First World Problems: In alleys I may find myself:

I have been sick! Its been one helluva ride. I am waking up daily to a new color from my nose. No documentation folks, lo ciento.

We will be selling drinks at my house tonight. Stabbings are finishing up a tour and Sioux City Pete and the Beggars are starting one. Tempers will also be playing. Things get going at nine.

The band I'm in has been named Wet Paint. It took me awhile to warm up to this name. I am finding it apt. We have been taking notes from a traditional musical ensemble called Gamelan from Indonesia(http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Gamelan). Now that Chris is back from touring with Planets we can pick up the pace again.

And here is the last three weeks in pictures:

My great aunt Beryl died. It was the first funeral I've been too. The couple pictured below are a mother and son I am related too. If you would like to hear their story. Please say so.

This is my mom and I.

It was her idea to jump for the picture. I was on time but she missed the mark. My cousin's wife took this photo.

My friend's Jake and Rebecca got married. This is Jake's bachelor party. Since, traditionally, lap dances happen this was our idea of an ethical one. A lap dance shared between two men without evident sexual attraction towards each other.

Sarah Jones of Ruffeo Hearts Lil' Snotty. Up from New York to make the wedding garments and hang out with some friends.

This one is for Gilda.

Tracy and Jonny.

Lucas in RHLS gear.

This March it snowed in Seattle.

Photos from the first speak easy. These are views from the DJ table. Rose is dancing to Queen's "Another One Bites the Dust."

The Wedding!

Maxwell-on far right-is the other half of RHLS. When he lived in Seattle we became close friends. I have a lot of admiration for RHLS work ethic and product. They are two WONDERFUL people.
