More of the Freemond Bridge.




Jerry and I saw The Album Leaf at Rotture a few weeks ago and i was able to snap a few photos. I had no plans to go and was on my way home to go to sleep when i got a text from a buddy of mine to come down with my camera. We got there right as they were setting up to play. They were playing shows on their way to record a new record so; they played a lot of new songs. The new songs were nice, mellow and spacey. I loved it. Thanks to Conrad for the hook-up.




Looking into gallery windows late at night

I may have posted this photo before.



This could be my favorite bike related t-shirt i've ever seen. Thanks Sable.

I saw this over at aaron's blog. I think it's pretty amazing!

This is Matt and Britton. I got an e-mail from Matt a few weeks ago. He had heard about the Rain City book and since he and his wife Britton had met in a small fixed gear community in Iowa they wanted to be in the book. I met up with them Friday afternoon and shot some photos for the book. Definitely the nicest people I’ve met in a long time.



Rachel Lynch runs Rabit Lion and makes rad hats and other wonderful things by hand. You can check them out here. I've honestly worn mine every day since i got it. So, try to get your hands on one.

Structure


I was really hoping to watch the inauguration today. However, I’m at work and the powers that control the Providence Heath System have blocked all forms of streaming media on my PC. I was able to set up a radio in my office and listen to most of Obama’s speech.

In other news, Bob the angry tattooed vulgar lawyer is in town this week on business. It’s always good to hang out with him, talk bikes, and make fun of each other over a few beers.

That’s that.




I'm listening to:
Burst - Lazarus Bird
Heiress - Demo
Indian - Sights and Abuse
The Jesus and Mary Chain - Psychocandy

Now back to our regularly scheduled program.





The Reed Sea.


My friends, David and Mike, have stared a new band called The Reed Sea. It's great. I can't wait until they start playing shows.


playlist:
ALbert Hammond Jr. - Yours To Keep
The Boxer Rebellion - Union
The Brian Jonestown Massacre - Thank God For Mental Illness

Fight or Flight


I took the day off from work yesterday. I rode my bike around the city taking photos with Jerry. I had to take advantage of the sun before we return to our regularly scheduled program of non-stop rain.

If you live in Seattle or happen to be there soon, my good friend and partner in all thing Rain/Rose City Fix,
Aaron Edge, is showing some paintings of birds at the Wayward Cafe. Go check them out; he is a great man and fantastic artist.
