Heaven?

Beautiful girl, beautiful music, and a large amount of fireworks... Is this what heaven is like?

what?

it is 82 degrees in my box. with no circulation. is that necessary? i forgot my phone at home. here are some entertaining things.

Nada Surf is putting out a new album called Lucky. i am excited for it. their last one- the weight is a gift- was stellar, and the new one shows promise. listen up for the track "weightless". forget about their popular days, cause this shit rocks without novelty.

This is definitely my favorite track from in rainbows. check out the whole "scotch mist" movie if you get a chance. its about an hour, but well worth the time.


fuck outer space, this shit is HERE, on our planet. there is so much life underwater that we have no idea about. crazy. get on it scientists. the giant squid is fascinating. (never mind the weird dead shit in the middle, and i haven't seen this with audio, so forgive me if it sucks)


everyone better be sure to make it out to decoupler this weekend. i can honestly say that I'm hyped.

got to see edie sedgwick in action this weekend. drooled a little, but not as much as ashley, who fell asleep. what a shame.

ummm... i think that may be all I've got. peace.

just a taste

i took a bunch of photos with three different cameras out in steamboat springs where i recently spent about a week snowboarding with my dad. I'm gonna wait until i get all of em back to wax on the whole trip, but i shot this one with my phone going up one of the chairlifts near the village. we got 60 inches of snow in 4 days. it was great.

rewind

so two weekends ago deserves a rundown

Thursday we played at the triple rock. it was pretty cool. got to play with some friends and see some friends as well. we played alright. it was a fun night overall. thanks to everyone who came out.

we also got the word that our friend Tommy is starting a record label. safe town records. we are going to put out an ep on it in the spring. working on it right now. look out for the shoreline cd release weekend.

Friday, after grumpy's, ended like this

sort of.

Saturday started like this.

apparently, its against the law to shoot roman candles out of a moving car. who knew? cops don't like it when one of the explosions takes place on their car either.

ended the night in northeast with a dance party at the front. good times.

Sunday night i went back to the triple rock to see a really great show. every band was local, and pretty great. listened to the wonderful noise of lady slipper, the power pop of one for the team, the great weirdness that was a mouthful of bees (their drummer was a chick and she fucking ripped! it was kinda hot?) the musicianship of the p lacquers, and my favorite, the always beautiful now now every children. check all those bands out. it was the first time i had been to a local show and actually stayed for the whole thing in quite awhile. i was glad i did. it's good to see the local scene thriving.

then on Monday i left for Colorado. more on that later.

the Australian open is on. could this be roddick's year?

Happy New Year!

i hope everyone had a fantastic end to their year. who needs a fresh start? i'm cerntainly not opposed to one. what'd you do? i was at a friends house, where i didnt really drink much and passed out at about two. thats pretty early for me on new years. got some pretty good polaroids though. ill put those up soon.
i am currently trapped in an aproximatly 7'X12' box inside a bowling alley. in said box, i am instructed to cash customers checks. well the problem is, there are no customers... so i am left to the internet. its cool, i hear its pretty big. lets talk about this new year. a list of resolutions/goals:

1) Quit Blowing It- i did a lot of this last year. life is about opportunities and i've gotta start taking advantage of them. no more letting the little stuff like time and money get in the way of something potentially epic. this includes, but is not limited to going to shows/events, keeping in touch with people, traveling, snapping up hot deals, etc.

2) Eat Better- less fast food. more fruits and vegetables. more self preperation of meals.

3) Release a CD and Throw a Release Party- i really want to put the "party" back into the cd release party. look out for this in the spring.

4) Take More Photos- do it. look for em on here.
i think that covers the goals. dont get me wrong, i have plans for the new year, but many of those are set in motion.

i'm moving to the city in february or march, so citizens of minneapolis, prepare yourself.
i'm traveling to colorado with my dad in a few days. driving out there, which will be interesting. 20 hours one way. just me and my pops. we'll see what happens.
my band shoreline is playing tomorrow at the triple rock. so you should come to that. show starts at 9. we play around 10.
i would also like to extend many good luck wishes to my friend stacy. miami wont know what hit em.
i think thats all ive got today. happy new year. i hope it brings you all you wish for.
