My parents wrote me from Dublin today. They’re in the middle of a nearly month-long trip during which they have visited family on the east coast and then jumped over to the UK where they will spend the rest of their time. As my parents described their awe of Christ Church Cathedral, I found myself anxious to [...]

For having what I deemed a lazy weekend, I was all over the place. Got a little bonding time in with Seattle, as I hit neighborhoods to the north and south on my hunt for a used road bike, which successfully resulted in coffee, brunch, cupcakes and cowgirl boots, but sadly STILL no bike. We spent [...]

I woke up one morning last week, looked outside at the rain and decided to order a banjo. I found the seller through Etsy and contacted him about making me a custom-built banjo. The style of the banjo is based on what you would have seen in the 1850′s in the south Appalachians. I went with walnut and [...]

I’ve been up since 4am. It is Thursday. I’ve slept maybe 10 hours collectively since Sunday night. Here’s what I’m thinking about: band names. I don’t have one, but if I ever need to name one, I came up with two options. Ready for ‘em? Mass Text Kiss of Death and Jet Lag and the [...]

I have worn my shirt inside out. Backwards. And inside out and backwards. I have worn pants with underwear stuck in the leg and a bra that had cups the size of slurp and gulps. But, until today, I had never worn my pants backwards. I went to the Showbox last night to see The Cave Singers. I’m particularly [...]
A Built to Spill bender
Posted in music, tagged Built to Spill, concerts, music, Portland, Seattle, shows on 08/26/2010 | 7 Comments »
It is a crying shame that a music loving Idahoan has never seen Built to Spill live. So I think I’m going to have to drive my buns down to Portland to see them play at the Crystal Ballroom in November (birthday present to myself, methinks!), since I’ll be gallivanting about the UK when they’re [...]

Fuschia Foxx rollerskating in a pink tutu. Fire breathers. Sword jugglers. Acrobats. Nicole Atkins’ large voice coming from her tiny frame. Soulful jazz that gives you the goosebumps. Head scratching trivia. Trivia that makes you question if you actually ever attended class in college. The above are a few of the delights I’ve experienced at [...]

Ever wonder what it would like to see a show in an empty Costco? Shoxbox Sodo will give you that chance and they’ll overcharge you for a watered down drink while they’re at it.
