Bolinas is kinda core to who I am. I've spend a LOT of time there, while growing up, and as a young adult while working in the computer industry in SF. My band was based in Bolinas, and was basically the town band... every event, we played at. (Named "HK", which was short for "Hu Yu Kiddin?")

It's a small village, at the end of a road, that is pretty fucking old skool California idyllic... and when SF exploded in the 80's with the computer boom, BoBo did everything they could do to remain a quiet little beach enclave of hippies and dropouts.

It was wonderful.

Still have friends there, today. The town is much different (you can only defend yourself from money for so long), but there is still a tiny shred of the old BoBo in there...

I hope you're right. I grew up in a small California town and I've seen it change oh-so-rapidly over the years.
