Forget about it




Drinking crap for beer at River City Brewing Company

Starting a "talk about Charles" chant at Cesar Chavez park

Vowing never to eat at Luis Jr's ever again

Paying 3 dollars to drink beer and watch a crappy band at Fox n Goose

Feeling too crappy to play basketball the next morning

Feeling good enough to play Basketball in the afternoon

Getting frustrated at friends who get P. dubbed everytime they date someone

Winning a game of darts at Bon Lair

Trying to hit golf balls at the driving range late at night with good friends

Going kayaking at Lake Natomas

Eating hella good pizza at Chicago Fire

Getting sad about watching the last episode of Freaks and Geeks on DVD

Having tons of dogs and dawgs in my backyard

BBQing and beer drinking (and having my A's hat stolen by Charles)





Is anyone gonna go see Digable Planets at the Empire? I want to, but tickets are 25 a piece!

I'm not a fan at all of the Knockoffs, but I enjoyed Charles's email so much that I have to go to this.

Hey Dudes,

This Friday, yours truely is playing drums in the KnockOffs at one of those Ceasar Cavez in the park shows.

For those of you who don't know, I am very good drummer and it would be worth checking me out this Friday.

Also PLaying are the Didley Sqauts and The Groovie Ghoulies. I won't be playing drums in either of those bands.

Show starts at 5pm. Knockoffs play second.

"On the Y" show recap

neither the coldest nor the cheapest (we were near Loehmann's plaza afterall)


$2.75?!?!?!?! I tried a 4 dollar "sac brew". I liked it, Niki hated it.



Beforhand, Niki and I stopped by Taqueria Guadalajara and got pillow sized burritos


Mine was a little heavy on the lettuce side (and is still giving me stomach troubles the next day)




Chad Stockdale duo was cool. Crazy chaotic feedbacking sax running through a Rat pedal. I'm still trying to figure out how they both ended the songs on the exact same beat. Me likee.



There were hecka babes like this all over the bar!



Eat the People were pretty cool, but played too damn long for a 4 band bill on a weeknight.






Sexy Prison were waaaay better than I remember. Niki says she doesn't think JPs hotdog is kosher...wait...what is my wife doing looking at some other man's hotdog?!?! oh wait...we were all checking out his package. That's right. Definitely my favorite of the night.



...and a crowd pleaser.





It was my first time seeing the A-Frames live. Much more impressive live than on their recordings, but I still got bored after a while...and they didn't play "Hostage Crisis"



Charles's new myspace.com picture.



Dan...DON'T DO IT!!!



Obligatory puppy pic.

(update)
Oh I forgot to mention. Scott Soriano was DJing at the shows...using only (*GASP*) CDS!!! Talk about selling out.
