I spoke with someone from Murfreesboro, Tennessee, today.

I almost asked him--"do you know jjks, by chance?", but then realized how silly and desperate that would have been.

The rats and children follow me out of town.

jjks--

June 11-13

I've been thinking about  going to Bonnaroo this year, are you really going???

The only lineup that looks better than this is Coachella (which the Shins are riumored to be playing)

www.coachella.com

Yeah, I like the Coachella lineup better, too (Wilco, Pixies, Lips, Radiohead, among others).  

Tennessee is just a little easier for me to get to right now, and it's a little farther off, time-wise.

But yeah, if they were both equal, I'd definitely go to California.

I'll have to get together with my concert buddy Jeremy and see what he thinks--we're just in the tentative planning stages for Bonnarroo right now.

(Now, "The Shins"?  I've been hearing a lot about them.  What do you think?)

BUMP!

Yes, well, that ain't me--I don't just have a Darth Maul beach towel hanging over the window, I'm decked out with the entire Phantom Menace bedroom set, kit and caboodle.  So yeah.

Anyway, thought I'd do a Google Image Search for "OCB", and see what I found, and, imagine my shock (and delight) (and horror) when the first thing that pulled up was this:



Hello, new avatar.

I usually hate Sandra Bullock, but now...

Yeah

Damn, didn't know you were a baller, how are your skillz

BTW, I think that's a charge on Fatty B. in that shot there.

He wasn't set.

Go get some sun, Birchall...  

Got a spare bedroom?  Or at least a couch?
