And they're off... 4/20/07 arrival in Palm Springs. O'Boyle, Bleiman, and our gracious host Jim Crumpacker arrived 4/19 and beds are already a hot commodity. Threats of a golden shower loom overhead.



Our vehicle, a vintage Cadillac, displays the legendary Smoke Tree insignia on its windshield. I can smell the ranch from here.

Along the route to Crum's, the mildly retarded, but ever faithful Nunzio "G" greets us at Ralph's and demands I snap this portrait. We would later consider bringing G back to the ranch for late night.
