Yule Ride - Surfin' West For New Year's Wave

report filed 12/23/00, 8:05 am EST - Happy Holidays! 'Tis the season to be jolly, and we're doing our part here at Anytime/Anywhere Studios. In addition to the standard year end festivites, we're in the 'bon voyage' mode. That's right - our hardworking production crew will be packing up and heading west right after x-mas. Destination: Ocean Beach, California! Can you say: 70 degrees and sunny? Now that'll put a smile on anyone's face.

Before we hit the road though, how 'bout a glance in the rear view mirror to see where we've been.... 2000 was a great year. Covered alot of ground, experienced some outstanding music, and crossed paths with a bunch of wonderful folks... thanks to everyone who made it all possible!

Here's a quick look back at some our favorite images from good ol' Y2K:

So there ya go, another year in the books. And as one chapter closes, another begins. Scuttlebutt around the coffee dripper has become increasingly animated over the past few days. The topic: which NYE show will our hardworking crew document in words and images? Rumours are raging.

Check back during the first week of the new year to find out where we wind up, when our adventure in music journalism continues...
