NEVER HANG UP YOUR BOOTS: November 2008

I grew up small town but i always knew i'd get out of that some how.

Occasionally you have a wonderful weekend with friends when you are convinced you could never leave this town. You are convinced that buying your groceries on your thirty min lunch break and hauling them to your next job until 3:30am when you can finally put them in your fridge is perfectly normal and all is just and as it should be.

Urban Barn's Xmas celebratory dinner:

I'm glad I work with friends it makes these gatherings entirely tolerable

the end.

until the rhythm melts my bones

easy listening:

A poet with all the answers has never yet been built

The last few days in my life have been filled with familiar faces, new faces, familiar places, new places social events and complete randomness. These are the chronicles of my THURSDAY,FRIDAY,SATURDAY & SUNDAY:

Thursday night I went to Color mag/Redbull's Shoot To Thrill skate video premiere at the garrick. Afterwards a few of us headed across the street to War on Music to play arcade games.

Then to the pyramid

Friday evening started with attending Cam's work xmas party. Kinda awkward

but the delicious grilled portabello mushroom dinner made up for that

Later on after overcoming a few obstacles I finally made it

to the pyramid to see Kevin's band Barn Burner open for Bison and Priestess

Bison shreddin:

Saturday morning Myself, Kevin and crew went for brunch at falafel place

where we ran into Cam and his brunch posse sitting in the booth behind us

kevin keeeegggs. one of the most entertaining people i know

Saturday night I venture by myself to the Albert to see some thrash metal.

Lexington and Ty guy were there too.

and mike

and shauna

and Cain

POSSESSOR

Sunday ( yesterday) I pulled a 13 hour shift at the albert.

the day goes by a little quicker with visits from your friends

It was also Quentins birthday. He celebrated. This is Brad and Q having

an intense conversation

Once the albert was closed up we headed down the street to

Jon and Jillian's loft. hung out on the roof, talked about wild animal videos, watched

a couple nature videos, chilled hard.

I fell asleep there. woke up and we all ate blueberry pancakes together.

I swapped books with a vancouver groover.

it was a pretty good weekend i'd say

In my own strange way i've always been true to you.

This is a live performance of my favorite Morrissey song. The reason I am posting it here is because of the absurd amount of people that get on stage during this song and hug him, kiss him, touch him and are dragged away by security. It is so awkward that I want to believe it fake.

clearly i've been listening to this song alot lately
to the down but not out.

My pick for second favorite song of the week:

of all the rumors keeping me grounded, i never said i never said they were completely unfounded

Just as there are days where under the familiar face of a woman, we see as a stranger we had loved months or years ago perhaps we shall come to desire what suddenly leaves us so alone.
