Gambier Island/Harsh Barge

went to Gambier Island for Dawdaw's birthday, it was real fun. we got soaked the second night but that was ok. met this dude that took us on a barge ride and we swam and did party. summers over, time to blog.
Jill took all these photos.

river racket (of damnation)

Claire and I made a net/racket to hit pinecones across the creek with.

It was unholy, so we made it known...

ten laid it to rest in its eternal, diabolical resting place.

SPIRALS

The lack of doodles/art junk I've been posting can pretty much directly be attributed to the ammount of time I've been spending learning to play guitar and write riffs. My band Spirals played two shows last week, one with The Boogieman and Needles//Pins, the second one with The Get Down and the almighty Barnburner. Nice to see those BB dudes again, and even radder to share the stage with the dude that got me stoked on playing guitar in the first place.
Also I recently picked up a 70's National Les Paul copy and a Boss HM-2 to make my Ampeg sound more like my Sunn. Apparently diverting my nerdery away from toys and into old gear. Great, a more expensive version of hording that features larger items of clutter. Fingers crossed for the best.

RIDING ACROSS THE DESERT ON A FINE ARAB CHARGER

I'm a simple man i suppose, but nothing brings me more boozy joy than singing this catastrophic/incredible Stones jam. Granted its one of their worst albums. But try and get that bassline out of your head (you won't be able to).

YOU WILL BE MINE YOU WILL BE MINE ALL MINE

R.I.P. favorite glass

My E.T. cup got busted, big deal, i know. Here's a commercial for it, alongside a delicious pizza. Beee gooodddd.

Razor

Rocket Queen

Tonight the streets are ours

i always liked this guys voice, maybe its cause i like Morrissey so much and they are sort of comparable? either way, this was the song in the closing credits of Exit Through the Gift Shop (which you should go see asap) and i've been singing it for the last couple days. jam it.

Eva

I met Eva on the bus, on the way to see Weezer at the Pacific Coliseum on April 26, 2002. Her friends were the funnest and we spent the summer together. Some of my best friendships of my life came from that time.

Throughout her life Eva struggled with cystic fobrosis, and that terrible ailment took her on Saturday. She ran a blog that brought alot of awareness to the cause and also was featured in the documentary '65_redroses', and later awarded the Summerhayes award in the hospital.
Best outlook on life, I wish I had have stayed close with her.
Rest in peace my friend, you were the best.

party monster

weekends are neat

i set up a new skateboard and did some mild thrashing, took claire to my secret hideout, and watched some groovy bands, pretty awesome, although i feel horrendous.

BLACK BREATH

Black Breath is the best band, seriously. Saw them again last night in Bellingham, Heiress (featuring John Pettibone) was supposed to play but the cops invtervened and the show was moved, for whatever reason they didn't show up at the second venue. Oh well.
