on the road again

I'm currently down in Charleston, SC, visiting Caitlin. It's been a good trip so far, although I have been spending more money than I'd like to. I still have a lot of work to do, but relaxing, and not working, has been good for me, I feel. I'm actually looking forward to being home again, however. And to the upcoming conference at Yale. I'm going to get to work and then do some reading, just wanted to update my where-abouts.

Man Man @ purchase

After work, Lex picked me up and we saw Man Man play at Purchase, plus we got to hang out with Cinelli, Cara, her brothers, Gabe, Lee, Cristal, Hanna, and a bunch of others. Man Man is a crazy fucking collective from Philly. Lotsa fun and tons of energy. Imagine if Zappa built some crazy robots and had them play Fugazi waltzes through a circus funhouse mirror.


And so much for my new format. ... One day, once I get caught up with work, reviews, applications, resumes, and updating photos. I think October. Maybe.

more pictures

I uploaded pictures from Berlin, Munchen, and Wien. Italia and France are next.


The new mastadon is pretty decent so far. Not super into them, never bought Leviathon when it came out, but i can appreciate some fine metal guitar work.

Information Session at the UN tomorrow. Just the thought of going down to the city by myself make me feel free. I love traveling around alone. I think being in NY, and not having a car, makes me feel entirely too restricted. I need a city.

Anyone even realize how sometimes we let people have power over us without realizing it. It all comes down to power, doesn't it?

TRL shows at bowery

This week was a great week for shows. On monday, Lexy and I drove down to Harrisburg PA with Zak to see a silver mt zion, and then lex and i saw 3 days of shows at the bowery this weekend, in honor of Temporary Residence, a brooklyn based 'post-rock' label, celebrating their 10th anniversary. Artists included Envy, Explosions in the Sky, and Mono, not to mention, Tarental, cex, eluvium, caroline, and others. We also hung out with Jamie and LeAnna this afternoon, and Laura for like 2 minutes... It's always nice to see those girls in the US. So great shows. I can't wait for more time in the city. I have, perhaps, only 4 more months in NY. 2007 I will be away from NY for, I hope, almost the entire year, so I'd like to do all I can while I'm here. I just need to relax and not get so stressed out over applications. Relaxing is part of this gap year thing. .... I'll see what i can do. I'm already not sleeping. Oh well.
