Brian, Joel and I went to see Bon Iver on Friday night. It was a spectacular show. So so so so good. The opening act / touring buddy Megafaun was super good too.

Being tall helps a lot at live shows. You rarely have to deal with visibility issues. This show had abnormally short people at it. Weird. I thought for sure we’d be stuck somewhere with bad views, but we ended up about 5 people from the stage!

Getting ready for the final song.

Bon Iver + Megafaun + Unplugged = Awesome.

The end.

Rueger!

Woke up early enough to check out LA Bento this morning–my friends’ new sandwhich shop and coffee bar. The coffee is delightful.

The view (fog?!)

From something that I’ve been writing:

When he had given
up hope, the young voice started
again, “Are you there?

He could swear that all
the voices in the world were
talking about him.

Finally someone
was acknowledging what his
life has been about.

from another thing I wrote:

His bike hasn’t been
used for quite some time and it’s
making weird noises.

How do I get on the crew that made this: Letter’s to the President?

working just a little. got to working on my reel yesterday, i’ll make it public soon, once i get all the pieces in the room. get in here audio…

not much else is going on. i’m really enjoying watching battlestar gallactica with ethan and laurel. good times.

Conan does this great sketch, updated for the 21st century, In The Year 3000. It ends with a great line about You Twitface.

I’ve been on a bit of rant lately about the old facebook. I’ve said things like, “I hate it,” and “I’m never using it again,” and “Why do you waste so much time on that stupid stupid stupid internet thing?”

I haven’t been nice.

Two things have happened. EVW, in Minneapolis, said that he was having the same thoughts and issues that I was. He came to the realization that if you just treat it like a big address book, it’s less “Teh suck,” and more, “I’m okay with that existing.” And, I realized, people have to choose to put all that stuff up there. If I’m reading”My cat pooped three times today,” it’s because you put it up there. It’s a public forum. Semi-public. Public with people that you know well enough to become facebook friends with–which is everyone that asks! Can I get and AMEN!*

Adding to that last point (paragraph break for gravities sake), You can turn people’s feeds off. You can, ignore that person whom you friended in a late night “I wonder what she’s doing with her life,” mishap.

You could also unfriend them. There. I said it.

*I love footnotes, don’t you? I mean c’mon, they are fun. I forgot why I made this one. Oh, I remember, I bet I can guess who will post AMEN as a comment.
