KPRI finds Jesus

KPRI finds Jesus
Thanks Ken. That's a very good question! And yes Bob Hudson. Am still trying to find Hill Street. Haven't found it yet. Good to see you're now gainfully...uh....involved with web commenting. We all do what do don't we Bob!

KPRI finds Jesus
Bob- If memory serves you worked at that station in 1972-73 when it was a beautiful music station known as KJFM (right?). KJFM was the all automated sister station to Top 40 KUDE 1320 AM where you were a nighttime DJ spinning Spinners records. Back then that 500 watt AM station which barely got out of Oceanside was thought to be more valuable than the FM station. Wow!

University offers to foot the bill for Ché Café repairs
More than three weeks later...the Guardian reflects:

Bob disrespected at Fallbrook pot bust
I think it is worth noting that in next door Oceanside they sue the business owner and the landlord to get their unwanted dispensaries to close. No cops. No pepper spray. No breaking of doors. Oceanside has done this successfully three times in the last year. Not saying dispensaries should or should not be eliminated. But Fallbrook's way I think is unique in the County.

Pigs fly in Vista
This is a nice, adequate review. But I think maybe Ms. Reed because you wanted "to get on the road for the 45-minute drive home," you may have missed a few key points. First, while the city of Vista has arrived as a booming, thriving craft beer mecca, there was really nothing in Vista as far as restaurants go until the Flying Pig came. Second, this is literally a mom and pop business, flying in the face of the trend of large restaurant groups/corporations that keep getting bigger. Third, and this is huge, those mom and pop owners Roddy and Aaron Browning were so successful with their built-from-scratch Flying Pig in Oceanside, that they were able to buy a vacant former bank building in Vista to open the second Flying Pig. Fourth, they went ape repurposing building materials in both the interior and exterior to make a funky and sustainable statement. A lot of cool stories there. Fifth, there is a strip mall BBQ joint in Vista who copied the name Flying Pig when they opened about a year ago. This is uncool. But the Brownings who hate the idea of being litigious, opted to just let it go. And finally, both Pigs are hardcore in their devotion to farm-to-table. They have plenty of good stories (read: interesting) about their pursuit of farm-to-table. Those stories would have also been good to include in this article in my opinion.

University offers to foot the bill for Ché Café repairs
Regarding the mass text sent out by Monty Kroopkin who said that the August 2016 date for the expiration of the current lease is wrong, he is correct. It is actually April, 2016. I was told August 2016 by the Che Collective press spokesman Fabiloa Orozco who (like all Che Collective members) is a volunteer and who does the best they can with the time they have. I know Monty Kroopkin to be a Che Cafe true believer who cares about the cause. But for the love of god Monty, what benefit does it do for you to bitch about the wrong date (by five months) like it is a badge of disgrace. Yes, Monty, you did do the heavy lifting regarding saving the Che and you are the adult in the room who looks after details. But it seems like your rants can be demoralizing. You helped save the Che. But come on, brother. Please get off the high horse. Why does everybody have to be an adversary?

University offers to foot the bill for Ché Café repairs
Thanks for the input Mr. Hargrove. I would imagine that after over 4,780 posts (according to the Reader website tally) Mr. Visduh is bound to have thoughtful and informative comments. And what do you know, Visduh happens to be thoughtful and informative on just about any topic you can come up with. And of course whether he is anonymous or not, he should (and does) comment on every topic that pops up. God bless him. Keep up the good work! I was only challenging him on the preposterous Isla Vista=slum equation. Where did that come from and what does it have to do with anything? This is Twilight Zone analysis. And his Che/embarrassment slag just seems like a cheap and easy insult like the recent one where KUSI reporter Sasha Foo said that the cafe continues to get dogged by its leftist connections (a la Che Guevara I suppose). I asked both Ms Foo and her news director ti explain and I got a "no comment" and a non-response. But I do understand it is all part of the game. I notice that this article is now one of the "most popular." So I guess it all works out. It's all good as they say. But for "Visduh" to now all of a sudden say that he and his kid are UCSD grads. Puh-leeeze. That's when the horseshit meter went bust for me. Who are you Visduh? Your $50 awaits. Prove that this claim is not a lie. Embarrass me and make me poorer. [As always, I am speaking only for myself].

KPRI finds Jesus
oops....meant to say...We all do what we do, don't we Bob!— September 29, 2015 1 p.m.
KPRI finds Jesus
Thanks Ken. That's a very good question! And yes Bob Hudson. Am still trying to find Hill Street. Haven't found it yet. Good to see you're now gainfully...uh....involved with web commenting. We all do what do don't we Bob!— September 29, 2015 8:36 a.m.
KPRI finds Jesus
Bob- If memory serves you worked at that station in 1972-73 when it was a beautiful music station known as KJFM (right?). KJFM was the all automated sister station to Top 40 KUDE 1320 AM where you were a nighttime DJ spinning Spinners records. Back then that 500 watt AM station which barely got out of Oceanside was thought to be more valuable than the FM station. Wow!— September 28, 2015 8:45 p.m.

Bob disrespected at Fallbrook pot bust
I think it is worth noting that in next door Oceanside they sue the business owner and the landlord to get their unwanted dispensaries to close. No cops. No pepper spray. No breaking of doors. Oceanside has done this successfully three times in the last year. Not saying dispensaries should or should not be eliminated. But Fallbrook's way I think is unique in the County.— September 20, 2015 11:45 a.m.
Pigs fly in Vista
This is a nice, adequate review. But I think maybe Ms. Reed because you wanted "to get on the road for the 45-minute drive home," you may have missed a few key points. First, while the city of Vista has arrived as a booming, thriving craft beer mecca, there was really nothing in Vista as far as restaurants go until the Flying Pig came. Second, this is literally a mom and pop business, flying in the face of the trend of large restaurant groups/corporations that keep getting bigger. Third, and this is huge, those mom and pop owners Roddy and Aaron Browning were so successful with their built-from-scratch Flying Pig in Oceanside, that they were able to buy a vacant former bank building in Vista to open the second Flying Pig. Fourth, they went ape repurposing building materials in both the interior and exterior to make a funky and sustainable statement. A lot of cool stories there. Fifth, there is a strip mall BBQ joint in Vista who copied the name Flying Pig when they opened about a year ago. This is uncool. But the Brownings who hate the idea of being litigious, opted to just let it go. And finally, both Pigs are hardcore in their devotion to farm-to-table. They have plenty of good stories (read: interesting) about their pursuit of farm-to-table. Those stories would have also been good to include in this article in my opinion.— September 16, 2015 7:18 a.m.

Regarding the mass text sent out by Monty Kroopkin who said that the August 2016 date for the expiration of the current lease is wrong, he is correct. It is actually April, 2016. I was told August 2016 by the Che Collective press spokesman Fabiloa Orozco who (like all Che Collective members) is a volunteer and who does the best they can with the time they have. I know Monty Kroopkin to be a Che Cafe true believer who cares about the cause. But for the love of god Monty, what benefit does it do for you to bitch about the wrong date (by five months) like it is a badge of disgrace. Yes, Monty, you did do the heavy lifting regarding saving the Che and you are the adult in the room who looks after details. But it seems like your rants can be demoralizing. You helped save the Che. But come on, brother. Please get off the high horse. Why does everybody have to be an adversary?— September 8, 2015 11:13 p.m.

Thanks for the input Mr. Hargrove. I would imagine that after over 4,780 posts (according to the Reader website tally) Mr. Visduh is bound to have thoughtful and informative comments. And what do you know, Visduh happens to be thoughtful and informative on just about any topic you can come up with. And of course whether he is anonymous or not, he should (and does) comment on every topic that pops up. God bless him. Keep up the good work! I was only challenging him on the preposterous Isla Vista=slum equation. Where did that come from and what does it have to do with anything? This is Twilight Zone analysis. And his Che/embarrassment slag just seems like a cheap and easy insult like the recent one where KUSI reporter Sasha Foo said that the cafe continues to get dogged by its leftist connections (a la Che Guevara I suppose). I asked both Ms Foo and her news director ti explain and I got a "no comment" and a non-response. But I do understand it is all part of the game. I notice that this article is now one of the "most popular." So I guess it all works out. It's all good as they say. But for "Visduh" to now all of a sudden say that he and his kid are UCSD grads. Puh-leeeze. That's when the horseshit meter went bust for me. Who are you Visduh? Your $50 awaits. Prove that this claim is not a lie. Embarrass me and make me poorer. [As always, I am speaking only for myself].— September 7, 2015 11:21 a.m.
