Last Saturday night, I found myself driving through the winding roads of Fullerton Hills, looking for my friend Rob's house. It was his annual "House Party" and it was awesome. In the backyard surrounding the pool were white tables for the guests, and Taqueria was set up serving tacos, beans and rice. In the kitchen, we found Rob mixing up margaritas and various drinks for his guests. And then, the music began. The sounds of one of my favorite bands, The Vaquetones, echoed through Fullerton Canyon that night. As dusk rolled around, you felt a real relaxation. It was the perfect way to spend a Saturday night and so different from the usual places we go to hear live music. If you've never seen the Vaquetones, you can catch them on September 10th at Martini Blues in Huntington Beach, where they will open for James Intveld, another of the local scene's music legends.
