Went to see the Shins and the Thermals last night. The place was in North Portland, a bitch to find, and is closing, like, today. We could see the St. John's Bridge from our parking spot. It was this large warehouse/gallery thing, but amazingly the sound wasn't too bad as long as you were close to the stage. Or maybe that's because I had earplugs...

Ouch. I'm sore. From bowling. From. Fucking. Bowling.

I like to think I'm in better shape than this. Guess I need to hit the gym more than twice a week, eh?

Today I got to journey out to the wonderful labyrinthine world of the Intel campus to set up a display board and sit at the entrance of their cafeteria for four hours and talk...

Bowling last night with some of the PDX folk. I met a couple of more, Amitabha and Dawook, as well as our fearless leader Seanbaby. It was fun. I still suck at bowling, but oh well.

Next time I wanna see more of you out there! None of these flimsy "I have more productive things to do on a monday than drink beer and bowl"...

I have just returned from an evening at Dante's. I went by myself to see Voyager One, Mellowdrone and Phaser, because my friends suck and didn't want to go with me. Nah, they were all just broke, as usual.

I ran into anything, BigDirtyS and MisterSatan, so I was not forced to sit by myself all night. Voyager One was apparently performing their last show,...

In the continuation of the thrill-packed weekend I'm having, today brings....

LAUNDRY: Part II
The Lights and Darks

W00t, I really know how to have fun, don't I?

But tonight brings Dante's. 7:00, 8 bucks, kids. You should all come out if you're over the oh so precious age of 21.

Random combination of smileys:

Went to a party at Ragingwhore's place last night with EnergyChannel. My first time meeting some of the SG kids, with the bonus fun of a group from Seattle. Good times, indeed. I've gone around this morning (or afternoon) saying hi to people I met last night, but since people were pretty drunk, we'll see how many of them remember me.

And now I have...

Awesome. I just found out that the Von Bondies are playing with Guided By Voices in October! Two bands I've never seen live before playing at a venue I actually enjoy! Yay! And it's Friday too! Double yay! And it's time to go to work!

....oh well, two out of three ain't bad.

Hmm, I've discovered that I have nothing to say in the evenings, and this is proving detrimental to my journal entries, as they tend to be sporadic and uninteresting.

Let me see here...I went to the gym for the first time in a week. I can squeeze 80 lb. with my inner thighs. That's kind of cool, I guess.

I think I'll blame Leonard Cohen...

Wow. Okay, where to begin. I guess I'll begin with Friday. My friend Jason and I arrived in Seattle Friday afternoon. We were staying at the hostel down by Pike St. Market and all that other touristy stuff, and we found the hostel with almost no problem. Note to Seattle: Street signs on EVERY corner would be a wonderful thing. But whatever, we found it....

Ahhh, five, count them, five whole days away from work. Life is wonderful right now. My best friend is driving up from Arcata tonight, and we're heading to Seattle tomorrow morning, Bumbershoot-bound. Fun fun fun. This weekend will do nothing to improve my increasingly more sleep-deprived state (thanks, EnergyChannel ), but it will rock nonetheless. I'll finally get to break in the new digicam in...

Whoops, forgot it was poetry day. Um....er...yeah, it'll have to be song lyrics again.

Which Will

Which will you go for
Which will you love
Which will you choose from
From the stars above
Which will you answer
Which will you call
Which will you take for
For your one and all
And tell me now
Which will you love the best.

Which do you...
