Local Loco's

Last night a bunch of us (read: most of us) went to the blues jam at local loco's, a music and arts cafe (http://www.locallocos.com/home.html).

"Located just off the beaten path of Powell River’s busy downtown commercial district, Local Loco’s provides an escape from the ordinary where creativity and self-expression thrives. The cafe serves healthy, beautifully prepared dishes, as well as an assortment of healthy beverages including herbal teas, real fruit smoothies, and maté (a healthy alternative to coffee).The decor of the cafe is comprised of consigned artwork from the numerous artisans throughout the region. Additional ambience is provided by live music from Powell River’s many talented musicians as well as various acts touring up the coast.Local Loco’s works to promote self-sustainablity by growing vegetables and herbs organically for use in the menu and producing as little waste as possible by maintaining a strict recycling program.Become a part of Local Loco’s by sharing in the enjoyment of art, music, and healthy living!"

After a wonderful evening, Gillian and I enjoyed a lovely long walk home. Sometimes I find I get so caught in the efficiency of cycling that I forget how nice walking can be. We returned 'home' to the Rugby Club to find the room lit by bike lights and the team circled around fresh baked cookies having an intimate conversation.

Life is Good.
