mmmmmmm...beer

It's pretty nice when you can go to a beer survey off of Clairmont Road at 9p on a Thursday night and see four of your good friends and one dude that you had previously partied w/ at a Thrashers game...it's like free money, baby. - big weekend ahead : atl final four -

hardcore / stupid

- of montreal @ the 40 watt - my second bouncing, sweaty show of the week. such imagination on stage & 'hissing fauna' is absolutely beautiful/fun. i love pseudo-homosexual lead singers - 1.5 hours of sleep - 13.1 miles in 1:40:03 - def. satisfied w/ that, especially given my setbacks in training and recent escapades [even took down JB]. it was great to be a part of such a big event [15,000 runners] and to see all the fans, not to mention yelling as if i was a fan and high-fiving anyone that would have me for the majority of the race. nice course through various neighborhoods of atlanta. no beer sponsor...wtf?! - brunch - bloody marys - 1.5 hours of sleep - softball practice - the coach has got to set a good example... chill man, chill [I haven't shaved since the first night of sxsw, I wonder how long I can hold out. Ha, I guess it's pretty easy when you don't have a real job, I def. look like an idiot though. A nice little experiment nonetheless.]

top eleven shows of sxsw

birdmonster black lips bonde do role datarock foreign islands gallows girl talk the good, the bad, & the queen kenna ladyhawk redman I need to throw some thoughts/memories of my trip to austin down soon...especially since I don't have any personal photographs. - of montreal in athens tonight - half marathon @ 7a tomorrow morning...I'm not a very smart boy

for now...

this is 'our spot' this is our spot...literally - by far the coolest promo venue in austin julio knows don't mess w/ texas I love how they say he's w/ zune...Joe's one of my fellow farm team reps

best prom ever

MMJ is the coolest band on the planet...and I saw Michael Stipe smoking a cigarette downtown w/ Bill Berry. It was nice to see the other side of the computer screen and get to hang out w/ Ashley for a significant amount of time. Of course, I'll take any excuse I can get to wander around various thrift stores and dollar generals, dress up in a hideous Hawaiian shirt w/ 'sailorish' sports coat, a homemade boutonniere of fake flowers, and a foam fish visor meant for a five-year old...and then go see one of the best live bands around in a small club decorated like an 80's movie prom with a bunch of other people who look even more ridiculous than me. You don't even need to be 'hatfaced' to enjoy a night like that. in other news : Since Levi's is our sponsor, all that we can wear at the spot is their jeans...so we all get free Levi's of our choosing [hello skinners!] Oh, I talked to Moe at ASO and he said that the job is mine once the partners sign off ...

log - 3

3.5 - 6 : out: 19.32 in: 38.55 a: 6.29 - it just felt so good to get back out there, I'll def. take that time [esp. considering that I had to push myself off of the hood of a car - not my fault this time - around the 4.5 mile mark], the dr. put a wedge in my right running shoe so I shouldn't be causing any irreparable damage, I'll just get through the runs and follow a routine: stretch . run . stretch . advil . ice - repeat, I don't mind running in a manageable amount of pain if I know that I'm not messing anything up too bad 3.8 - 8 : 58.49 a: 7.21 - horrible time, but I guess that dancing, drinking, and sweating at a prom/rock show all night and staying up til four and then not getting much sleep isn't exactly the ideal pre-race routine, the foot felt alright, i really think that b/n the wedge, advil, and ice that it should be good, at this point it's just going to be getting my legs used to running that far again, 8 is good for now though, everything cons...

good news x 2

1 - cade rearden : 6 lbs 11 oz 2 - luke rearden : 6 lbs 5 oz I can run again too [ tendinitis > stress fracture ], we'll see how well three weeks of prep works for a half marathon... - the roots embody what all hip hop shows should be, lupe wasn't bad either, I've got to get Josh up to atlanta one week from wednesday: I wish they'd announce the line-up already...
