Happy birthday to this guy

A Very Berry Weekend

As you all know - we've held a residency at this awesome church called Berry for the last year. This weekend is going to be a rip-roaring good time! We'll start with Friday and move forward. Come check out our diverse congregation!

ONE: Our friend Tim and his awesome band (also friends) are FINALLY putting out their 3-year-in-the-making record. Celebrate with us on Friday night!


TWO:The second Fair Trade Market takes place Saturday with performances by a ton of our friends! Come check out non-sweat/fair-wage goods from around the world (even some from the Chicagoland area). Word to the wise, arrive early, because Ryan, Tales from Tuckaway, plays at 10 AM. Early morning improv! Listen to "Trans" and tell me that you don't want to wake up to that! I DARE YOU.


THREE:The "Love Makes A Family" exhibit! I'm really excited about this. Our friend, Brent, has arranged for a traveling exhibition of family portraits from within the GLBT community to be installed in the Heritage Room at Berry. Come confront your notions and stereotypes in this incredible collection.


Ba Dap Ba Ba Ba, I'm lovin' it.

I'LL GIVE YOU TWO GUESSES

It all looks so familiar...

IT COULDN'T BE... COULD IT?

NOW PLAY MY MUSIC!

1. I finally have an apartment.
2. Which means I have a place for my things.
3. One of which is a computer.
4. That I'm using right now to type to you.
5. Yes really.

I was long lost. Hopefully it'll be alright adding another voice back in.

And a belated:

6. I have to be up in five hours... to be honest, I was just stopping by for a late night hello.
7. It's good to be in the neighborhood again.

Hello! Goodnight! Good morning!

listen for the startled noise

Planning on spending tomorrow night creating Simpsons tributes out of color-coded file folders on your desktop? Isn't that more of a Saturday morning thing? Everyone knows that Thursday is the new Friday! Lets have some fun perceiving the world!

"Do something every day, regardless. Nothing will happen unless you first initiate a process of cause and effect. This starts with an action. Reawaken the possibility of possibility. Reawaken it with play." - David Horvitz

Tyrone got SO scared!

WE KEEP ON ARRIVING

Just in case you missed this afternoon's online "Daily Kiss" feature of Cosmo Girl:

Life is good. No, wait.
It's GREAT.

"If there’s one thing I’ve learned over the past few years it’s that a girl can never know too much about indie music. Think about it: When the littlest known bands make it big (and they often do) you can say you heard them first! Just look at The National. I saw them a few years ago when no one had heard of them and now they’re touring with R.E.M. and Modest Mouse and their songs have been featured on One Tree Hill . So stick with me ladies, and I’ll hook you up with the music you need to know. (I’ll even let you take credit for “discovering” them!)

Allow me to introduce you to Anathallo. While you may think you’ve never heard their music you probably have. Their song is featured in a commercial for Vicks Cough Medicine (the one where it’s raining Vicks drops). Okay, sure, it’s not the sexiest of products to be linked to but it makes sense. Anathallo’s sound is so soothing to the soul it’ll cure you of just about anything. They’re a big group—6 guys and one girl—and after seeing them live I’m totally hooked. Their live show is like a shot of happiness! So check them out okay? You'll be glad you did.

Heart,

PROM 2008!!!!

Have wonderful weekends everyone. We're all back home in Mount Pleasant for a few days... Nate has his recital tomorrow and we'll be playing a few songs (CALVIN COLLEGE STYLE) with trombone choir accompaniment. Including, perhaps, an unheard Canopy Glow track. Perhaps.

It's free and you're invited! And if you can't come, youtube is free and you'll eventually be invited. No promises (!) but that's the hope.

Take care.
