Visit from Bowerbirds.

Bowerbirds visit! Hooray! Phil and Beth are homies from Raleigh, NC (the town from which I moved to come here). They were part of a wonderful friend group who made summer 2009 the best I’ve had yet. They play in a band called Bowerbirds, and they are good. Very, very good. They were to play [...]

Well Done Tour favorites.

I took some fun photos this weekend, and would love to post them tonight, but I can’t find my camera charger or extra battery. So they are stuck within my dead camera for now. Instead, I thought I’d post my favorite photos from this summer’s phototour, as well as a couple of photos that I [...]

San Fran Beginnings, Tour Endings.

After a particularly long drive, thanks to my accidental detour through some random southern California cities, we arrive in San Francisco. At 5:30 AM…. most awkward arrival time yet, especially when I have to wake my new roommate up in my new San Francisco house, neither of which I have seen or met, to move [...]

Tuscon: Well Done Desert Birthday Adventure

Tuscon: Well Done Desert Birthday Adventure We arrive in Tuscon a few hours past midnight, as per usual. We found fauns and tapes scattered about our temporary desert hotel – the home of Matt Huggins, who happened to be out of town for the night. They have beer and Doritos ready for us. Night 1 [...]

San Francisco, but not for long

After what could possibly be the best tour weekend ever, we reluctantly say goodbye to Shaun & Margaret and depart for our next destination – San Francisco. I was particularly excited about this stop, as this is where I will be living for the next three years. It’ll be nice to catch a show in [...]

We are to do a series of tasks before they return, including “be awesome.” On it. We have planned a Well Done Brunch. Invited: Bowerbirds, Megafaun, Hometapes crew. We took [...]

Portland Day 2: Bowerbirds + Megafaun + Tire Swing

Day 2 began with Tim cooking the most epic breakfast from whatever he could find in Shaun’s kitchen and/or potted herb garden. Tim is known for his epic breakfast making, but this one really took the cake. I think we’ve earned our keep at Shaun’s house. We spent the afternoon exploring the downtown Portland area [...]

Colorado/Utah Driving.

These states are particularly fun to look at. Nine hour drives aren’t so bad when the topography changes drastically every 30 minutes. Utah’s topography was particularly epic. We soon found ourselves in the region of Dinosaur. Dinosaur functions as both a city in Colorado and a giant national monument that extends between Colorado and Utah. [...]
