Cochise’s Blue Plate Show by Valgal

What a GREAT DAY in Daytona! The weather was the best it has been in a while… Winter is coming !!!

Cochise Chop’s Magazine has been putting on his Blue Plate Special Show for a few years now and was determined to make it this year! Super glad I did!

Walking around and looking at the oldies, but goodies sure takes you back to the ‘good old days’ and you miss the simplicity of life in those days… But we take a deep breath and just tackle what life throws at us the best we can. As you will see in the photo’s, fun was had by all!…. 

Shovelheads were parked out front of the Famous Boot Hill Saloon and parking space filled up quickly. No bands to yell over, just great conversation with friends old and new… Big shout out to Orange John the awesome drag racer and all the friends from Pennsylvania… Enjoy the photos and please share our website to one and all!

Go and sign up for our newsletter on weekly local events!

Love y’all, Valgal!

PS. We will do this every year now!

BIKE DAY at POST 359 on 9-2-23 by Miserable George

     A bunch of mean looking clouds rolled past my place just as I was getting ready to shove off to Post 359 for Bike Day. Those clouds DID dump some rain on my place, however, 359 was spared…WHEW!!! The crowd was a bit sparse when I got there, but grew pretty fast. The band, Roughouse, was wailing away, and cute little barmaid Shelly was busy providing those cold ones…she’s a Sweetheart!!! By now, BOTH bars were busy, and food was being served. Everything was moving at a FULL SWING pace. The weather was perfect, although it was a BIT warm…those big fans on the deck DID help. Despite the heat, I did see people dancing…!!! Bikes were rolling in, and soon the back deck was packed. It turned out to be a FUN DAY…!!!

Folks, thank a vet today, and may GOD BLESS YOU ALL…!!!

Miserable George & ValGal…(Yeah, she was there too)

BIKE DAY at POST 359 by Miserable George

This is the time of year for crazy weather, and man….have we been getting just THAT…!!! BUT, today, 8-5-23 was different…at least, it started out that way!! It was HOT, but the BIG DADDY BAND attracted a nice crowd….if anybody’s gonna do it…THEY will..!!! We ran into some friends whom we hadn’t seen for awhile…THAT’S always nice. The food was very good…as always…and, Shelly, that sweet little bar-maid, was busy keeping the cold ones coming. Judging by what was parked in back…someone even arrived on a beautiful Farmall “H” tractor…!!! The band DID attract a dancer or two…even in the heat…!!! The fans were running, but like one guy said, they were just blowing hot air!!!!

Well, whatever, it was a fun afternoon…I always look forward to it.

Hey, thank a VET today, and GOD BLESS AMERICA…..!!!!

  A HOT BIKER SATURDAY AT POST 359 by Miserable George

     In spite of a blistering HOT Saturday afternoon, the back deck of Post 359 was literally  PACKED with folks who came out to meet friends, or maybe just to listen to the music and have a few cold ones. Whatever your reason , I’m certain that you had a good time…!!! The band-”ROUGHOUSE” had them dancing in no time. Heck, there was even a wheel chair bound lady out on the floor!!! As usual, the food was good and the beer was cold…!!! That in itself, had a good grip on the attending folks..!!! I met several folks that I hadn’t seen for quite  a while.

I also got asked to be BEST MAN at the wedding of a good friend….I was never a Best Man before…!!! 

Folks…thank a VET today, and may GOD BLESS you all….

Shovelhed at H&D Roadhouse by Valgal

There is nothing I love more than having all our friends together at ONE PLACE!… Sure did keep me busy shooting pictures! 

Shovelhed on stage to ROCK THE HOUSE AS USUAL!

Warren and Meg’s LAST SUNDAY SINGLE PARTY!

Great success I’d say! People were dancing and singing along with the band! We also got asked to shoot a friend’s wedding in September! That will be a fun one too!

Harry was on point as always with food and cold drinks!
Thank you Harry & Deb for all you do for our community!
WE LOVE YOU!

BIKE DAY AT POST 359 6-3-23 by Miserable George

The place was surrounded by nasty looking clouds all day long, BUT, no rain…!!!! Nice crowd at Bike Day, and they allowed 4-wheelers in the big parking lot. As always…good food, a live band…Whiskey JuJu…had a lot of folks dancing.  My lady-writer from Ohio was visiting with her friend…nice to see her again. After some food and a lot of photos, this old guy was ready to head home.

Thank a VET today, and may GOD bless you all…

Twisted Minds, Inc. and Me by Valgal

Very few people know where/how my obsession with TMI started … Well it has been almost 5 years now since my head snapped up and I took notice. 

I made a flier YEARS ago for an event a friend put on called Crew Jam, well Nancie had Twisted Minds playing as one of the bands but I didn’t really care too much about music back then cuz I just had started our magazine.

This brings us to the vibrancy that was Jay Grose… As you all know I leave events a bit early. This is because I NEED to go… For ME.

 Well one day I was leaving a venue, I believe it was Moe’s, and Jay asked me to wait and listen to his friends play, it was TMI… Little did I know how much this day would change my life and the way I look at the music community today. They had me hooked!

WE FUCKING LOVE YOU GUYS! This band, called Twisted Minds,Inc. Helped me get thru one of the saddest times of my life. We are so grateful to have them and all the friends we have made because of them. You can go see them and just BE. Jay tried to give me the ability to hear the music the way he did.(Not exactly)

Jasper, and the men from TMI, you will ALWAYS mean more to me than you will ever know…

OK… I have been hoarding A LOT OF PHOTOS over the last few years so here are some of the BEST OF THE BEST of TMI… Thank you for being there!

ENJOY
Valgal

P.S There will be photos of current and past members…

21st. Annual Brevard Law Ride by Miserable George

……I’d say that the weather could not have been any better for the big Brevard Law Ride on Sat. May 13, 2023.

ValGal and I left just ahead of the main group and got a spot on 5A to shoot the column of over 488 bikes. We were able to slip into the column and join them all the way back to the Hall of Fame area where lunch was being served. Sorry, there was no stop at the VAB this year.

Thanks to all the Police Agencies that assisted on the run.

By now, mid-day heat was making itself known, so we hit the road to find some welcome AC. It was a very enjoyable day all around.

Hey, thank a VET today, and GOD bless you all….
