30 lbs of free fruit !!
i do love the fruit.. but i love FREE fruit even more ;) my neighbor has an abundant tangerine tree, that for some reason is a nuisance for him… !!! i guess most people see fruit as something that falls of the tree, clutters the lawn, rots, then has to get raked up to be thrown away ;( bummer… for them, score for me! this is my second laundry basket full of fruit this season, and there are at least 2 more full baskets on the tree. its a race now to see if i can juice them faster than they fall of the tree..
it works out best for everyone, my neighbor loves the fact that i am cleaning up his yard and getting rid of the pesky fruit. and i score 30lbs of tangerines each basket,, at 2.99/lb organic pricing, thats $90 of free fruit today– can’t beat that! i just juiced about 30 of the little guys, it was like drinking sweet sweet syrup ,,mmmmmm i got all that i could grab with a small step stool,, will have to go back with a ladder next time to get the top ones.. seems the higher i got up, the bigger and juicer they got, so i am looking forward to the top pickins!!
big tangerine tree,,!!
the neighbor behind this neighbor had a beautiful tree that was in super bloom at the moment.. i thinks its a cherry tree…?? correct me if im wrong… maybe it will produce cherries that i can harvest too!!
cheery trees ar sooo purrty
please make me a cherry mr. cherry blossom
on the band side of things…. ITS TIME TO TOUR!! we have decided to hit the road in mid-may and head up and down the west coast! i am quite excited as this will be the first brightmillion official tour. i am trying to get 15-20 shows in a 3 week period. if anyone knows of a good place to play in your area, let us know! we are gonna go out may 14th to june 3rd give or take a few days!! i’ve never booked a tour before, i dont know how bookers do it, ,,, so many contacts, emails, clubs, dates, etc all to keep organized and then to get all the shows on the right dates, so we are not driving all the way to san francisco one day and back to san diego the next and then back to sacramento.. etc…. what maze!! oh yeah, if you know of any booking agents that work with independent bands,,, let me know =)
so far we got an LA date booked, but thats it! not much of a tour yet…. but it should shape up real quick once things get rolling here.. we are also looking for TOUR SPONSORS !!! if you , your company or you know of someone,,, we’ll be hitting at least 15 cities on the tour and would love to show your banner, wear your shirt, give away your products etc, in exchange for even the most modest of tour support (some food, gas money, a place to stay one night on the tour,etc)! also gotta get a tour vehicle lined up.. as you know, the brightmillion van is sketchy at best, i barely trust it to go 10 miles away let alone 1500 miles on a tour… so not sure about that one yet,, rent a van,, rent an rv? fix the brightmillion van? buy an old school bus? soo many options.. ideas??
we have some local los angeles shows coming up:
march 25th @ old towne pub / pasadena
apr 10th – @ tribal cafe / echo park – all ages, free
apr 24 @ kibitz room / hollywood – free!
its been rainy here in la so i’m looking forward to some sunshine! although i know the garden is appreciating all the rain. i gave away 10 more chicory plants today to a fellow gardener in the area. come and get more people! lots and lots of seedlings started right now, a 72 tray of romaine just sprouted… tomatoes looking nice and sturdy, cucumbers growing like mad, wanting to go outside! i am keeping the celery flats nice and moist,,, eagerly waiting to see if they actually sprout…. the tension is building… everytime we buy another celery at the store to juice, i get more and more anxious to grow our own!!!
