Quick update!

I saw Ice Cube on Friday, the review of which is here. Not pictured: my totally awesome press pass. Pictured below this paragraph: the totally awesome "Gangsta Rap Made Me Do It" t-shirt I bought at the show. Alas, the show itself was less-than-awesome. Oh well. We press on. Tomorrow: the Joy Formidable. Tuesday: Francis & the Lights.



Saturday night, I was supposed to review Bright Eyes, but Conor Oberst and his massive ego said no. Very well, then. I went out on a bar crawl with Jonathan and Conor (not Oberst) downtown. Bobby joined us for the first destination of the evening, and was kind enough to pick me up from the final bar at the end of the night.

Tonight we had the aforementioned gentlemen over for dinner and a showing of Hedwig and the Angry Inch on the massive screen that is now hanging from our ceiling. Seriously, if I buy a popcorn machine we will be operating a movie theater. We made pasta with goat cheese and veggies, and C and J brought us a cake. It was an excellent conclusion to yet another stellar weekend in Portland.

By the way, the blog (and my website) are currently undergoing a huge overhaul. Expect a spiffy new design in the next month or so. For now, it's bedtime.
