I know,I know I suck at life and I will try my hardest not to make these entries only once a week when there are tons of things going on.Well this weekend was over packed.Between the Bunny Camp,Gritsy,random goings on at the Silo,rehearsals,and shows my brain is barely functioning.Did I mention my day job moved my hours up an hour so the new day is 6am to 4:30...yeah ridiculous right?ahhhh anyway this weekend looks like I maybe going to Denton...but the museum is supposedly featuring the boys from Tha Fucking Transmissions or TFT according to the flyer.Should be a good time...anyway I'll either edit this later or write a more thought out entry later.Happy monday!

man oh man oh man

So this weekend was a ridiculous one. I brought in my birthday on Friday at midnight while at the Los Skarnales show at Fitzgerald's. I have been going to Skarnales shows for years and must say that it was one of the best shows I had seen them do to date.I ran into a bunch old friends and brought in 21 with Jagerbombs and whiskey sours.To continue the madness on Saturday night after I did a mini set at Rhythymatic I went to my birthday party at Boondocks.Dirty Honey was going on,Witnes was on the turntables,even more familiar faces came out and drowned yours truly in Red Snappers,kamikazes and more Jager!Needless to say that somewhere in between the liquor,havikoro bboy circles,and 2am I wound up safely on my friend Christa's couch.Thanks for the good time folk! There are a lot of good shows/events happening this week so I am going to just drop my endorsement down on a few of them! Tonight
Wicked poseur and Awake and Boondocks'
O'Pioneers and Teenage Cool Kids at The White Swan Tuesday The Umbrella Man with The Pearls at The Continental Club(I'm in both bands so I have to promote!)

Looks like its going to be a pretty awesome week filled with some really great shows so I hope to see you guys out and about.

Congrats Barack!!!

This made my week!

So my very first Dillo Day at Northwestern University was a good one featuring performances by the cool kids,broken social scene,third eye blind,2 sets by flosstradomus(spelled so wrong i'm sure) and a closing performance by Common. Let me just say Northwestern must be one of the nicest college campuses next to Pepperdine in Malibu,CA that I have ever seen.The day was a bit out of control with the mud taking over everyones body but it was all in all a great time.I'll edit this later to add photos.

This week is my birthday week and I'm excited and I've already mentioned that I will be having my party at boondocks Saturday night but Friday I will be returning to my oh so nerdy ska roots and checking out one of my fave local bands of all time Los Skarnales along with other fellow homeboys Brains For Dinner at Fitzgerald's my birthday weekend is sure looking to be a good one!































Also if you are out and about tonight come to the Continental Club where I will be singing with the Umbrella Man! Have a great Tuesday!

RIP Bo Diddley

Before I start babbling about my Chicago trip I just wanted to pay a respect to the man that is Bo Diddley. Rest in peace.
