I'm still here, sort of.

I have a child, and one on the way. I don't really do anything anymore, and yet I'm basically OK with that.

Whoa, haven't posted in over a year.

Lots of travel, lots of good shows, lots of really crappy movies.
I hate the movie-going experience these days, and would much rather retreat to my basement with some thai food and a dvd.

Went down to Portland this weekend to check out Devil's Point. the verdict? It's very, very small. Which would be cool if I wasn't smashed into a corner. Still, nice rocking cover of Don Henley's 'Boys of Summer.' Mad props, in the parlance of the youth. Shanghai Tunnel was the same as always, which suits me fine.
Such a lovely town.

I'll be at the...

Damn, so Dr. Frank, my one and only SG 'Friend' and the reason (okay, not the only reason) I joined cold got fired from this place. That's some cold shit, right there.

I'm pretty excited, as I'm planning a trip to europe for the World Cup and some totally unrelated Croatia time. Still trying to think of where to spend a couple of days in...

Nothing much going on.
Stars at the showbox was nice, but tainted by the sound/mix. Weird keys/electronics completely overwhelmed the guitars and bass, making for a really strange sound. They put on a good show, though, which is more than I can say for the Elected, Blake Sennet's band, which didn't really impress.
I hope to catch November Witch down in Oly this week -...

Come on, Seahawks.


It's gonna happen. It's time. I deserve this; the city deserves this.

Stars on Wed. at the Showbox. Anyone going? Ok, anyone who's reading this?

Tomorrow, the Birthday.
I shall go see Colin Meloy and see if I can get one of them tour EPs of his.

Since I've got to drive a long way, I think drinking heavily is out of the picture. I've still got to work on thu., after all. My wife won't be there. This birthday could certainly stand to add a bit of rad; I'm...

Ladies and Gentlemen,
I hope to attend the Camper van Beethoven show in t-town on the 28th, and to go to Portland sometime before that. Thanks to all who have made 2005 a not completely terrible year. It is appreciated, and the steady supply of debate, discussion and boobies that is SG is a big part of that.

Applying for more World Cup tickets -...

Rat City Rollerderby championship bout last night - Derby Liberation front wins it w/a convincing performance over the Throttle Rockets. Looking forward to seeing the debut of the Rose City roller girls in Portland next week. Any SGs taking part?

Went to Jules Mae's afterwards, which is Seattle's oldest pub. I hadn't been there before, but it's definitely worth a look. Hard to really get...

(oops, this was orignally posted as a comment. This site demands careful attention to things that are not boobies, a fact which wasn't clearly explained up front)

Saw the new pornographers on Saturday, but missed the Queers on Sunday. shit.
13 and God played a half-decent, if short, show at Chop Suey on tuesday; not really my thing. I can respect it for what it...
