how sad, about the wayne mansion!
Friday night, I went to a party @ Mary Patton's. She does all the local music and in-store shows @ Amoeba records. She always encourages people to bring instruments for drunken sing-alongs.
Last week, I brought my guitar and was the only one. The party was pretty packed, so it didn't happen. I even got made fun of by a few obnoxious drunks, but I...

It's been a while since I"ve updated. My back got tweeked last Tuesday, but it's getting better.
I had to drop my statistics class. The teacher told me I needed a laptop w/ excel. This information wasn't in the course description. I was pissed at first, but then I realized I should have a laptop if I'm going back to school anyway. So, this semester...

that's sort of crazy that a laptop i *required* for class. anyway, i think you should go ahead and get a refurbished ibook. my mac, which i've had for a year now, is nice and solid. i'm so happy with it. i know about the chip change ... but i'm not sure how much that will affect the way programs etc work. but you might wanna find more of a tech-head person to ask. i just dabble.

everybody i heard the other night could have benefitted from some street playing.

I'm going to Chicago for four days for a family reunion. I'll get to see the Cubs vs. Marlins at Wrigley on Saturday. I'm looking forward to it, but am a bit wary at the same time. It'll be good to see that whole side of my family, but will probably be draining.
My return flight is the same day as my first day of...

re: freedom. in a lot of ways your right, the neo-republical thinkers (and strong democrats) would say that as *individuals* we cannot really be free. that freedom - both as a capacity to control your own fate and providing institutions to protect your own space of autonomy - depend on society. so ya know, freedom requires cooperation and interdependence. it tends to be an idea that i'm sympathetic to.
public service - is tricky too. people DO need to be more involved in the running of their government. though, i'm also a firm believer in a place for professional politicians and bureaucrats. they just have time and expertise to do these things in a way that maybe i (or you, or my neghbors etc) could not. we just need to find the GOOD ones - and that's possible. we already tend to find good bureaucrats (re: most do their job, do it well). we could work on finding better politicians (though, i think MOST *are* trying to serve the public). but ya know, we can always choose to tweak our institutions to implement measures to help us "select" better officials.

i was at taix and the guy got chased through their parking lot. near as i could tell, everything started at that church on alvarado just north of sunset, up from the coffee joint. someone said it was a party at the church of northern mexicans infiltrated by southern mexicans, so it was a turf war transposed a few hundred miles, but i don't know if that's true.

great pics. new bike looks sweet.
This is an addition to my last post...
I ended up blowing off the Farmer's Market. I don't eat much at home now that I work the swing shift. I ended up riding into Hollywood to go to the bike shop. They're going to try and find me a bike and start a layaway plan.
LA is such a great town on two wheels. I...

Sorry I didn't get back to you earlier. I had two friends visiting from Sweden. Small world isn't it. Some nice pictures of Echo Park and vincinity there. I've seen that crazy van crusing around Hollywood as well. Actually there is a few of those running around. When Justin gets back from France and you guys are playing again let me know, and please tell Nick I said Hello and I wish him well (I miss Popdefect). I'm still working at Headline on Melrose. If you happen into that part of town on Wed, Fri, or Sat. stop in I'll be there. Take care.

Thanks for the sweet comment that you left on my set the other day!!!! 
My band is going on hiatus until Sept. Justin goes to France for a month every year. He & his wife own a little shack there. So, I'll have to go into writing mode to stay busy. Working more on writing & solo stuff. Maybe I'll do another solo set. It's a little frustrating, but I should use it as an opportunity to do the...

Everything was copacetic
I think I asked her to dinner too soon?
She asked me if it was a date.
I just wanted to repay her kindness
She's been so good to me
I couldn't afford to take anyone out
until now

Now things are awkward
Did I make freaky freaky?

these sgs just never read what you write, do they? j/k. coco's reply makes for a hilarious juxtaposition. i take it you're afraid you might have scared someone off? i never cry over spilt soy milk. i hate that shit.

Our show really went well on Sunday. obd even showed up as well as Wan, but he was too late. There wasn't a huge crowd, since it was a Sunday, but it was cozy.
We showed up at 8 and couldn't park in the driveway by the door to load in because there was another van sitting there. It turned out to be Bleach...

thanks for your concern.
"we're" havin' a fellopian tube removed in hopes that it will help get us preggers.
sounds silly , i know but, she's got a bum ovary so it's supposed to help.
they go in through the bellybutton, not super invasive.
this is good.
i could go on but i wont.
the shards.
check.
