Wintttt r

Crazy week last week. My friend Usagimaru (aka Al) and his grandma came from Singapore to stay a week. Har was here too but eh, he doesn't matter. We went to Karl Blau on Sunday, Mount Eerie on Tuesday and Sunset Rubdown on Friday. All phenomenal musicians. I really enjoyed Blau's set with LAKE. He's a funny guy, looks like Mad Max in Thunderdome. I gotta hand it to Spencer Krug of Sunset Rubdown though, that guy is a fucking genius. The whole show was a mindgasm. For me, Krug is the epitome of artist. He wasn't in the room that night, he was engulfed in song on some other plane. Always a treat to watch him create


It was incredibly fun to have Al and his grandma here; first time to the US. It was hilarious asking him stupid American questions (do they have that there... amazing...). His grandma cracked me up the most. She made sure we all studied and prayed hard and wouldn't eat anything aside from potatoes and bread (which is delicious). She's definitely a personality. Great week.




Now it's snowing. I believe someone mentioned in class that it was to snow 24 inches in the next three days. Crazy shit. There's already about a foot outside. I love being barricaded inside during a snow storm. Makes you appreciate your home and the power of nature.








A few more months till I'm off in Montana, kind of a weird feeling but I'm less excited about it and more or less excited to not be in Colorado. I'm in the process of writing a play for class... It's not really coming along. I did pull off a decent short story though. Maybe I'll post it here, needs some editing though.



I suggest picking up a copy of Karl Blau's Zebra.
