I crashed out at

I crashed out at Juliet’s, in her guest room. I had the luxury of sleeping in and, on waking, came across the collected poems of Bill Matthews – which was a lovely way to while away a bit of time. Everybody needs an apple a day. I realized, right before I left, that I hadn’t…

The Attic

3:00AM. This is the attic in Mike’s place, where most of the rehearsals took place. We hauled all the equipment up here, and I stopped to take a few shots of the place. Not an overly spacious area, but perfect for a few guys to get together and make music. Mike’s done an awesome job…

Cropchecker: Andyman’s Treehouse

Andyman’s Treehouse. This venue is tucked away between some industrial-looking buildings in Grandview. It’s remarkably close to the first apartment complex I lived in, and time has done nothing to help me remember where this place is. As far as I can recall, I was only ever been here once (most of our drinking took…

Dinner and a Visit

Juliet got off of work around 5PM, and we all hung out at her place for a bit. We ordered a pizza, and she ended up making a fruit smoothie that we split. Nerd that I am, I ended up taking a lot of video and pictures of the whole process. Now, some days after…

Columbus Percussion

Stopped in to Columbus Percussion, so Matt could pick up a few things prior to the show. I spoke with a few of the folks behind the counter, and they were cool with me taking pictures inside the store. I had no idea there were this many different types of sticks. One of the things…

Searching for Food

Matt and I stopped by the famous Taco Ninja, hoping to grab some grub… but unfortunately, the place was closed. The actual restaurant is housed inside a bar, and this is the resplendent entryway. Ninjas don’t need fancy signage – they just need a dark doorway to sneak into! So instead, we head to one…

Poker Madness

Around 7:00 PM Chris and I drove out to the burbs, and entered in a poker tournament with some of Ben’s friends from church. $10 buy-in, and I walked into the thing fairly cocky, thinking I’d do pretty well. Fast forward ninety minutes, and I get knocked out about halfway. Chris holds on a bit…

Kind of a Big Dork

From: AnnTo: FelixSubj: misc. Felix, Now sorry I have been so remiss in the quick response department. The quarter just started, so thereís been syllabus writing, arguing with the library reserves people, students clamoring to get in my class because the other instructors are on crack… blah, blah, blah. Actually, one of the other instructors…

I had a pretty decent

I had a pretty decent day at work today. Got a lot done, and I had planned on spending tonight trying to work more on Stu’s new website. On top of that, I had a decent idea for a poem, and wanted to try to scribble for a little bit, before I settled down to…

A site filled with “little nuggets of information.” Currently, she’s got an open call for anyone to submit potential topics. Did I mention that Juliet has…
