Grunching Sculpture

I was walking around downtown Spokane and saw this sculpture depicting the modified grunch. In this case it's a flower but the intent remains the same.

Brandon's Loose Grip

We were playing Wii in my room the other night up here in Spoakane WA. As usual we were drinking while this was happening. We got into an epic game of Frolf or Grisbee. (Frisbee Golf)

Brandon took a shot and fucking trashed it. The wii remote hit the ceiling and everything that could seperate from it did. I know I'm supposed to wear the safety strap but I try to live dangerously.

The damn thing hasn't work the same since.

It's an Ag-venture!!!!

I forgot to post this one. It was at the San Mateo fair. Nothing says fun to me like Agriculture and adventure. I also think I owned one of those pedal tractors when I was a kid. I remember it being ridiculously heavy.

Crushed Power

We were playing a gig in Spokane WA near the airport. We setup and got everything ready. There were guys running a scissor lift behind the band hanging a US flag. The back-up beeper was on while they were rehearsing. Preston commented it was a very Spinal Tap moment.

So we left to go change. Jason got a call that they had squashed a power distro of ours. I expected the worst. Fortunately it was just a power strip. However had the scissor lift rolled another 6 inches I could have lost one of my speakers or Jason's pedal board would have been toast.

Oh well here is the aftermath.

San Mateo County Fair

The rock band played the San Mateo County Fair Today and I had a few highlights. The gig was rather uneventful for me as they had provided sound. Thank you Speeda Sound. I did however catch this shot from the crowd.

Click on it to see slightly more detail.

My other main highlight was Jiggle foot.

It was a foot massager that cost a quarter. It was interesting as it was just a vibrating metal plate that you rest your feet on. Or have your feet "Jiggled"

I can only imagine some of the applications of a large metal vibrating plate. Please feel free to comment. I'm sure your mind went there as did mine.

Best BFFs Forever!!!!!

I think this sign says it all. I only wish it wasn't in front of Bud Light.

Skywalker Sound

I was invited to attend a microphone technique seminar at Skywalker Ranch by my wonderful friend at KPS. It was a very studio oriented seminar so I didn't get a lot out of it but it did get me thinking about new ideas for micing some things live.

Anyway,

I found this interesting cable there. It looked like an extension cord. You know the thick orange type but it was a mic cable.

Sure enough when I opened it up it was extension cord cable. I think I've finally cracked the secret to their hi quality sound. I'll soon be marketing my own THX certified extension...I mean....Hi-Fi mic cables.

The Rock-tard

Here we see Nate modeling his brain-child. The Rock-tard. Think unitard with more rocking. I especially love his pilot-esque pose.

Mt. Cookie

I went to a party at Nate and Heather's and I spotted Mt. Cookie in the distance. I tried to climb it but that proved very difficult. So I just hung around at base camp.

The Big Cleanup

We had a big building cleanup at work. We were doing this because some other folks were visiting the building for a promotion ceremony.

Here we see Jamie in full regalia ready to accomplish the mission. (Operation Bird-poo)

Good luck and godspeed,
