fbc ride 9/15

The FBC ride ended at Rue on Washington Ave. It had been a long time since I'd been on a full moon ride. I was accompanied by a smallish (shared) bottle of Wild Turkey American Honey, which was just as exceptionally smooth as the bottle promised.

bodies of water

I'm really stuck on listening to Bodies of Water. Have you heard them? If not, listen to them. I was immediately in love with at the sound of a capella singing about gold, tan, peach, and grey sweatshirts.

bellafea

Last Sunday, the shitty friends played their first show ever in their existence of a couple of weeks with the fantastic Bellafea, from North Carolina. Sure, I might be biased because I've been friends with the band since the days of the defunct Muff Dive (circa early 00s), but they are rad and I'm always glad to share a stage (or floor, more accurately) or meal with them.

introducing the shitty friends

There's this band that I'm in with Maggie and Jay. We like bathrooms, but we also like to make music.

Blogging my consumer life

So, I have been working for www.yelp.com. I feel like I'm blogging my consumer life, and I guess, well, I'm blogging my consumer life. Not really in a chronological way, but still. There's also photos of places. Some of them aren't very exciting.

If you don't know about yelp, and to be honest, I didn't know much, but it's a review site meant to promote local businesses and help people figure out what to do in their city. Here is my profile on there if you're interested in having a look: Me

A night with dudes

David showed up in town unexpected so I ended up out with him, Mike (for a while), Dave, and Shaun. The last drink of the evening was a round of Chimay bought by Shaun.
