small brown bike and the casket lottery playing in chicago the night before i leave for europe. YES!


bought tickets this morning and going with my homeboy Tom, who just recently moved back to chicago from san diego.

birthday over. good dinner. great wine. stupid music festival in Avon this week which will mean busy busy busy at the restaurant and no where for me to park to get to work. can't take the bus because by the time i leave work, bus service is over. yup. pretty ready to leave this place.

presidents day weekend has come and gone. i worked. i worked a lot. about 36 hours in three days. we did 878 covers plus about 200 room service orders. as expected my station got crushed. two new pastas on the menu and i'm doing about 25-30 of one of them a night. saturday night was especially brutal. 313 in the restaurant and the bulk of...

all last week it was spring weather. close to 50 on tuesday and a great to to drink on the mountain. no snow when i went to bed at 2:30 am.


just woke up to piss and there is about 12" of snow outside and its DUMPING

there is so much snow here right now. its just like my first season out here, when we ended up getting 490 inches of snow at vail. its just fun to look around and see how high the plow banks are. its like the snow was her first and we just carved roads out of the snow. walls 15 feet high!

vail was off the...

Beav got about 15" past two days. its also been steadily snowing all day and its expected to continue through tomorrow evening. glad the snow came back, brings the motivation to ride back up. went to beav yesterday and had lots of fun. Perigrine, the double black bumps run...

now that its deeper into 2011 i feel myself getting anxious/exciting for the season to end, and the long anticipated move to chicago and trip to europe to happen. i've been thinking about it a lot lately actually.

i went over my travel itinerary last night and it kind of got me all juiced up and i stayed up way to late doing research. i'll...

finally warmed up to around 30 or so. and just as that happened another killer snow cycle moved in! about 10" or so already and its still coming down. powder day before super/puppy bowl sunday.

sunny, but cold. really fucking cold. the heat in my place is terrible and being inside and wrapped up like you're outside sucks. work will be a relief tonight.


kinda want to be in chicago right now. i've been in a blizzard before, shut in for a few days the year i lived in denver. anyhow, we get snowfall like that a few times a...

Silverstein was great last night. good mix of songs. its nice that after all these years we haven't lost touch even though we only see each other when they tour through where ever i'm living at the time. hopefully one day i'll go to toronto so they can show me their home turf, plus its a city i've always wanted to visit.

so it was...

they are who we thought they are.


i guess thats not really fair. i mean, they only lost by a touchdown. until i find out that jay cutler is super hurt, he is forever on my shit list.



can't wait for tuesday. driving down to colorado springs to see the Silverstein boys for what is unfortunately becoming our once a year bro down. being up...

yesterday.

anyone who snowboards or skis will have a hard time describing what we experienced on Vail mountain yesterday. Clear blue skies, sun shining bright and 16 inches of new snow on the ground. i toured the back bowls yesterday (along with everyone else) riding all the lifts in the back bowls plus Game Creek, Avanti, Highline twice, Northwoods, and Wildwood all in about 3...
