Long Beach

azstrummer — 2/12/2007 8:38:07 PM (archived)

Talk about strange. I actually spent time in Long Beach as well. A ship I was on in the Navy went to the Long Beach shipyard for drydock work. I had a bunch of free passes to Disneyland so I'd hop on my motorcycle, drive to the park and have dinner in New Orlean's Square once a week.

That was a strange time of my life. It got more interesting in the years after that. I'll fill in details some other time.
