I am right now, at this very moment, sitting on my front porch in full cat costume(I’ve been the same thing since I was six), editing pictures, blogging in the dark, and intermittently feeding trick or treaters some sweet chocolate and if that isn’t multi-tasking, I don’t know what is.

The Celebration are a [...]
(Metro 10/28/5)
Playing to a sold out audience, Broken Social Scene were at their best, even if lead singer Kevin Drew was feeling under the weather (I dare say he might get over his cold sooner if he held off a bit on the boozing and smoking though.). I had seen Broken Social Scene play [...]
(Metro 9/28/5)
This was my second time seeing Feist, the first being at Schubas headlining, which I blogged about here. Although she was technically the opener this time, she is also a part of the headliner Broken Social Scene so I think it was truly her night to shine in many ways. And, as [...]
The weather is getting colder…rainy and windy and cold. Bitter. But my very favorite thing is my cat hat, which I bought last season at this coffee shop here called Cafe Kopi. It’s warm and cute and it’s been practically everywhere-even the inauguration protests. In fact, through the cat hat, I [...]
After my recent Canada dream, I’ve been looking through all of my pictures of mountains from San Fransisco and Seattle. I have a few I took on the bus from Seattle to Tacoma of Mount Rainier and I have a few of San Fransisco that I retook as they were originally non digital photos [...]

Well…I finally stopped swooning enough to formulate thoughts and type words (What? No applause, people? Just kidding)
I’ve been anticipating this show for about three months now after having repeatedly played the Maple Leaves and You are the [...]
CASS MCCOMBS:
I wasn’t planning on going out Wednesday to tell you the truth. I knew that Cass McCombs was playing, though, and I had this nagging train of thought in the back of my mind that I should put on Prefection and A again and given them a good listen after several months and [...]
Growing up is hard work. Because you always want something more-mostly having to do with independence. You want to be able to be older, stay up later, buy your own things. You want to be able to eat macaroni and cheese and lucky charms for weeks on end without anyone saying no. [...]
While at the Hideout Block Party, a person from Metromix approached Cinchel and I and asked if she could take our picture for their publication (you have to ask people if you want to take their picture now?? Um…yeah I did know that.) I should have warned her that I’m so pale I look [...]
