Two bands remain unmatched in how worthwhile their live shows are. One is The Roots. The other is Arcade Fire. I’m extremely lucky to have seen both groups live twice. As evidence as to why I split…
Bought: Nine West Runway Relief boot. →
No sooner had I publicly decreed “…no more spending unless the G12 comes out before Kauai. No, seriously,” than the Nine West Runway Relief boots I’ve been eyeing went on sale. Cotdang!

Bonnie road trips with Band of Horses. →
While it’s no nine-day commute, driving eighty miles a day to-and-from work is not my cup of tea. I owe it to myself to go to the library and stock up on some audiobooks, but even then, I’ll be…

The Handsome G12. →
When it comes to traveling, I’m an opportunist. Bill and I booked tickets to Kauai in September, and the discussion to do so didn’t even happen until a couple of weeks ago. Bill’s dad is a…

Hey! Still alive. Just haven’t had a lot of time to sit down, breathe, and go through pics from Boston. Successfully got Bill to voluntarily enter a club last night. Stoked for Lady Gaga in…

My boss told me to check out our splash page.
“The back to school splash page?” I said.
“No, just look at the homepage.”
So I did, and then I had to take a drink of water.

San Fran Frisco. →
Even though I grew up in Fremont, I feel like a professional Bay Area resident. (Almost typed “Bay Arean,” but “arean” sounds too much like “Aryan,” and, well, I’m not blonde.) Went to school at…

Immah Milslap you ‘cross the face! →
…Just kidding.
We spent the weekend in Milsap (Not “Mil-slap.”), where I had the time of my life jumping from cliffs, swinging from ropes, and hopping from rock to rock. So much fun! (Minus the…
