Bringeth It On

Two weeks ago I wrote Rob a letter. It's tucked inside my weekly planner because at first I had no envelope, and then I had no stamps. But I have both now, so the outdated letter will soon be sent. I rather enjoy handwritten letters.

I've been bad about updating this. I should probably redesign it, too. Let's talk about what has happened since I last updated substantially...

  • I saw Alison Krauss + Union Station, one of my favorite bands. They were quite amazing. The musicianship contained within that group is astounding.

  • I visited family in California. People that I haven't seen in over 10 years. The Sunset Junction fair was wonderful, and makes me wish Rapid City was bigger. I met new cousins and saw Lauren Graham and Melissa McCarthy on the WB studio lot. I also got sorted by a Harry Potter Sorting Hat and it put me in Slytherin. The cool house.

  • I saw All Girl Summer Fun Band last Sunday. Sadly, they're kind of a one note act. I liked The Bee Eaters, who opened for them. I will have pictures soon.

  • I started reading The Believer, a magazine where article length is no object. There's some really amazing writing happening there, I suggest you check it out.

    I'll have to resize most of my photos, but you can be sure they will be posted. Now, I have Differential Equations homework to do.

    Hey joan...

    Im not sure if you have listned to them yet, but there are 2 songs on the slackjaw mp3.com site that were posted up last march or so...They are from the forthcomming lp. Ive been talking to them lately and they plan on comming back to town in the spring. Anyhow, the two songs..holy cow...quite possibly their best work to date...Its too bad you can only stream them, because...wow...I especially like "the tourist". Im keeping the fact that these are just "rough" cuts in my mind too...wow...you need to hear these songs... here is the link! See ya on campus...
