Jeff was in town the last week for work and we got some quality hanging out done. Lots of delicious food was consumed thanks to some newly discovered restaurants (Rotee, Maru Ichi, Mandalay) and several trips to SF equaled much enjoyment. Frida...

The Format

2007-08-15T03:59:32Z

A couple weekends ago, I went to see The Format at the Great American Music Hall with Jeff and Chrissy. Jeff's flight from the 'Burgh was delayed so he didn't get into SFO until around 10 (originally scheduled for 8:30). Fortunately there were 4...

Quarter Century Mark

2007-07-16T06:02:02Z

I turned 25 on Friday (the 13th!). It had been awhile since I'd fired up the grill, so rather than going out to eat I grilled 2 New York Strip steaks for Chrissy and I. We also had one of my favorite summer foods, corn on the cob, and fresh sour...

Chrissy and I took a roadtrip to San Deigo over Fourth of July weekend. We'd been wanting to take a roadtrip at some point this summer, and the lengthy weekend (since we took Thursday and Friday off) combined with the fact that her sister, Susan,...

Last night Chrissy and I made the Puerco Pibil (slow roasted pork) from Once Upon a Time in Mexico using Robert Rodriguez's 10-minute cooking school recipe. Damn was it tasty! Tender, a bit spicy, and just all around delicious. All of the in...

Soundtrack Pro 2, a part of Final Cut Studio 2, was announced at NAB last week and I was in Las Vegas for the announcement. Working the booth, talking to customers, and seeing how excited people were about Soundtrack Pro 2 was a very rewarding ex...

I'm Feeling Sober

2007-03-18T01:43:34Z

Chrissy gave me a couple mix CDs last night, one of which was filled with music from the local Delaware (her home) scene. The first song is Sober by Omnisoul and is absolutely fantastic. The track is really well produced and the lyrics are super...

Schuyler Fisk and Joshua Radin at the Independent

2007-02-28T09:44:49Z

Just got back from the (rescheduled from last week) Schuyler Fisk/Joshua Radin show at The Independent in SF. Good times! And I now have a total crush on Schuyler (pronounced "Skyler"). What's a guy to do? This was only my second concert at Th...

Anberlin does a fantastic cover of There Is A Light That Never Goes Out (originally by The Smiths) as a bonus on their new album Cities (pick it up this Tuesday!) and I just had to share: Take me out tonight Where there's music and there's peo...
