-known folk band The Freemen issued their own vinyl tribute to the episode, titled 'The Flight From Mountjoy'. As can be guessed from the chorus, the song is unequivocal in its support for the Provisionals, and the Beal Feirste label (Belfast, as geailge) seems to have released just four singles, three of them by The Freemen, and all militantly republican. That this song was not a hit when The Wolfe Tones' was can only be put down to bad luck or lack of promotion considering the content and style of both were much the same. The song was written by McGinley/Freeman and both sides were produced by The Freemen.
The 'B'-side was 'The Ballad of Billy Reid', a cover of a fairly well-known republican song written by Brian Lyons (and also recorded by The Wolfe Tones, among others). Billy Reid was another member of the Provisional IRA, and is believed to have shot dead the first on-duty British soldier to be killed in Ireland since the 1920s, in Belfast on 6 February 1971, and in so doing provoked an all-out war between the Provos and previously (officially) neutral British army. A few months later, in May 1971, an army patrol was ambushed in Belfast and Billy Reid was killed in the subsequent shoot-out. Lyons' ballad emphasises the view that Reid was an heroic victim, thus earning a place on the list of martyrs to the republican cause.
The enigmatic Freemen left behind a number of singles that will be offensive to some, patriotic to others, but they offer us a glimpse of one of the more bloody and divisive periods in Ireland's turbulent history.

Park was ok. Manager was nice. Came in late - left early, but seemed like an ok place to stay. - Lazy Bear
Basically a mobile home park that allows overnighters. Busy street next to park. Park is a little long in the tooth including the showers, but they are free and they work. $2 charge for Wi-Fi. - Thedogsma
I found this campground through the Kingman Visitor Bureau. No website. Called to make reservations (none taken). OK for overnight stay, but dusty, lots of permanent residents, and close to busy street. Has a nice-looking pool, but found out (too late after a hot drive) that it closes at 6:00 PM! Price was OK and close to where we wanted to be and near a big shopping area, but would probably not stay there again. Address: 2360 Airway Avenue Kingman, AZ 86409 - looker

Good for overnighters. The outer perimeter is mostly long term but management apparently makes everyone play by the same rules so no trashy sites here. The interior is for short stay and everything worked great as well as excellent wifi. Has a pool but didn't use. Washer and dryer reasonable at a buck for wash and seventy five cents for dry. Spaces are red lava rock and they rake it every time someone leaves. Road noise surprisingly not bad. Would stay here again. - rustandmoss
Great place to stay. Everything was clean and everyone was really nice and helpful. We stayed 5 days and will stay again. We recommend - boise gap
Sites nowhere level. Dog "run" extremely small. Only smallest of dog could actually run. Lots of aggressive sounding signage using lots of "!!!" marks following rule. Signage could have softer sound and still get the point across. They do not sell ice. Was told to get ice from Chevron store which was about 1-1/2 blocks away. We don't tow so the walk there in 100 degree temps did not make us happy campers. We'll look for alternative parks on our next trip to Kingman. - Kittygramma

Personnel very friendly and helpful. Lots of road noise as park is by interstate. Dusty as on dirt. Full hookups with long pull through sites. Does have WiFi but it was slow. Good for overnight. Need to know where you are going or could turn onto frontal road instead of second road into the park. We would probably stay again. - Jerryws98516
Great little park; really nice managers; clean and right off the main highway 93, just an hour and a half from Las Vegas. - redwoodoxie
We traveled a few extra miles on our way to Vegas to get our "Good Sam" discount, and were so glad we did. A lovely site with beautiful surroundings, very quiet and some great trails around the camp. A really helpful and friendly manager despite us turning up after closing. The facilities are excellent with a great lounge area full of games, books, and films. There has been a lot of work put into making this a welcoming site and we would have stayed much longer if we had the time - I would definitely return. One of our best stops in our 2 month travels. - clariceb

Clean, convenient easy-access. Clean, reasonably priced laundry. Very nice hosts. Escort to site. Utilities and cable work well. WiFi did not work, despite the 11 towers in the park. Would definitely stay again. - Doogiesmom
Friendly, clean, safe, and a great miniature golf area for families. Sites were a little close together, but the bushes between the sites provided enough privacy. - Wanda H
Cleanest, nicest bathrooms we have ever experienced at a KOA. Site nicely shaded with trees and oleander bushes. Over 70 cable channels, good WiFi and. 4G Verizon cell service. Well stocked store. New electrical service in our row (#113) meant solid 120 volts even though weather quite warm and everyone running their ac. Super front office...friendly and welcoming.

Using our Passport America discount we paid $17.50 and were assigned one of the drive through sites. We had 50 amp, full hookups although the sewer was way at the back of the site and situated in such a way that it was almost uphill from the camper. The campsites are tight with very little room between them and some kind of discount Marriott motel overlooks the campground from across the street. Still, for an overnight stay the campground works just fine. The restrooms were clean, the roads are paved, the interstate is just a couple of minutes away, and the sites are pretty level. The campground offers free WiFi but I found it very slow and went back to my Verizon 4G. For an "in town†RV park that can be had for the PPA price it is just fine for an overnight stop. - nazpaz
Nice small Passport America park. All utilities at back of site, which made it a little difficult with car attached. Good for an overnight. Will stay again if traveling through the area. - PugetSound
Over-night, on-the-road campsite was just what we wanted! Quiet, and very clean with friendly, courteous check-in clerk. We were fortunate to get site 46, end pull-through which held our 41' RV towing Jeep. Hook-ups at back of site need very long sewer hose for rigs such as ours. Rate reflects Passport America discount. - floridagayle

Rate based on monthly stay. You put a deposit down and there in very, very small print that if you are leaving you have to give 10 days notice to get deposit back. It was a wash because it was hot & we ran the AC a lot. OK place to stay and they give lots of discounts to various memberships. - PugetSound
Nice place. Nice office greeter. Minimal train noise compared to other RV sites in Kingman. We will be back. - zzzya
After climbing the 6 % grade west of Kingman take exit 51 or 53 off I-40 to four lane Airway Ave., which leads to easy in and out for a big rig at Zuni. The park is in a commercial area convenient to most franchise, grocery, drug, or fuel stores that anyone could want. Registration is friendly and easy. Landscape is appropriate to the high desert. Pine trees, well trimmed, are between sites. Sites are wide, and there is good space between sites. There are permanents here in their own area. The pool was empty, we assume, because of the time of year. The roads are paved. The sites are near level graded from the packed sand desert soil. Cable TV had a maximum of channels. Wi-Fi was strong with no problem. The bathrooms, showers, and washers are at the main office on Airway Ave. The clean bathrooms have a code lock on the door. We like this park, but we give this park a 7 compared to the 10's where we have stayed. We have stayed here several times, and we will stay here again. - feral cat

February known as month for meteors
The trail of a falling object is seen above a residential apartment block in the Urals city of Chelyabinsk, in this still image taken from video shot on Feb. 15. (REUTERS/ Spetszakaz)
Fireballs the size of the one seen in central Russia are relatively rare, but are more expected when February rolls around.
"Smaller meteor fireballs are actually quite common, and curiously enough, the frequency of meteor fireballs is typically 10 percent to 30 percent higher in February than in other months for reasons that are unknown," said Dr. Jody Wilson, a research scientist at the University of New Hampshire's Space Science Center.
The so-called "Fireball February" phenomenon has been known since the 1960s, Wilson said.
It proved frightening Friday when countless video cameras and others mounted on car dashboards captured stunning images of a 10-ton meteor streaking across the Russian sky. The fireball that left a white trail hanging in the sky created an intense sonic boom that blew out windows and caused other building damage, leaving more than 1,000 people injured.
The meteor mayhem came on the same day that a 150-foot-wide asteroid passed dangerously close to Earth at 2:24 p.m. The asteroid was not believed to be linked to the Russian meteor.
"Simply based on the direction the fireball was traveling over Russia, which was approximately north to south, it had to have been in a very different orbit from (the asteroid), which is flying by the Earth in an approximately south to north direction," Wilson said.
The Russian meteor created panic and renewed fears of an end-of-the-world event just like one in 1908 that hit Siberia, flattening trees over 800 square miles and sending people running to holy shrines and monasteries to pray.
Wilson said the amount of damage caused by impacting meteorites depends mostly on the size of the meteoroid.
On any given night, Wilson said one can see several harmless meteors in the sky per hour caused by falling objects that are smaller than a grain of sand.
"At the other extreme, a 10-mile wide asteroid hitting the Earth can cause a global mass extinction such as the one that killed the dinosaurs," he said.
Wilson said 10-foot-wide objects - roughly the size of the Russian meteor - hit the Earth about once every year.
Life-threatening impacts are rare, and while they do happen, "there is so much uninhabited land and ocean on the Earth that it's more likely they will hit where nobody even sees them."

We design stuff.
Our triumph is in making your stuff not just look good
but work good. Designs forged with an information architecture
based in logic and expressed through art,
blossoming into beautiful experiences that reveal
the right emotion of your message.
A restaurant site performs very different functions depending on the context. While the desktop experience of Wok&Roll features a fuller landing view, we wanted any mobile visitors to get quick access to contact information. That said, we didn't want to shun mobile users with a substandard experience, so the full visual experience of the Wok & Roll site is just a tap away.
Fashion designer Aruna Arya needed her site to give a visual peek at the kind of garments and accessories she has at her store. Aided by gorgeous photography provided by Aruna, we coded the site along a curtains based story mode which requires only one interaction from the user: to scroll.
In addition to maintaining The Organic Farming Association of India's online presence, Hash Cookies also aids the production of The Living Field newsletter periodical, sent to thousands of indigenous farmers across the nation. Even though the magazine is space constrained, we've used large typography for easy readability considering its target audience. Hash Cookies also formulated a brand new 'digital edition' of the same newsletter, designed for laptop and tablet screens.
Goa's best known environmental organisation
Hash Cookies maintains the online properties of The Goa Foundation, including keeping their facebook page in tune with the current generation.
A website for one of Goa's top DJs.
A single scroll parallaxed page to condense Dj Claudio's information, including his work on mixCloud and upcoming gigs.
South East Asian Restaurant in Sinquerim
Hash Cookies helped Wok & Roll display their journey, their beautiful menu and their place in this simple yet elegant website.
The nation's biggest network of grassroots organic farmers.
OFAI is a vast resource that needed to be condensed in a simplest user interface possible. Hash Cookies also does the layout for their "Living Field" print publication, which now includes a digital edition.
A website for a graphic designer specialised in print and corporate design.
We essentially created two websites, one as a single portfolio page to highlight her favourite work, and another projects view which condenses all of her work in with a quick and fluid navigation.
Yoga and wellness retreat.
Swastanga uses Hash Cookies to create their training manuals and other materials.
Fashion Designer Aruna Arya's online face
After Aruna supplied us with gorgeous photography from a shoot, we decided to go with a curtains like scrolling user interface with various fades to give a rich experience. Hash Cookies also designed a blog based on the Tumblr platform.
Award winning Naturalist and Photographer Rahul Alvares
Given the breathtaking nature photography, the visual impact of the site had to be 'huge'. Hash Cookies also designs Rahul's posters and other marketing materials.
The worksite of Dr. Claude Alvares.
A word heavy blog, we decided to keep the clutter down and focus on what's important: the words. The site is also completely responsive down to the smallest mobile screens, and uses Ajax to load articles without a page refresh.
Well reputed design studio from Mumbai.
The Faction brought in designs, Hash Cookies coded their renders.
Property Consultants
A website with condensed information, including specialised pages for core functions of the company.
Celebrate your lifestyle with privilege club
Club Goa needed something animated, fun, giving a holiday feel. We designed a single page edge to edge 'scene', and since it doesn't use flash, it also works great on tablets and mobile devices.
The /community initiative is about giving back to our community in the smallest ways that we can. In fact, 5% of our operating profits are going to be dedicated to aiding our community work. Our last job involved getting down and dirty with filthy garbage dumped along the beautiful village of Anjuna. And the next one's always coming up.
If you're in Goa and would like to participate in such events, we'd love for you to join us. Don't worry, we won't use you to pimp our brand. We don't intend to use this as a promotional drive, and our brand stays far from our work. Follow our Facebook page or submit your email in the form below for updates on future events (this mailing list is for /community related updates only).
"Gravity release me,
And don't ever hold me down
Now my feet won't touch the ground."

Sample Report
Launch party: Saturday, July 21st from 6 to 8 PM
Quint Contemporary Art (QCA) is pleased to announce a summer series of short exhibitions. A
large portion of the gallery will be under renovation and we will be using a portion of our space
to introduce new artists, and showcase artists we have worked with in the past.
The first exhibition, which opens July 21st will focus on new figurative paintings by Los Angelesbased
artist John Millei. An abstract painter who up until recently had not used the figurative in
his paintings, John Millei is now ready to explore painting built out of abstract marks that in the
end come together to resemble a human head. The portraits are unrecognizable as any
particular person and the colors do not relate to human flesh. Portraits of You are paintings that
render the world metaphorically, in which scale is discontinuous, space is abstract, and form
more idealized.
On August 10th and continuing through August 25th we are excited to showcase works on paper
by artist Kim MacConnel, spanning ten years from 1973 to 1982. These pieces are gouache on
paper studies of MacConnel's large-scale fabric paintings and large scale paintings. The works
on paper stand-alone as exquisite examples of MacConnel's interest in pattern and design.
Starting August 28th we will present a group of works on paper that will include work by Peter
Alexander, Robert Irwin, Sol Lewitt, Ed Moses and David Reed among others.
The SUMMER SERIES kicks off with a public reception on Saturday, July 21st from 6 to 8PM. Artist
John Millei will be in attendance. MIHO Gastrot

Rare baby Sumatra rhinoceros named a 'gift from God'
An endangered Sumatran rhino, which became Saturday only the fourth birth in captivity in more than a century, was named Andatu.

RHINO: Forestry Minister Zulkifli Hasan said he had picked the name "Andatu" for the male calf, which was born at an Indonesian sanctuary, on the southern tip of Sumatra island. (Photo: Indonesian Ministry Of Forestry/AFP)
A critically endangered Sumatran rhinoceros, which became Saturday only the fourth birth in captivity in more than a century, was named Monday a "gift from God."
Forestry Minister Zulkifli Hasan said he had picked the name "Andatu" for the male calf, which was born at an Indonesian sanctuary, on the southern tip of Sumatra island.
"Andatu" combines parts of its parents' name, Andalas the father and mother Ratu, and refers to "Anugerah Dari Tuhan," or Gift from God in Indonesian, he jubilantly told a press conference.
"Andatu is the most appropriate choice" he said. "His birth is a milestone in the conservation of Sumatran rhinos and will build public confidence of rhino conservation efforts in our country," he added.
Conservationist Widodo Ramono recalled the anxious moments before delivery.
"We were all watching it from the CCTV, nobody made a sound. But the moment we saw the calf, everyone burst into screams. It was louder than seeing a player score a goal in a football match," he said.
"We hope Ratu will eventually have five calves. For Andalas, we hope to mate him with other females," Ramono said.
Ratu and Andalas were paired in 2009 at the sanctuary, two years after Andalas was brought from the United States at the Cincinnati Zoo in Ohio for a breeding program.
Andalas was born in September 2001, making him the first Sumatran rhino delivered in captivity in 112 years.
Ratu grew up in the wild but wandered out of the forest and now lives at the Sumatran Rhino Sanctuary in Way Kambas National Park.
The 12-year-old lost her first pregnancy after two months and her second after less than a month. She gave birth after a 16-month pregnancy.
Before Andalas, the last Sumatran rhino born in captivity was in the Calcutta Zoo in India in 1889, according to the Rhino Resource Center, a British reference website.
Sumatran rhinos have suffered a 50 percent drop in population numbers over the past 20 years. There are now believed to be fewer than 200 alive in Southeast Asia.
They are victims of poaching and of the destruction of their habitat. According to environmentalists, 5 million acres of forests are lost every year in Indonesia.

The hegemony of the British establishment had to be challenged. Education had to play a new role in this changed scenario. It had to become a new form of resistance through which the emergent nationalist spirit could be propagated. With this in mind the National Council of Education (NCE) came into being.

- lotuslandDined on 11/21/2014Pleasant evening with good food, excelent service and all around fun night. Candice our server is without doubt the best I have had the pleasure,during my 71 years on this earth, of ensuring our evening was most enjoyable for my wife and I. The only negative comment I could make was the hard time finding a parking spot at 18:30.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- JennyDined on 11/21/2014I took my daughter to the keg for her 19th birthday. From the moment we walked in the door until the moment we left she was treated like a queen and made to feel very special. We had a terrific time. The service was very quick. The steaks were cooked to perfection and the atmosphere was really terrificSpecial Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- Great Night OutWW63Dined on 11/8/2014It was a great experience right from the start. The staff were pleasant,accommodating and fun, from changing our table to recommendations on the wine list. Excellent service and great food. Love that Billy Miner Pie!Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- sookiedinersDined on 11/2/2014Great food great service would love to have a Keg in the Colwood/Langford area.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- Very average evening.Localfoodlover1Dined on 10/29/2014In fairness, this has not happened in the past, BUT, the service the evening of October 29th at the Keg on Quadra, received by our party of three was so poor that we really will have to think long and hard about returning. From the confusion at the front end, to the awkwardness in getting a table, to the waiter explaining that he was "excruciatingly" busy, our reservation clearly was not as important to the serving staff as in the past. Food quality and tastes were very good, so kudos to the kitchen. Most of us can create great food and tastes in our own homes. We go out to dine to be made to feel special and to be served with smiles and efficiency. This was no where to be found during dinner that evening.Special Features:
- Nana9Dined on 10/27/2014Enjoyed very good prime rib, perfect med. rare. My friend also enjoyed her steak and it was perfectly cooked.I would recommend this to a friend.
- DinnerOpenTable Diner Since 2014Dined on 10/24/2014Wife and I go out not to often , so we decided to give the keg a try as we did years a go, found the service good, the food was plenty for what we ordered, sure would be nice to see the salad bar back again like it use to be. Found the prices a little on the high side for some items, we also found that we felt rushed , we ordered our meals which came with salad, we had ordered an app. as well we barely got started on our salads and our hot apps came, would have enjoyed it more if it was spaced out more as we had wine and would have like to talk more between courses.Special Features:
- serviceDavidHDined on 10/23/2014The server was very personable and never needed any prompting for needs. He was aware of all situations during our meal and after meal service. A very competent and efficient waiter. You are fortunate to have such a person on your staff.Special Features:
- OkAbbywonkenobeDined on 10/23/2014Music too loud, children should have children only area, in and out in an hour which I felt a bit rushed. My husbands steak was not re, mine was nice but not as melting in my mouth as I had expected. Taste was goodSpecial Features:
- An event, like always.wmcduffDined on 10/15/2014The Keg is pricey, but excellent. Thick steaks, tasty sides, well done accompaniments, good atmosphere. Too much to go every night, but fine for a celebration.Special Features:
- Great service, pricey foodsanchoDined on 10/9/2014The most outstanding element is the service. Other restaurants should send their waiters to take courses at the Keg. The steak was excellent taste-wise, but side items were just two - a potato and a few green beans - sort of simple and lacking fantasy. I seems the chief dealing with the steaks is a great pro, but the person who decides the side items needs to learn more. I liked the posters on the walls! Overall only the prices will stop me from coming again.
- Huh?SeniortastetesterDined on 9/28/2014Poorest quality prime rib I have ever had in 45 yrs. of dining. Nowhere near the standards I would expect from the Keg. The food here is deteriorating every visit. Only thing I enjoy is local fresh produce dishes :(Special Features:
- snowfall1Dined on 9/20/2014My husband and I had not visited the Keg for a few years, and we thought we would try it again. WOW!! we had an awesome dinner !!! Everything was perfection, from entering and being escorted right to our table to the impeccable service we received. The ambience is romantic and comfortable, the wait staff was great, and our dinner was presented in classic style. Thankyou, Keg !!! we definitely will return. The food was delicious, exquisite prime rib dinner. 5 Stars plus two.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- DecentOpenTable Diner Since 2014Dined on 9/20/2014Everything was top notch except the green beans and the potato I had were a little over cooked, not so much that it was not enjoyed. Portion sizes for vegie and sides a little small. Everything else was greatSpecial Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- Hit and missJaguar1962Dined on 9/6/2014We went several month ago and the food was excellent ! come back for our 5 anniversary and the food wasn't great as the several months ago . really disappointed , the service was excellent , nothing to complain about it My beer was flat , the keg was empty , no more Heineken , not really into local breweries The Au jus tasteless , the 16 oz rib eye chewy no flavor ( the silver skin) still attached to the meat So the whole experience with keg was disappointing. it is going to take me sometime to digest this experienceSpecial Features:
- Great food!FoodieMomDined on 9/3/2014I was impressed how family friendly it was though I think a little more thought ahead for the hostess team could have been good. We booked through OT and mentioned having 2 small kids with us. We arrived a few minutes late and they clearly knew what table we were going to right away, but once we were shown the table it have huge steal knives all over that my kids could have easily grab be and the high chair and booster were not ready so we had to wait and scramble a bit upon arrival to move all things that our kids could have damaged or hurt themselves with. If you get the details before the table should have been ready accordingly. Server Jordan was great and up sold us well, and the good was perfect and quick.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- Great Dinner in VictoriaAllanDined on 8/30/2014We had the lobster special and the steak special. It was a great meal with salad to share, and some great side dishes which we could both share. This was a good alternative to the more touristy downtown Victoria, with Ample parking. Advice setting a reservation as this is popular in the neighborhood. Not much window view, and inside is a bit dark.Special Features:
- First Night out in a long timeAnniversaryWorthyDined on 8/30/2014It was our anniversary dinner and we had not been out without the kids in a long time so were looking forward to our night out, maybe we were a little picky since we had not been out in a long time. Dirty wine glasses, asked for new ones. Husbands drink was made with bourbon and not gin like he asked. Ordered an appetizer that was not even delivered. When host delivered our dinner we asked about it and he said that he would look into it. It ended up coming 10 minutes after our main course was finished. Thought we might receive a small discount or complimentary appy but in the end we had to pay for both the messed up drink and the missed appetizer. $150 Bill Next time we will go somewhere else for our 1 night out a week.Special Features:
- Good service but noisyNoisyDined on 8/30/2014Good service but noisy making it difficult to hear.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.

- kids menu4fordinnerDined on 8/28/2014A little disappointed with the kids meal, as they ordered their meal, they did not get a veggie appy, as we seen other tables with kids and they received a veggie appy and we did not, we have in the past.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- CurlyDined on 8/16/2014One of the meals was incorrect but server admitted it was her error and it was corrected immediately and they could not do enough for us to make it up. Excellent meal and serviceSpecial Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- Everything was great!IslandEaterDined on 8/13/2014The food was great, the service was great. Very good experience! They even recognized it was someone's Bday dinner and gave them a dessert present! Totally unexpected and it made the evening. A Keg night is always a good night in my books!Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- KegKegAug11Dined on 8/11/2014The food was good but one definitely needs to be a steak eater to enjoy it. The service was excellent! Our server was attentive, friendly and personable and made sure we were well attended to but didn't annoy us with his presence.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.

- New visit to the kegBaysinerDined on 7/11/2014Haven't been to the Keg for a couple of years. Decided we needed a nice diner with friends. Our server was excellent.

A Milwaukee woman who showed up at a Brookfield church Sunday toting a loaded Glock 9mm handgun told parishioners she was doing so to make a point.
But members of the Unitarian Universalist Church West made a point of their own when they called police on the woman, who was arrested after driving away with the gun on the passenger seat of her vehicle.
According to Brookfield police:
The incident happened during the 9:15 a.m. service at the church, 13001 W. North Ave., when the 41-year-old woman arrived carrying the gun on her hip and kept it there throughout the service.
After the service, parishioners asked the woman why she had brought the gun. She replied, "To make a point."
The woman then placed the gun in a zippered case and put it on the front seat of her vehicle. She started to drive away, but was stopped by officers who had been called by church members.
She was arrested for transporting a loaded weapon.
After this article was published in Brookfield NOW and on BrookfieldNOW.com, the woman called NOW and said she never said the quote attributed to her in the police report. She declined to comment further.

Burritos like they have in San Diego
My friend is from San Diego and he claims that burritos are a different breed down there. In San Diego, the standard burrito comes without rice and beans -- just meat, pico de gallo, and a few other ingredients. You can get rice and beans if you order them, but that is extra. It's a good burrito, no question. In LA, the normal burrito seems to have rice and beans. Perhaps this is a regional difference? Do you know places that make San Diego-style burritos? I know I could probably just order a burrito without rice and beans, but I suspect that they probably prepare the meat, etc. in a different way, too. My friend insists that San Diego-style burritos cannot be found in LA, but I struggle to believe that.
"In LA, the normal burrito seems to have rice and beans. Perhaps this is a regional difference?"
No, you just have to know where to go. I would say that almost all of the *non-Americanized* Mexican joints in L.A. will have several burritos on the menu that don't come with rice and beans.
What places have you tried so far? Where do you live?
My favorite is Yuca's, in Los Feliz. Their burritos are actually square and somewhat flat, but it's just meat, onions and cilantro (and I think you can get cheese, not sure tho).
A couple weeks ago, we had someone lamenting that a "Mission Style" burrito (WITH rice and beans) could not be found around here. Now this!
I agree with Joe Blowe; you should have no trouble finding a burrito without rice and beans if you go to a taco house---or truck---that isn't a chain. Even some of the chains, like King Taco, serve burritos just as you've requested.
I always order my burritos without rice and beans if I know they are included, and thus I am assured that I get the freshest product available, and one that satisfies my tastes.
Use that logic at any fast food restaurant like ordering something without cheese or tomatoes, or whatever the ingredient that might offend - works every time - a freshly made item.
re: carter
Uh, yeah, that's why I get my Taco Bell burrito supreme without onions! And why I always order my fries well done, although I actually prefer them that way.
To keep it on topic, Campos (20th/Pico in Santa Monica) has an all-meat burrito option but I never get it because I prefer the hard shell turkey tacos and/or the avocado burrito which is full of beans but thankfully no rice. I don't really like rice in a burrito.
I'm not a fan of rice or lettuce (yech!), etc., but I like a little bit of refried beans in my burritos. I think the creaminess of the beans is a nice foil to the meat and spice. In any event, the claim that "San Diego style" burritos cannot be found in LA is nonsense. Proximity to the boarder notwithstanding, I think the quality and variety (regional, etc.) of Mexican restaurants in LA is substantially better than in San Diego.
Your buddy needs to look for a Roberto's/Alberto's/-erto's clone "taco shop" and you're correct in noting that not only are the beans and rice automatically left out, the meats are spiced and prepared differently, as are the salsa and the flour tortillas.
L.A. proper, I'm not sure where to go. Benito's attempts to copy the formula, but fails. I know there's an Alberto's in the Lomita/Harbor City area, but it's pretty awful. I spotted another one down in Long Beach a little while ago, I think this is the address if you want to investigate:
Alberto's Mexican Food
1770 W Pacific Coast Hwy
Long Beach, CA 90810
Down in OC, Elmomonster did a review of Alerto's in Fountain Valley. It's exactly what you're looking for:
According to the Roberto's website, there's one in Ontario: 765 Milliken Avenue, Suite #B Ontario, (909)948-8818
Hope this helps. :-)
re: petradish
Native San Diegan weighing in here on the burrito topic. The burrito the OPs friend was talking about is most likely carne asada. It is most commonly served as is with some guac and pico. Oh......and sometimes they add french fries at which point is becomes a "California" burrito.
David Kahn is correct when he notes that San Diego lacks the diversity and quality of Mexican restaurants as in Los Angeles. This is mostly because for years San Diego was a "pass-thru" stop. Meaning that most immigrants just passed through San Diego on their way to L.A. or points east, and didn't put down roots or heritage in SD. That, of course, has been changing in the last decade or so. There are a number of growing good to very good Mexican restaurants in San Diego these days.
Petradish is also correct about Roberto's. This is a family owned taqueria that's been around in SD for a long time and as the family has grown so have their outlets. They kind of pioneered carne asada burritos in San Diego. Though they now operate a central kitchen that produces a lot of their products, some stores are better than others. And, as the family has squabbled, other "berto" taquerias have beenopened up by family members. Alberto's, Rigoberto's, Aliberto's, Adalberto's, chances are good in San Diego that it's a owned and operated by someone in the extended family. I'm not sure, however, how safe it would be to assume that a taqueria ending in "berto" outside of SD would be run by the same family. It's certainly possible.
Here's a link to a couple of recent discussions about carne asada burritos in San Diego. http://beta.chowhound.com/topics/show... and http://beta.chowhound.com/topics/show...
It's a semi-regular topic on the CA board, which is why I'm willing to bet a CAB (carne asada burrito) that this is what the OPs friend was talking about :-)
This thread is making me flash-back to my days in the dorms at UCSD - midnight runs with a bunch of us down to the Roberto's (or was it Albertos?) in Solana Beach. Carne Asada Burritos, rolled tacos oh and those Chorizo Burritos, OMG!)
It's true those carne asada burritos in SD are really really good.
Those were the days, those were the days...
