Yeah...Im a douchebag. It's taken me a month to sit down and organize my SXSW stuff. Actually, what I did was complete a comprehensive journal of my trip to Austin last month. Then I realized that no one would really give a flying crap about that except me. So, i've opted to just go ahead and just compile a list of the acts that I...

I'm still pissed that I missed Flogging Molly. It was sold out by the time I found out about it.

Got to catch the HorrorPops at the Troc last night. Great show, for the most part. The 'clap or we wont play' scenario got a little old, but I got over it.

On another note, Im thinking that my time here on SG is coming to a close. It just seems that I dont really 'DO' anything with this anymore...I barely look at the new...

I'm such a lazy fucking asshole. Not only do a waste most of the day, but I completely forgot about a gig that interested me. Morningwood is playing right now at the Trocadero. Yeah, it's on my last. yeah, I wasnt to go see them play. Yeah, Im fucking stupid. I havent showered or anything, and it would take me about 30 minutes just to...

OK...still working on my SXSW review. Im fucking lame, I know. In the meantime, I've seen a couple of shows here in Philly (and had a few pre-show drinks with Mr.Seaniefresh).

Wed: Yeah Yeah Yeahs. I've waited a couple of years to see them play. And to be honest, I wasnt impressed. Karen seemed like a lot of fun. She was enjoying...

Sooo...I just got back into town from my escapade in Austin and Dallas. SXSW was a goddamn blast...and dont let anyone else tell you otherwise. I saw about 10+ bands a day, starting at 1pm and ending around 2am. I'm in the process of compiling my list of bands, my reviews, and my pics. Ill more on later in the week.

Also, I've come to...

I'm so goddamn pissed at MYSELF. I set my alarm to get up early today for one of the last days I'll have to snowboard. You know what? I didnt bother to TURN ON THE ALARM. That's right...i woke up at 11am. Nice. So, I decide to try and get up to the poconos regardless. A few hours of boarding is better than none. So,...

Wow....I actually missed the Sisters of Mercy tonight. I was tired as hell from snowboarding all day. However, I was supposed to go yesterday just so I wouldnt fall into this pre-conceived trap. I couldnt get up yesterday, and I barely got up today. But I HAD to go snowboarding. Just the feeling of getting out of my house for one day and live a...

I'm hoping I'm not getting removed from your friends list. Because, yeah, we don't get to chit chat that often, but I do consider your big dumb ass a good friend.

Saw the Helacopters and Nebula last night. Holy shit was that placed packed! It was one of those times that the Khyber WAY oversold the show so we were packed in like sardines. So most of the show was done hiding upstairs, which means we unfortunately missed Nebula, but the Helacopters were tight so that made up for it.
nyssa:
I enjoyed the flower show.. it was better than last year's, but my mom and I still managed to critique most of the displays. But most of the comments I heard were enthusiastic. My problem is that I work in the industry - so I have an idea of what I'm looking for, and am disappointed when they do the same old thing.


Who knows, maybe something will come up and I'll be able to fall down the slopes this year. Or my board and boots will maintain their virginity till next year.

Let's see...I meant to go snowboarding today, but the nasty sickness that is a HANGOVER has made other plans. My brain feels like its two sizes too big for my skull, my nasal cavity has congested to a small sliver, and my eyes keep telling my brain that I'm a tad bit sideways...even though I'm not. Thats what I get for going to the Standard...

How is it that you get hangovers still? I thought you built up an immunity confused

P.s. have you talked to April (filipina tv producer, not SG) lately?
lufy:
Craptastic, my friend. Get your snowboard-on. It'll do you a world of good. I'm in the middle of a road-trip, right now. I need to clear my mind of the nastiness that's built up inside of me. Therapy is therapy. Wheee!

Sooo...I wake up this morning to find that ALL of the snow has MELTED. That's right. The 1.5 feet of snow that we picked up last weekend is now compeltely GONE. It's 60 degrees F outside right now, apparently. It's also windy as hell, and has been raining. What is super weird is that IT'S SNOWING. Yup...small flakes are falling to the ground. The rain...

Yeah, see that's exactly why eHarmony has gone to the back burner. If I was the "real me" on that site, I'd be burned at the stake skull

Skeleton is just a recent addition to the olympic lineup. I enjoyed watching it.

Snowboardcross was easily the best event. So entertaining.

Rollergirls is just full of a lot of stupid girl drama. It's uninteresting the way the SG DVD is.

ARRR!!!

For those of you that don't know, Im a News Videographer for CBS here in philly. And I work weekends. That means that I'm the fuck that had to stay out all weekend with the snowstorm. That's right....for two days I had to sit in the snow, drive in the snow, pee in the snow....errrr, scratch that last part. Luckily, I was in the city...

I actually started with broadcast stuff. Back in high school I wrote copy for our morning newscast. Did the whole KYW Newstudies program as well. Took a radio and a broadcast newswriting class at Temple too. Somehow the newspaper stuff just grabbed me.

You're right, print journalists do have a much easier transition going to broadcasting than the other way around. Just a matter of editing.

The thought of taking the test in town never came to me. Always figured a rookie without much experience wouldn't have a chance getting work in the 5th or 6th largest market.

ARRR!!!
synflower:
Tues and Weds are probably going to be tough for most...but maybe if we plan it a little in advance?

otherwise, I can usually take Tues and Wed off smile so if nothing else, I'll go! I haven't been up there in a while, but always had a blast when I did take the trip.
