goodbye 496 bergen

wowser, four years sure flies by. six roommates. two subletters. escaping the fray that is the barclay's center. the nabe sure has changed. farewell to freddy's, hello to woodland.  i'll miss all the subways lines, but not the crowds.

hello alexa

as i do when i'm home a new lil friend was born. hello alexa!  you sure are grown up for a month old.

home friends

despite a change of venue and the loss of vinyl playing goodness, my friends made it out to celebrate my old arse.

over the hill?

it's been a while. EWR-SEA-SFO. i got older. i have also been trying to kick a cold for a week now.  a real nasty one. maybe i'm getting too old for this jetset life. let's hope not. while in my weaken state...

watched the mariners defeat the rangers 6-1

turned a year older with fam and bff at my side

had me delicious coffee crunch cake

my bday bounty... yes, that'd be a brian wilson gnome

ryan mcginley: animals and grids

first listen: best coast

love love love!  realizing bethany and bob are filling that void that rilo kiley left me with.  bethany has crisper lyrics this time around and production from jon brion doesn't hurt either. makes me miss home a little tho.  good thing i'm getting a douse of it in a few weeks.  woot!

patrick watson @ manhattan inn

closest thing to a la blogo
-theque session: patrick watson at manhattan inn.  i dragged my under the weather arse to greenpoint to catch the extraordinary mr. watson.  i haven't seen him in two years and did not wanna miss out on the intimate and free performance.  the special performance was in celebration of   his latest release "adventures in your own backyard".  highly recommended!  manhattan inn's backroom served as the best venue to host this great talent, with hanging plants doubling as chandeliers. patrick sang largely unmic'ed and loved played the white piano.  something he has always wanted to do.  

set list
adventures in your back yard
the quiet crowd
words in the fire
into giants
noisy sunday
big bird in a small cage


**encore**
the great escape (my fav)

me want

bethany and bob are back.  this will probably be my summer soundtrack.
