1. Going to Chicago in early summer with Honeybee and Lindsay to play a show with Colour Revolt and Snowden and staying a few days there with our amazing friend Erin.  It was amazing, we also got to meet and hang out with some of Lindsay’s good friends which was  blast.
2. Going to L.A. with Lindsay to visit the ridiculously awesome Laura and her other amazing friends.  There were beaches, Pink Berry’s, Family, Ooga Booga, Laura and Lindsay obsessing over a waitress and how cool she is, Lindsay doing a flip in a huge wave and water poring out of her nose a few hours later, and many other fun happenings.
3. Honeybee and Bear Country getting a residency at the Bemis to work on our albums!  Five to Seven practices a week is killing me but it is worth it!
4. Hanging out and falling in love with all of the Honeybees!  Such awesome and nice and caring and cool people.
5. Moving into a beautiful house with Lindsay!  Pictures to come.
6. Hanging out with K.C. more.  So fun!  Nature drives, grilled cheese at B&G and tons of Mount Eerie listening.
7. New co-worker!  Matt is suuuuper rad!  I hope he stays for a long time!
8. New what-cheerio!  When did this happen?  I can’t remember, but hes very good!  I envy his action-script skills.
9. Turned 24!  This was five days ago.
10. Last two Mr. 1986 shows ever :(  both were on my top 10 shows of the year list though!
11. I will maybe add to this list in the future

Last night was the Sigur Ros show at the Orpheum. Lindsay and I went after eating at Goldbergs II. It was also the night of the second worst storms of the year. When we got there they weren’t letting people sitedown yet because they wanted to make sure the Tornado warnings would be over before the band played, so we, along with a hundred or so other people, just sat outside in the pouring rain. It was really fun. There were two casualties though, my socks, and Lindsay’s umbrella. The Umbrella broke while Eric, Mary, Lindsay and I were putting our umbrellas together to make a giant umbrella. It was working well for about thirty seconds until the force of a giant gust of wind pushed our umbrella inside out and broke some of the metal pieces. As for my socks, I had to throw them away. I was wearing my toms (http://tomsshoes.com), which was not a great choice for a rainy night, and they got soaked along with my socks. So I threw the socks away. Oh, and the show was freaking amazing!

Here is a photo of some people running into the Orpheum right after they opened up the seating.
