Pretty Yarrr, Shoog...

Walking the Inner Harbor is becoming a bit of a pastime for the Bean and I. She caught me uh...manning my tiller...

In unrelated news- I caught Torche last night at the Ottobar. They played with Helms Alee (pretty freaking good) and Big Business (really f***ing good). After this show, I am certain of some things:

1. Nobody outperforms Torche. Metallica, The Stones, Prince...I don't care. Your dad's favorite band, your friend who works in a record stores' top five bands- none of them outperform Torche. Some might perform just as well (I seriously doubt it), but none do it better. They are simply the best live act f***ing out there.

2. Meanderthal came from another plane of existence. Torche opened up with In Return (one of my favorites), played Charge of the Brown Recluse, and a bunch of songs off of their new Songs for Singles release. But they also played a lot of material off of Meanderthal, and, well, there just aren't words. Buy the album and you'll see. It's opened my eyes to a lot of beautiful, awesome shit, and hearing it live is just f***ing incredible, every time.

Picked up the new Thrasher today. T-Puds on the cover...

and Garcia on the inside! Mark got his photo in an issue of f***ing Thrasher! Part of the SxSW Deathmatch coverage. So Sick. He's the dude with the drunk eyes, behind the dude that's angrily shitting his pants.



I always knew one of my shred buds would make Thrasher, I just always assumed it would be Dubbs. Pop-shuvin' his way in with the quickness...

...In a sham-wow

Brad Staba interviewing...Brad Staba. Seriously one of the most interesting, funny dudes to ever live. Watch it. Twice.

HOLY SHIT! Shelley stole this from my sister's facebook- Katie!!! How could you sit on this photo like that!

This was from a big group trip to Schlitterbahn- but the picture was taken in front of Gruene Hall. Some things never change! Kyle mean-mugging then the same way he does now.I still wear the raddest shirts ever- but they fit now. Katie still has the greatest smile on the planet.

Katie and Shelby were like glue, just like Derek, Jacob and us. Bitchin' times. F***ing love my family.
