Brookdale Lodge in Question (OT)--Y2K2 Looping Festival

["Gary Lehmann" <healthquestrecruiter@earthlink.net>]

A recap--
Chris Roberts recently received some good natured ribbing from Mark
Sottilaro concerning certain questionable lodging recommended for the Santa
Cruz thing--
My partner observed, "They aren't spending a lot of money keeping it up."
She also said, "No wonder no President since Herbert Hoover has stayed
there."
The folks behind the counter were flat out rude when I checked out on 
Monday
(before the traditional brunch--good food, great company.)
We couldn't make it back to San Diego in one day--we took Highway 1 and
caught Point Lobos on Rick Walker's recommendation--Lucia was also very
beautiful (got a sample of baby birds chirping whilst being fed).
Stayed in Santa Maria at the Holiday Inn last night and it was very new and
corporate--and the same price ($99) as the Lodge--but no redwoods!
Nice to meet, play for, and listen to everybody--
Gary
