Central Coast Waterman Festival 10/22/2011 – 10/23/2011

Central Coast Waterman Festival 10/22/2011  – 10/23/2011

Central Coast Stand Up Paddling is stoked to announce the inaugural Central Coast Waterman Festival. Building on two successful years of the Jesse King Memorial race, we are expanding the event into a full 2-day festival at one of the greatest venues possible. Morro Bay, California has a large, protected estuary and open ocean within a few hundred yards of one another, making it ideal for both beginner demos and expert competition, and everything in between. Additionally Morro Bay is a tourist destination and has all the amenities necessary to host a successful event. The time of year is optimum for nice weather and good ocean conditions.

Will Ferrell Shaves Conan O’Brien’s Beard!

Will Ferrell Shaves Conan O’Brien’s Beard!

Will Ferrell may be a comedy king, but he wasn’t kidding about giving Conan O’Brien a much-needed shave. Following several weeks spent joking that the talk show host’s beard “offended him,” Ferrell finally took to the trimming shears on Monday night’s episode of Conan and attempted to give O’Brien a clean-cut look. But it wasn’t your typical trim: the star had a few technical difficulties as he was shaving O’Brien’s orange beard. In the clip above, O’Brien claims all the newly shorn hair is going into his mouth — to which Ferrell explains it’s because he only has experience shaving dogs!  At the end of the hilarious segment, Ferrell ends up stopping before the job is done, leaving O’Brien with an uneven half-beard. Whoops! Tell us: Would you let Ferrell shave your beard

I saw a lady standing close to the front of what used to be her home and I heard her say, “God help us”. I can’t get her off of my mind. All I could do was cry.
