John O, Blowing up

Big news for Chalk Dinosaur!



The Pittsburgh City Paper reviewed the band, you can check it out here! I feel like Pittsburgh has a pretty good city paper, or maybe that's just because I used to read Savage love...Either way, great news for John O.

Another Pittsburgh music blog reviewed one of John's newest songs, Crazy Folks! This is great, just unsolicited attention, and good attention at that. It makes me really happy to have been part of it, and still kind of part of it.

Harrison Wargo, from The Morning Light, who we opened for a little ways back, is playing with the band now. He left the Morning Light, I dont' know why, but he's perfect for these guys. He is more experienced, and has played more and bigger shows than any of us, and I think he just brings a lot to the table.

On top of these things, Matt booked a show with Someone Still Loves You Boris Yeltsin, who just happens to be one of my favorite bands to listen to right now. Maybe even my favorite. The show is on April 11th at The Brillo Box, it's going to be wild. I get to play guitar! 3 guitars/2 guitars and keyboard is what's happening. We'll see how it goes, 3 guitars, a little over the top, but they insist. Gonna be SICK NASTY.

Later!

David Shredder Update

Woah! Anonymous commented on a post I wrote back in September, and totally owned me. Hahaha, I'm going to say this wasn't a horrendous boof, seeing as this is a theme song from a TV show that came out 5 years before I was born, and only ran for 3 seasons. Does everyone else know that George's answering machine was modeled after the theme song to Greatest American Hero?! Either way, it actually makes George's machine EVEN MORE funny to me. I stand by my opinion that the David Shredder stand up was completely butt.




And I still can't even find mention of his name anywhere.

New Bike!

I have been lusting for this bicycle for quite some time now, and finally pulled the trigger on Friday. It is a 54cm (seat tube) glossy orange Windsor Clockwork. $320 dollars from www.bikesdirect.com which is an excellent website, they ship free within the continental US. Unbelievable. It left Texas on Saturday, so maybe I will have it by this week, wooooooooooo! Later.

One of the most nutso things that's ever happened to me

Me and Jake and Danlee decided to go somewhere we don't go very often last night, so we took the metro to U Street, and were just kind of bar hopping, and checking out a bunch of places. And we got to this one place, Sollys, that had a pretty good Jukebox and cheap High Life pounders. It was the spot, and then we heard what sounded like one of the windows getting smashed, and the whole bar shook and started filling up with smoke.

When I ran outside to see what happened, and a cab had crashed THROUGH the wall of the bar, like 10 feet from where me, Dan, and Jake were. The cab driver looked like he either went insane or was having a seizure, I could see him when I got outside, and his foot was still on the gas so the bar filled up with burning tire smoke in a matter of seconds. That shit was crazy, nobody seriously injured.


Here's some proof that this happened

Stop Smoking February - Day 3

Some of my friends are stopping drinking in February (It's the shortest month), and there was no way I was doing that, so I decided to try and stop smoking instead. I probably should have posted about this before I started, I've been really busy at work, so suck me.

I'm on Day 3 right now. I'll tell you what, people are a lot less bearable whenever I stop smoking. Shit is much more annoying when I'm trying to quit, I just like being by myself more. I find that I am especially productive though, because I'm trying to keep myself busy all the time, especially my hands. I made dumplings from scratch again, which was great, my apartment is super clean and my laundry is done. I've also gone to the grocery store like every day this week so far.

Anyways, I've cheated once already, I smoked a cigarette last night. It was crazy, I actually got a nicotine buzz. I could feel it flowing through my veins, wild stuff.

Be back later.

Eternal Life via Blinds

WOOOOOO. Remember when I lived at Filmore Street? No? Well, anyways I lived there my Sophomore year at CMU. I made a big smiley face out of the blinds one time by coloring in masking tape blue, and taping it strategically to the blinds. Now K2's sister Aislinn lives in my room, and I asked him to see if the smiley was still there, and low and behold:



You can flip the blinds so they face outside, and then it's a frowny face...think about it.






Just joking, it's still a smiley face when you flip the blinds outside.
