A grand get-together of book and article authors, website creators, and gobaja 'roomies' was held in San Clemente on Saturday, Oct. 28th. The party
was organized by 'David K' with the intent to further constructive communication for the benefit of ALL who use the Internet to learn (or share
things) about Baja California.
Nearly fifty guests attended and included those who provide or represent the following....
Amigos de Baja, Baja Links, Baja Expo, Baja-Web, Baja Public Message Board, Baja Nomad, Baja Traveler Magazine, Baja California Language College, and
the San Nicolas Hotel in Ensenada.
Authors attending included Graham Mackintosh, Greg Niemann, Kacey Smith, and Mike Humfreville...
Frequent contributors to the discussion boards present included... Lorenzo de Baja (LdB), David Eidell, Michelle (M), Ofer, Dave in 29 Palms, DP Dave,
Paulina, Neal Johns (Aridologist), Alejandra, Jack Swords, and more!
Ken Cooke (Baja Ken) who shared his San Pedro Martir photos on TimsBaja.com and DavidKsBaja.com, provided music for us. Ken's guest, Suzanne, showed
us her beautiful collection of Baja landscape photography. Lorenzo showed us his very interesting movies of early trips into Baja from nearly 40 years
ago. Graham provided his entertaining slides from both his first and latest Baja walking adventures. Many others shared a bit of Baja during the 'Show
and Tell' presentation. We all learned some new things that day.
Door prizes offered included Deluxe hotel accommodations for two nights in Ensenada (from Tillie of the San Nicolas), and in Rosarito (from Ferna de
Tijuana); $100 cash from 'Wayno' of BB Bait and Tackle, in Blythe; A copy of 'Into a Desert Place' from Graham Mackintosh; A copy of 'Baja Fever' from
Greg Niemann; A copy of Ray Cannon's 'Sea of Cortez' from David K; Two Hellerwork sessions from 'jeans' (Mindy); and two full fare sportfishing
tickets at 'Pierpoint', from 'Whistler'(Glenn).
The more than thirty photos will give you a sample of some of your 'fellow amigos' enjoying that day. If you have a photo of a guest that was missed
please scan and email to me (jpeg), and I will add it! A list of links from attendees completes the page.
Thank you all so much for making VIVA BAJA a great day!

Since that year, I raised two teenagers, alone! You know both Chris and Sarah! Glad they are great young adults now (25 & almost
27).Kimpatsu_Hekigan - 10-29-2015 at 10:29 AM
Does anyone know where to find a copy of this film (Bajo California) with English subtitles?
At one time, it was shown at a film festival in the States (Sundance?) with English subtitles. So a copy must exist. But where?

Only the Sundance Channel version has the subtitles... Good look finding that!
There is so little dialog in this movie, it really doesn't lose anything without the sub-titles. It does start out and end in English, and when his
wife speaks to him is all in English (with no Spanish subtitles, in the Sundance version, anyway).SlyOnce - 10-30-2015 at 08:04 AM
My novia and I watched this movie, we really enjoyed it, thanks! I have a collection of movies filmed in TJ or Baja for example Aloha Bobby and Rose,
Up in Smoke, Born in East LA, Miss Bala, and more. BornFisher - 10-30-2015 at 08:32 AM
