Satur D jay AM

So it is exactly 7:32 am on Saturday morning...I was up at 6:00 mind racing like a rabbit. That is why I'm blogging no one else in the world is awake right now.

So...Badgemen stuff, last night spent some time at John's playing guitar with him and his new guitar, its pretty sweet. If mine was not so completely awesome I would have his. You will see it at the next show I won't ruin it for you.

So...TV stuff, watched Always Sunny in Philadelphia at John's last night because he DVR'ed it. (Side note: this whole phenomenon of DVR is awesome, but it is a confusing thing to type, Tivo'ed sounds a little better and looks better written, but its a brand.) The first two episodes of the season were hilarious. If you watched it I think Nik and I are the Brains...John is the Looks...and Josh is definetly the Wild Card...did you read his blog?

Wild Card

Okay that is enough I'm going to forage for some breakfast.

Cool (new) music...new to me

Been listening to Dire Straits lately...John gave me a Rolling Stone that he had with an article on Mark Knopfler. I had always seen the Mark Knopfler strat on the fender website, but had no idea who he was. I really like his guitar style...at least what I have heard, really clean and snappy. The sound is so easily identifiable that I was in Subway yesterday and I heard a song of his I had never heard...turns out it was titled "Lady Writer" off the Communiqu'e album. Anyway check it out if you would like.

Also the Avett Bros. are kick ass. I liken it to a blue grass version of Weezer but with slightly better voices. I want to go see them in Ithaca in November. You should check out their album "Emotionalism" good stuff.

Life ain't a track meet...

We were up so early on Sunday to head up to the marathon my alarm went off at 4:13am ouch. I felt so terrible and I was cursing John the whole time I was walking around groggy in my apartment. I felt a little better when I was the last to arrive and John was already up and dressed. Usually I'm first and I'm getting him out of bed, and Nik and Josh looked like they were psyched to go so it was all good after that.

Highlights...

I got to test my antiperspirant...it was so hot.

I saw Richard J Mackey and some people from Hornell.

I got McDonalds breakfast and Taco Bell.

I played a Yamaha Keyboard and an SG at Guitar Center.

I got to sleep for 30 minutes on the way home.

Okay I gotta go...see ya.
