Yeah. I like this town. There is a reason real estate is expensive as can be in San Diego. BTW, the locals don’t appreciate the whale’s vagina references. After several days of eating and drinking like a madman, it was … Continue reading San Diego–Discovered By The Germans In 1904 and By Weez In 2019
Where you be, Endangered Species? Monday started the second half of this Cali trip, as we checked out of Disney and headed south to San Diego, via Temecula, one of the fastest growing wine areas of California. We were able … Continue reading Meet Me In Temecula
After spending a day at Disneyland, followed by a day brewery hopping, we returned to a mostly park day Sunday. My first several trips to Las Vegas for March Madness, we stayed at Planet Hollywood. Located right across from the … Continue reading Drunk Disney Is The Best Disney
…a state that’s untouchable like Elliott Ness. We got out of the park today, and headed to outer LA, driving up to Marina Del Rey-Venice and back. On the drive up, the exit signs were a love letter to my … Continue reading Now Let Me Welcome Everybody To The Wild Wild West
Today was our first full day at Disneyland, and as I type this, I am exhausted. More than 20,000 steps, a dozen or so rides. A few good meals. And some okay beer. Staying onsite here in the Grand California … Continue reading Full Day At Disney: More Steps than Step Up 2-5
I had an extended vacation as a kid in California. Ever since, I have had this picture in my head. Remember, nostalgia is undefeated. But, other than a stop over at LAX, I never made it back. Until this week. We flew from St. Louis to San Diego, working our way up the congested I-5 to Anaheim. The first stop was Lucha Libre Taco Shop, just outside of the San Diego airport. Anyone who has seen my VHS collection of lucha libre gets why this was a must stop for me. Plus, solid tacos. Plus, some cool decor. And all … Continue reading Finally, The Weez Has Returned…
I’ve been kicking around the idea of posting one playlist a week to supplement the Friday music posts. With a trip to California on deck and my weekly Friday post in jeopardy due to that trip, I decided now is as good a time as ever. The playlist is the modern blogger’s version of the mixtape. And yeah, I was the kid with blank cassettes trying to time the record button to the radio, hoping the DJ didn’t talk over the intro. Most weeks will be a Spotify list. That is the majority of my music consumption. I may experiment … Continue reading Interesting Air: Playlist of the Week–Going Back To Cali

For several years, I had what could be considered an unhealthy obsession with the movie The Crow, released in 1994, my sophomore year of high school. I was 15. It is the greatest love story ever told. Fight me on … Continue reading A Chance Find Re-Ignites An Old Fandom
Having gone to school at Eastern Illinois University in the late 90s, early 2000s, and working sports for the local Charleston radio station, Will Leitch popped up on my radar early in his career. Before “the break” with Deadspin. We orbited the same circles at just slightly different paths in Coles County. Will had ambition and pursued it. He caught his break nationally in 2005. That was the same year I found my home covering local sports here in Fairfield, after working for three radio stations, a TV station and my hometown paper for a spell throughout college and shortly … Continue reading Will Leitch Weighs In On Deadspin
