I just (finally) bought my ticket back here:
Historical tours, haunted houses & an Atlantic Ocean… Can’t wait.

The Wine Tour.
Sunday, April 27, 2008
This weekend’s trip to the Yakima Valley for my first wine tasting tour ever was pretty great. Some highlights included the 2004 Tartan Red made by Cowan Vineyards, 2006 Mourvedre made by Kestrel Vintners (from the barrel, to be released in Fall 2009) & the 2004 Angel’s Blend available at Heaven’s Cave. Hopefully [...]
McDonough, Studio 360
Tuesday, April 22, 2008
“I reflect on the fact that it took us 5,000 years to put wheels on our luggage. So, we’re not really that smart as a design species. But if you look at a tree and think of it as a design assignment it would be like asking you to make something that makes [...]
All Apologies and Smiles, Yours Truly, Ugly Valentine
Sunday, April 20, 2008
I spent the better part of the past two hours uploading music from an extensive catalog of mp3s I’ve acquired over the past few years. These uploads included, Carissa’s Wierd, a band I truly loved but have not listened to in around two years. Their sound and live show greatly influenced the way I looked [...]
Where it comes from.
Monday, April 14, 2008
Recently the Comfort Food Cafe (I love so much) changed their hours and are now only open for lunch and dinner on Friday’s and Saturday’s. This is a little bit of a bummer because spending Monday morning there with a magazine, coffee & a flax seed muffin was often one of my favorite parts [...]
So long…
Sunday, April 13, 2008
The first day resembling spring has gone as quickly as it came. Here indoors I’ve been scouring the calendars of my favorite Seattle venues. May and June seem to be promising months for live music (outside of the Sasquach Music Festival, thank god). Among those touring through are: Margot & the Nuclear [...]
Most Important Songs of 2008: 1st Quarter
Monday, April 7, 2008
We’ve made it through the first three months of 2008! Hooray!!! So far, I’ve followed through with my decision to choose one song per week that is especially important to me. These associations are often random, sometimes chronological and at other times emotional. So, even though these are posted at an [...]
“So many times, we drank fine wine in one swallow.”
Sunday, April 6, 2008
This girl was born in the United Kingdom in the year 1990. Her name is Laura Marling and her music is mature for her 18 years. Her debut album “Alas, I Cannot Swim” was released a couple months ago (on Virgin Records UK). The style is pretty pure female-folk-singer but there are [...]
Choices. Rewards.
Friday, April 4, 2008
I was so hungry I ate a full bowl of steamed asparagus and an even bigger bowl of salad. That was a lot of green food.
Sticking with something while it changes is one of the most difficult things to do. Yet, we all do it every day. It’s a choice, quite possibly one [...]
Deer Tick’s a Daytrotter
Tuesday, April 1, 2008
As if Deer Tick wasn’t beautiful or amazing enough, on March 28th he was asked into the Daytrotter studio to make some exclusive live recordings. The version of “Ashamed” that is posted using piano, upright bass, drums & John McCauley’s intimate rhasp is the first song posted and was the first to blow me [...]
