With the scholarship numbers increasing to 105 it would be a good idea to have a couple of each on campus.

He's a great example that perseverance and hard work will pay off. He's a great Longhorn and representative of the team. We are so fortunate that he loved this team so much that he believed in himself enough to walk on and earn a scholarship vs. play elsewhere.

This is in the Gifford Pinchot National Forest somewhere between the end of the Swift reservoir (Northwoods) and the Lower Lewis River Falls. About 1.5 hours outside of Vancouver, WA.

Spent some time in the forest this past weekend. Willow is an adventure dog and was in her happy place.

Fingerbanging his gf in high school resulted in a trip to the ER.

FYI - if you, @utee94, and @BurntEyes want to go on a trip down nostalgia lane you can see Stabbing Westward play.

Had a buddy text me from the show say there was an Arc Angels reunion and they were playing Bowie.

Gonna consume some Kanna chocolates and see TR/ST tonight.

I could see him at Colorado.

Do you need to water house plants less in the winter?

This is a free show for all y'all in Austin. Might need to make a reservation.

I did it! Just had a great conversation with Lindsey. She's down for a backyard concert. They are releasing an album next year and will be touring in the summer so it'll line up perfectly. Turns out we have a lot of common connections both here in Portland and in Austin. Submitting photographic evidence.

At least I got a couple more flyers for the wall.

I'm thinking more like

I took too long to edit so had to submit a 2nd post Shit went a little sideways this weekend. Still have Annabelle Chairlegs (and Lindsey) tonight. May fate smile upon me. Thursday night was Bodega - however, they cancelled and I didn't see the email until I was looking for the tickets thursday afternoon. Womp womp Friday I went to see Shadowgraphs. They are typically a chill psych rock band. Not this night. The drummer was going way too fast. The lead singer even called out the drummer a couple of times but to no avail. Turned into a punk rock show instead. I like their recorded stuff better. I saw them a couple of years ago when they were the local opener for Elephant Stone with Frankie & the Witch Fingers. I thought Shadowgraphs were the best band of the night at that show. It didn't even sound like the same band on this night. Next up was Black Lips on Saturday night. The opener was Pancho and the Wizards. They were fucking great. Had an Osees vibe. They gained a new fan in me. Black Lips were fun unhinged southern rock. I enjoyed them but liked the opener better. Funny moment when people in the crowd would shout out a song title. The rockabilly bass player was like, "we don't remember how to play that. We have a 400 song catalog and can only play 10%". lol Sunday night is where shit really went sideways. My gf (no pics) and I went to Revolution Hall (Portland, Or) to see The Black Angels, or so I thought. I was finishing off a cider when I walked in the entrance. In the vestibule they had two trash cans and two dudes checking IDs. I threw my can in the in the trash and pulled out my ID. Not so fast - one of the dudes looked at the can and says to me "you can't come in. OLCC rules. You can't bring an alcoholic beverage on the property of an establishment that sells alcohol." I point at the trash and say "I threw it in the garbage as soon as I walked in". "You can't come in. We could lose our liquor license." Asshole on a power trip. Any other person would have said "you can't bring that in. Throw it in the garbage". Not this dick. I know it was my bad but he could have been a little more flexible. Prick. So we leave and walk around the building to try another entrance. Nope, he got on the radio and put out an APB. I'm pretty pissed at this point but there's nothing much I can do. The Black Angels are my girl's favorite band and I was upset that I fucked it up for her. I asked the dude if she could still go in and he acquiesced. I told her to go enjoy the show. I would pivot and go to another show and pick her up later. I've seen BA probably 10+ times since they started in 2004 so missing it wouldn't kill me. I just wanted to have a fun night with the GF. Luckily, there were several great concerts scheduled for Sunday night. My cousin's band, The Black Doors, were opening for The Mystery Lights at another venue 10 minutes away so I jumped in the car and hauled ass. I got to Polaris Hall and got to see the last two songs from my cousin and then saw a great set by The Mystery Lights. They were awesome. I was still heated but I was able to enjoy myself. It's a much smaller venue and I was able to get right up on the stage. Hopefully my luck is a little better tonight for the Annabelle Chairlegs show. Pray for me @sidis

Shit

I think there's enough room to blame both of you. Should we invite anyone else to the party?

I'm going to blame you, @Vegas64. I read it here first.

Well, we'll know who to blame if this comes to pass.

I had high hopes for him but he never realized his potential. I hope he's able to find a good spot and contribute.

Saw this one last night. Very modern editing techniques and storytelling. Feels like a new generation of filmmaker. Total mindfuck. Loved it.

I have a pretty good lineup this weekend. Might have to down a few red bulls. Thur: Bodega Fri: Shadowgraphs Sat: Black Lips Sun: The Black Angels Mon: Annabelle Chairlegs (prepare thyself Lindsey)

Willow's patience is being tested.
