Earlier this year (probably March or so), I was stalking Raleigh news (as usual) and noticed that some friends were putting on a music festival. Not like our standard NC music festivals, which involve shitty U2 cover bands as headliners. This was a legitimate music festival, with good, independent, relevant bands. It was to be [...]
Raleigh phase 2 was all that I love about Raleigh. My friends make adventure. This particular adventure was centered around the birthday of my dear friend Tim Lytvinenko. If you kept up with my blogs this summer, you know that Tim toured the country with me with Bowerbirds + Megafaun, and he takes care of [...]
As you may have inferred from my New Year’s post and wedding post, I’m in NC. As per usual, I’ve taken my travel time to extremes and am hopping around the east coast for a MONTH. It’s cold here. I have realized how ridiculously spoiled I have become living in SF. I can function completely [...]
After awaking from my 15-hour couch nap, I was onward to Phase 3 of my trip: hitching a ride to my hometown of New Bern, NC. My brother was off work for the night and offered to tote me. He would arrive at 1:00. This would all be great, if my belongings weren’t strewn all [...]
The primary reason I came back to Raleigh so soon, other than to catch up with old friends by wandering the streets of my hometown neighborhood (as I accomplished in my last post), was a wedding. My close friends Bill and Jessica are getting married. I met Bill while packing a giant van full of [...]
Greetings from North Carolina. I write to you as I wait patiently for 4:30 AM, the time I should awake and begin preparing to head to the airport. I have just finished up a week in my glorious home state. I arrived at approximately 9:49 AM Thursday morning. I had expected ample sleeping time on [...]
Hello all! This has been a very productive week for me so far. I have some important updates to share with all of you. I will explain further below. But first, here some photos from the past week’s adventures: A few days ago, I went over to help friend Mark work on his particularly large [...]
Just another day of jumping around Raleigh. I noticed this little gem on the way back from the Bain Project. Never knew it existed. I fell in love with it immediately. So I brought back witnesses to jump in front of it with me. Jumpfail 1. Jumpfail 2. Jumpfail 3. Seb is winner. Then off [...]
Just a hodgepodge of random Raleigh photos from 2009.
I finally graduated from college. I say “finally” as if it took me longer than expected, but I finished in four years. I’ve just been ready to graduate for about 3.5 years now. Graduation jump. The day eventually progressed into what became a night of drinks and debauchery with an eclectic group of folks, including [...]
On Sunday (5/10) I had the chance to explore Raleigh’s historic abandoned Bain Water Treatment Plant (aka E.B. Bain Waterworks). The site opened up to the public to display The Bain Project, a collective display of work by a group of artists in a variety of disciplines, a few of which are friends of [...]
8/8/2007 – Raleigh to Wilmington We are looking forward to our second leg of the summer tour. We’ve already played more than 25 states, driven through 39… so this is more of a replay for us, with bigger crowds, larger $$ guarantees, and a couple of new cities in the mix. All of us are [...]
6/10/07 – Chicago to Raleigh We wake up in time to go explore the city a bit. We basically tried to see and experience all of the cliché Chicago things we could.. Wrigley Stadium, beer, deep-dish pizza, the “train” (NOT the subway apparently). On the way back towards the venue, we accidentally took the wrong [...]
[Disclaimer: The 2007 views of Helena do not necessarily reflect the current views of Helena.] 5/21/2007 – Columbia to Raleigh to Charlotte to Lake Norman So, you remember that van exchange that was supposed to have happened right about now? It ended up falling through. To complicate matters further, we had to give back the [...]
[Disclaimer: The 2007 views of Helena do not necessarily reflect the current views of Helena.] Greetings from Tallahassee! I’m sitting here in a coffee shop called “Fat Sandwich” with BJ and Chris. The others went to find a bar to loosen up after the drive, I suppose. After blogging every detail of my travels, I’ve [...]
