SXSW 09 – The Aftermath

It was, as per usual, amazing. Though it has gotten a lot harder to get into the night shows without an exorbitantly priced pass or impossible to acquire wristband, we still saw a lot of great bands. Such as: *The Shaky Hands *The Paper Chase *Hey Marseilles *The Rosebuds *Juliette and the New Romantiques *Natalie [...]

Seattle Snowpocalypse 08 is Here!

It’s damn cold in Seattle this week. Like, 18 degrees with windchill cold. We are not accustomed to this sort of cold. I have been wearing as many layers as possible and feeling a little bit like this: But at least I’m warm. Not that I’m complaining (much). Because there’s actually snow involved in this [...]

Rockin’ Birthday Eve

My second annual 29th birthday coincided with my new life as a freelancer. The good news about my freelancing career is that so far I have had plenty of work. The bad news is that it’s a little too much work. I have been very busy and very tired and haven’t really had time to [...]

To the Sisters Go the Spoils

This past Saturday was the 6th Annual Dodecathelon, the 12 event competition created by my husband to be held on his birthday every year. This is the 4th one that I have attended. The last two years, I have come in 3rd place. There was a little strategy involved but I mostly attribute my placement [...]

My Excellent Mexico Adventure

Three days after our wedding, B. and I woke up at an ungodly hour to catch a 6am flight to Mexico for our honeymoon. We packed only light summer clothing and I pointedly placed my umbrella on the bench by the door saying “I won’t be needing YOU for a while”. This is what they [...]

Wedding Day Wrap-Up

You KNOW you want it. We had a short but sweet ceremony in Discovery Park. Alex played “The Air That I Breathe” on acoustic guitar. Elyse read “He Wishes for the Cloths of Heaven” by William Butler Yeats and then delivered a beautiful (and religion-free) ceremony, thus fulfilling her officiating duties perfectly. B.’s vows promised, [...]

What Happens In Vegas Goes on Flickr

Here are some pictures from our recent Vegas excursion. I really loved the MGM Grand lions, especially since I learned they didn’t actually live in that tiny habitat. Common children’s names which warrant license plate production. What kind of nerd would pretend a garbage can was a Dalek?

Music in Pictures

As evidenced by my pictures from the Raconteurs show, rock shows are hard to photograph unless you are right up close. Luckily, there was more going on at Tuesday’s Yelle show at The War Room than just fun French pop. The Brunswicks delighted in tormenting a passed out man whose reserved booth we pilfered, with [...]

Life Update in Pictures

Here are some things I've been up to: January 08: B’s company Holiday Party with Sci-Fi theme. February 08: Flew to Arizona, picked up a car and B. and drove back home. March 08: Ides of March themed birthday party for Brick. PS: Yes, I finally bought a flickr account. As an aspiring octogenarian, I [...]
