Man I hate mornings. I had to get up at 6 this morning and it was horrible. At least my weekend will be eventful. There's a shit ton of shows I want to see, one that I'm playing and I think a baby shower is in there somewhere also. I guess I'll go ahead and pimp mine. No Regrets Tattoo Emporium is having their christmas shindig at Murphy's. They'll ( Read more... )

Well, it turns out I did accidentaly mail my wallet to North Dakota because the Grand Forks ramp mailed it back and it came in today. The money was still in it, and nobody from North Dakota decided to buy any shit with my bank card, so no harm no foul. Later today I'm driving up to Nashville to eat with Anna's family. It should be fun. As for ( Read more... )

About twelve years ago my friend Frank and I sat up really late one night and brainstormed a list of band names and song titles we'd like to see in existance. I wrote em down so we wouldn't forget them on a blank piece of sketch paper, folded it up and tucked it away.

This weekend was pretty fun. Went Adam's b-day party with Anna and got a lot more drunk than I had intended. Thus I paid dearly for it the next morning.

Spent all of late Saturday afternoon into Saturday night hanging out at ( Read more... )

Recently I've felt like a passenger in a car that drove off the road a few miles back and is trying to reach it's destination without the aid of stuff like pavement, traffic laws, or even a basic sense of direction. Hell, there's probably not even a driver for that matter, but I've been calm about it, and more than willing to let life just sort of ( Read more... )

I was planning on doing a whole lot of nothing this Halloween since I went to a couple of parties last saturday and thus considered the holiday to be over. The new smoking law has claimed wednesday night karaoke at Neils, so that option is now dead. I always wondered how it would end, and while I could've envisioned a thousand slightly more ( Read more... )

I'm not sure how they came up with this list, but it gets increasingly more bizarre the further you read down it.http://www.telegraph.co.uk/news/main.jhtml?xml=/news/2007/10/28/geniustable128.xml&CMP=ILC-mostviewedbox

I really don't think that Electric Masada clip was a particularly good example of Avant Garde music, so here's a couple of others. One I think is fantastic, the other totally weird but compelling. I'll let you decide which is which.

Anna's boss once knew an Elephant trainer for Circus Circus, and he told me this man would shout a command in German to the elephants right before they were to perform and they would all relieve themselves simultaneously. I couldn't help but think that the audience was actually missing out. Seeing twenty or so elephants pissing and shitting at the ( Read more... )
