When's the last time you had a friend over to play guitar in your home? Hmmm? You can't recall because it's been two years of this COVID shit and no one is coming by your house, apartment, condo, storage locker, etc. even though you have been vaxxed since last spring. You really need to get the booster, you know?

Monday night I hosted my buddy Douglas Nelson, who brought his guitar and two jugs of Moss Beach Komucha, of which he's the founder and owner. I have never in my life enjoyed kombucha before I tried his stuff. Mind you, this is not a commercial and we didn't even talk much about the product during my show, but I would be remiss if I didn't say something about it. Good man, good kombucha.

Now that the holidays are upon us, I find that I really enjoy getting guests on the air talking about this past year and what they have coming up. I have no guests in my upcoming show, but Steve Depace of Flipper will be on Monday, December 27th, and I have a bunch of really great interviews lined up for 2022.

What are your plans for New Years Eve? Whatever they are, I want you to get your booster shot. This Omicron variant is no joke. We need to get this thing gone, and the only way to do that is to get vaxxed, boosted and wear your damn mask! Once you get that done, join Radio Valencia at Bottom of the Hill, December 30th and 31st. I'll be your MC, and we'll have a table of freshly printed RV t-shirts for you to grab.

Enjoy.
