favorite Decemberist moment:

Date: October 24th, 2004
Place: Fox Theater

Last stop of the 'Her Majesty' tour. This is pre-Decemberists fame so the Fox was about half-sold out (the fox is a little smaller than the El Rey) Best show ever.

i love the microphones. especially in my brand new headphones (sennheiser HD595). headphones, that i might add, that cost way too much money. oh well, thats holiday bonuses are for.

i bought new cheap headphones! for the simple fact that they are green. i can feel my ears dying a slow death every time i use them... blackeyed

you know, CYHSY is alright, but im not shedding any tears over missing them, and i never got into YYYs.

the arcade fire with david bryne was amazing. im sure it was more amazing than with bowie. thats right, i said it.

Jenny Lewis tickets came in the mail today. i have this odd feeling that Mrs. Lewis is going to see me in the crowd, become instantly smitten, run away to a small villa in SoFra (thats what the cool kids call Southern France. Kind of like SoHo or WeHo), and live happily every after.

it will happen.

i kind of felt like updating this, but then decided against it.

In leu of a proper update, i direct you to listen to "Gardenhead/Leave Me Alone" on repeat five times as that more less sums everything up.

I present to you, my first guest blog! Enjoy..

Sometimes, you just know things are going to work out right and life will be great. Karma. Thursday was one of those times. As much I try to stay on top of the scene out here, I find myself always tracing ghosts; hearing who played the Bowery, the Mercury Lounge, Summerstage in New York. Never ever...

i was working tonight and wondering whether anyone was attempting to trick-or-treat at my house and then i thought of last year when i was talking to you on the phone on halloween and the doorbell rang and i freaked out because i may have had a trick-or-treater but i wasn't wearing much clothing so i didn't answer the door.

it gave me a chuckle. surreal

what could be better than seeing Fiona Apple at Largo? Not much, but I do have this:

Met Jon Brion and talked with him for a good 10 minutes after the show.

Met Fiona love

Met the opening comedian and made a few jokes with him. Bryan something. Was told he is on Comedy Central a lot. Had a good bit about having an eagle.

Approached...
