[concert] OZOMATLI, Burlington Vermont

Sunday, March 22nd, 2009

On Saturday night we checked out the OZOMATLI show at Higher Ground. I hadn’t listened to them much before the show but it was a great time and their latin/world/funk/hip hop/jazz sound was definitely unique. You may recognize them from one of the older iTunes commercials:

Ozomatli is a hip-hop group formed in 1996 in Los Angeles, known as much for their extremely vocal activist viewpoints as their wide array of musical styles. Ozomatli take their name from the Nahuatl word for the Aztec astrological symbol of the monkey, which is also a god of dance, fire, the new harvest, and music.

The members of the band met through their affiliation with the Peace and Justice Center of Los Angeles, and their first performance was for picketers during a strike. They began their career in the Los Angeles and San Diego/Mexico border-area club scene. (Last.fm)

Opening for OZOMATLI was Parker, House and Theory… these guys rocked too…. check them out:

This was the last show of the 2008 Burlington waterfront concert series.  We brought Toby with us (his 2nd concert) who barked like crazy during his favorite song which got him some attention and a shout out from Mr. Costa himself.

here are a couple Matt Costa video clips:

Epic Day at Stowe

Sunday, January 6th, 2008

What a great way to start off 2008. Below are some of the highlights from a day of riding at Stowe, Vermont. In the morning we took advantage of the sunny groomers… in the afternoon we hiked to the summit of Mansfield and took a run down the Rock Garden.

Crippling vs. Nasty Mix

Saturday, December 15th, 2007

Not exactly sure which forecast is worse… is it “Crippling” or “Nasty Mix”?  Regardless… this 12-18 inches should keep us on pace for an excellent riding season and maybe even open up “The Chin” (@ Stowe) in December!

Happy Monday!

The Nocternal Barista

Monday, November 19th, 2007

Coffee BeanDuring a recent stop at a local coffee shop the Barista explains “I woke up and had to be in here at 6:30am this morning and am incredibly tired… I like to stay up really late so I am NOT really much of a morning person you know”

Oh the irony, either it’s time to revise the old career path or the coffee shop management needs to mandate free quadruple espresso shots for any employee that’s tired/late/etc! Wake up!
