killing nancy and sara...

no matter which way you go...

i know, i know. i just keep disappearing! well, i'm back ya'll...and i'm black ya'll. (CB4 anyone?)

k, so lots has been going on. this last weekend was so great on many different levels. i saw some AWESOME bands, i got together with friends i have not seen in forever, and i got to be back in seattle for a while. I also got to play football on saturday, and went out the night before...but i'm getting ahead of myself.

friday was a pretty cool day. sometime around 5pm-ish i went to the Olympia Art Walk with my mom. i love the art walk, it's so cool. lots of local artists and performers. after seeing some of the sights my mom and i headed back home. HEW was on his way down and he got kind of a late start, but it actually worked to our advantage. we drove down town and hit the streets looking for the fight of our lives. after grabbing some food at King Solomon’s Reef we walked around aimlessly for a while then ran into a guy from my cohort. he knew a guy whose band was playing at the 4th ave tavern. so, after some thought and walking, HEW and i ended up there too. it turned out that i knew the guy in the band too. the band was tracing 8 and they were pretty damn good. the lead singer had kind of a gwen stefani thing going for her, not too bad. after that band was done, a metalica wannabe band came out for the closing act of the night. i could only handle a couple of songs from those guys so we split soon after their set started.

saturday was cool. i played in my third football game of the season and the South Sound Shockers are now 3-0! We are also ranked #8 in the Far West Conference of the Minor League Football Association polls! That's pretty crazy for a team that is playing as an independent! we'll be traveling to Omak, WA this weekend to play the Okanogan Commandos again. road trip game, those are always rough.

after the game HEW and I headed back up to Seattle where we eventually ended up hanging out with Austin Tucker and Henry at our old haunt...Ballard All Night Bowl's Sunsetter Lounge. we went in and drank some drinks, rocked the place with some karaoke, and made fun of the people who bugged Henry! it was a great time and i really miss hanging out with austin it was nice to hang out again! We pretty much closed that place down and called it a night...oh! after a trip to Beth's Cafe. (but, isn't that just assumed anymore?)

sunday was the day of the Killers show. HEW and i spent a good part of the morning watching videos off of the itunes website. after watching a couple of the videos of Tegan and Sara i was REALLY looking forward to seeing them later!

when HEW and I left for the show we ended up getting there nice and early, so we had a little time to kill. well, we went on a quest for a bar close to the Moore Theater. we walked FOREVER down one road to find ANY bar and at this point we both had to use the facilities. so, we ended up finding THE MOST seedy bar in all of Seattle! it was great! we were the only ones there under...oh, about 45 or so. it only had one beer on tap...pbr. so, we sat had a pint of pabst and then headed on off to see the killers.

the show was amazing. Tegan and Sara opened and they were unbelievable! i must have their record. they were so great live. the crowd was really good too, surprisingly. there were a lot of young-uns, but that's not really bad at all. if anything, it's encouraging. the killers came out and totally rocked the place into the ground. it was a great night and a great concert!

after the show, i got a call from Bug and she told us to come and meet up with she and her wife at finn-macools (sp) on the ave. so, off we went, the prospect of half price beers was just too tempting. we went, said hi, hung out for a while, then headed on out. i had a dentist appointment on monday morning at 10-ish and HEW had to work in the morning. so, we said our goodbyes and peaced on out of there.

it was a great weekend. thanks goes out to HEW for helping facilitate it! at some point i'd still like to get everyone together at the same place at the same time! and i mean everyone!

okay, well. not much else to report. the killers concert was awesome! i hope maroon 5 kicks some ass for you this weekend bobanna!

everyone check your calendars and think of ideas for getting the whole troupe together!

miss you all and hope you're all doing well!

till next time...

i remain as always,

your man with the plan,
