And yes, I just now went through my friends over there and added a bunch of new blogs to my reader. I can’t wait! My reader says that I have 219 new posts to read.

And because half of the search terms here are usually for actual KitKats I thought I’d have my friend bring some back when she went to Japan.  While I’m not really a fan of the actual KitKat, I know a photo op when I see one – and I give the people what they want.  So here is the obligatory, wacky-flavored KitKats from Japan.  There was vanilla, kiwi, caramel and we think, hazelnut – could have been coffee since it felt very espresso-bean-y to me, but it was in Japanese so who knows.  They were definitely interesting to taste, that’s for sure.  And man, those Japanese can be crazy with their wacky flavors – Talk about obsession.

I finally got around to getting the Herbie pictures off my camera.  Sadly, since I wasn’t using flash, they all suck – but at least shrunk down to this itty bitty size you don’t notice exactly how blurry it is (or so I tell myself).  This was during the encore at the Tucson show since I only got to shoot a couple photos during sound check in SF (and that batch is even worse than this batch).  If only I could post some of the backstage or personal photos, but I don’t think his management would be too keen on that (especially considering I don’t have any sort of copyright or protections on my photos).  I’ve got one of love of Herbie an Carlos Santana and another with Herbie and my hubby.  Oh well.
