Random Thoughts

Tried to get an IPOD Shuffle today. All the Apple stores are sold out and don't expect more til next week.

WSU handled the ball worse today than any college team I have seen in a long time.

Watching Adam Morrison this year eight or nine times has been an absolute pleasure. Just seeing that follow through makes me want to go practice my shot.

I am finally on Bright Eyes bandwagon. Conor Oberst is simply an amazingly accomplished lyricist for a 24 year old. The Wide Awake albumis like Dylan strumming Lou Reed lyrics. I realize that seems insane to say, but it really is remarkable.

The Brazilian Girls CD is the best party-vibe CD to come out in a long time. A little electronica-reggae combo that makes me want to boogie and/or chill and do some things I can't print here.

Heard of the Ruby Doe? They just went out on a West Coast tour and tonight opened for Mudhoney. They are in the NW top 20 and enjoy a featured spot on the Morning Alternative CD (great disc by the way). It's like Fugazi meets early Soundgarden. Very intense with no apologies.
By the way, they were called IODINE when they headlined Boobi's Bash 94 at Jeremy's parent's house. Items were destroyed. It was chaos. South Cove had never rocked that hard before that night and hasn't since.

Really enjoyed the Dylan tune on Verm's playlist. Great way to end a very accomplished playlist. Good Greenlake running music.


Cant' wait for the M's. Beltre!!!!!

Can't wait to watch the tourney at Jeremy's bachelor party.

Sounds like quite a few people will be at the HAD CD release party. Awesome. It's always great to support the house band. Forster is flying in from Arkansas.

Plan on making a night of it on March 5th. Word


I will be in Vegas starting Wednesday. It will be my first public attempt to count cards. Wish me luck!

Can't wait for HAD '05. What time are y'all fixin' to get there that evenin'? And everybody take Chasers cuz I'm bringing Canadians.

Anything that starts with "Brazilian Girls" must be good.

Turn around, Bright Eyes is pretty wild. Saw a great PBS music oncert on tv with him a while back. Enjoy with a couple Blues and some green.

If you change the order of 2 letters in Beltre it spells Belter. Gotta be something to that.

Tourney? Bocce?

If Fugazi really met Soundgarden in the forest would anybody hear it?
I love you all. Cheers.

Team Forster!!! Amazing!!!
I couldn't remember if you were in Arkansas or Chicago or whatever, so I just said Arkansas because it sounded far away and dangerous with the potential for some Deliverance action. Nice to hear from you. Can't wait to see you at the CD release. Bitchin!
