Oh, and by the way, Thirty Ought Six was one of the best and most underrated local (Portland) emo/hardcore bands ever. They never got the recognition that they deserved, in my opinion. The songwriting was great and the playing was intense (especially the drummer - the guy played like he had 4 arms and was jacked up on speed). They perfected the loud/soft dynamic before it got beaten into the ground by a million other soundalike bands.

So, if you haven't done so, I suggest finding some of their CDs (well, there were only ever 2, Bosozoku and Hag Seed). They should be had for relatively cheap, I'd imagine. Guest stars include Jody Bleyle (Team Dresch, Hazel) & Jeremy Enigk (SDRE). Good shiz, that.

Nap Attack

Just had lunch with Mr. Kalthoff. Plan is to watch the game at his crib this evening.

It's starting to turn into a madhouse downtown, what with all the All-Star game shennanigans happening.

Keep an eye out for the guy riding in the bed of a pickup truck, playing an upright piano.

Heh.

I've been bad today...had a beer with lunch, and now I'm leaving work half an hour early to go watch the game at Brian's.

Naughty naughty (disgruntled) Ed...
