Boogie on Down


Friday night was the fiesta for issue 7 of Fanzine Ruido. I wanted to go, so did my husband, and it was too late for our son.

We got lucky at someone else’s expense. Our friends Helen and Theresa wanted to go too, but their clutch has an intermittent problem, and they didn’t trust it all the way to Los Llanos. On the other hand, they had to come to Santa Cruz on Friday afternoon anyway. So Theresa stayed with our son while Helen came out with us, then they slept in our guest room.

It was a great night out. €3 paid for entrance to the gig, a copy of the magazine, and a free beer. (I was driving, so it was the only alcohol I had all night.)

I’d promised to take photos – the bands turned out for free to help support the magazine, so we take publicity photos for them. This time I remembered the big flash (the one we call the tactical nuke) but my favourite photos were some of the ones I took with the available light.

And here’s one I took with the flash, just to prove I took it.

And finally, they had an impromptu jam session. My husband joined in on the drums, and had a great time.
