CALIFORNIA UBER ALLIS

plus DANIEL HIGGS signing me right to a mystic netherworld on the top of the steepest hill
plus breaking into a ROOFTOP POOL
plus the best snacks
plus HYPHEE



y'all are missed

mud flowed up into lump's pyjammas

I just went through every tape I have owned since I was in the fifth grade. At the bottom of the box there was a dub with PRESIDENTS OF THE UNITED STATES OF AMERICA on one side and EVERCLEAR 'So Much for the Afterglow' on the other.


STILL GOOD AFTER ALL THESE YEARS

shredding the rad

My 33 year-old brother Andy who lives in Boulder recently made this is status on facebook:

Andrew Giordano was wondering why all you bro bra's have to wear you goggles for like four hours after getting off the mountain? we get it, you were "shredding the rad" now why don't you shed your gear dorks.

WHOA. With slang like that, maybe we do have more in common?

Sledge-o-matic

The other day Clancy and Joe and I were talking about sexy-unsexy Halloween costumes. The whole idea is you can make an utterly unsexy thing into a clever Halloween costume by making the sexy version of it. It's supposed to be making fun of the way that squares treat Halloween - an excuse to wear underwear for clothes by calling it a costume or putting on bunny ears. Which is fine, but not very smart or funny and a real waste of a costume tradition. In the sexy-unsexy category, some past highlights for me include Sexy Gallagher (complete with an inflatable hammer and a miniskirt with suspenders over a giant shirt -no big couch) and from this year, Sexy Mr Peanut.

Clancy said that Cara did sexy Garfield, which is a real gem.

Then it hit me, the greatest sexy unsexy to date - THE SCREAM MASK.

Slash that dumpy robe into a sexy tank dress, put some fake eyelashes on those haunting black pits, and smear some red lipstick all over that pouty ghost mouth - IT IS TIME TO GET FREAKY



it really does look like an 'O-FACE'

blaze a trail

oh, lord, clear a path
the time has come-
westward ho

NO MAN IS AN ISLAND

THIS IS SUCH A GOOD GOOD SONG


you just can't make it alone.

THE BEST THING

Meet HUGO, Jared's new dog.

He is a six year old (approx, obv) Walker coonhound. He is a real couch potato, like won't get off of the couch for walks or food, just sits around all day looking handsome.

WHAT A GEM.

I will actually be getting to SAN FRANCISCO to stay, to live, to make my home on APRIL 11TH.

I am waiting because these dudes are coming to play my town.



CAN YOU BELIEVE IT? NEITHER CAN I!


I am going to get right in front and probably get really emotional because I love Bloomington so much and I love Dinosaur, Jr so much and I will get worked up and cry. Which is not only fine, thankyouverymuch, but what I am hoping for.

ALSO
I get to go with my dad to hang out with his FAVIE CELEB, TERRY GROSS.


LOOK AT ALL THAT FRESH AIR BEHIND HER!

UPTODATES

did you hear? I am back in Bloomington. At least until April 5th when I move to CALIFORNIA.

i got to spend an intimate evening with this freak.

He is very charming and VERY good at puns. But, he's simply not as freaky as I was really hoping for.


But, to fill that FREAK VOID, I got to see AMERICA'S FUNNY MAN, NEIL HAMBURGER!


I actually cracked my lip from my jaw dropping so many times before he had even gotten to the COURTNEY LOVE ENDING MATERIAL. It was like he was doing this FOR ME.


AND THEN i got my MIND BLOWN by SHELLSHAG

If you are one of the lucky ones heading to Austin for indie rock spring break be sure to watch them all three times they are playing.
For the rest of us, let us partake in some cyber approximation. (make sure you watch all the way to the end for the full effect)
