Next time we go sailing, I want to listen to stuff like this

Happy Friday

Power Hour 2008

Another one from the archives.  Friends celebrating Christmas 2008 with the Power Hour - one shot of beer every minute for 60 big ones.

Seth's birthday hike

Digging through my hardrives for the family project, I stumbled across this oldie but goodie I put together a couple years ago.

Seth was turning 31. Plus, after some historic rainfall, Saturday was going to be the first dry day in a week. With our charming grey-brown "marine layer" temporarily washed away, what better day to go for a hike?

+ In n Out
+ winding canyons
+ car sickness
+ Sandstone Peak, the highest point in Santa Monica
+ lots of pictures of heels and butts
+ and middle fingers
+ novelty size bottles of Glenlivet
+ Neptune's Net

Women Laughing Alone with Salad

I was joking with Art about how bad the stock photography is that we used to have to work with.  He sent me this.  So good.

winter weekend project

my first baby moon

We threw a baby moon for Art this weekend at my sister's Big Bear cabin. Big bromance.

I put the video below together on my iPhone. Fifteen years ago, telephones were screwed to the kitchen wall, the user was tethered to that wall by a curly cord, and the phone's function was one fold. Now, you can shoot and edit with titles, transitions and music, your own HD video montage, upload it to the internets, and send it to your friends - on your telephone!! That shit cray.

Cheers to Art, Karla, and future lil Ms. St. Germain.

the beginning of our farewell to the italians

Ace Hotel, Palm Springs. Lots of Italian friends. Even more man-nipple action.

Summer! Let the games begin.

I Heart NY

New York I love you, but yr bringing me down. Thank you, James Murphy, for providing the soundtrack to my little life for the last few years.

And NY, I've missed you so! Madison Square Garden for the first time, LCD Soundsystem for the last, a long awaited weekend with the boys, and a respite from an insane stretch of work.

Because weekends were / made for fun

This is happening

Pitchfork put out this comprehensive guide to all things LCD Soundsystem. It's perfect in flight reading material for yours truly, who will be going to New York early Friday morning for the bachelor party... which includes LCD's final show (!!).

we set controls for the heart of the sun

LCD Soundystem announced that they'll be playing their final concert on April 2 at Madison Square Garden. It'll be a 3-hour marathon set backed by a choir, a string section and a horn section, and a black and white dress code will be strictly enforced [maybe a reason to finally wear my tux again!]. Sound of Silver and This is Happening were the soundtrack to two amazing summers for my friends and me, and we all just so happen to be in NY for a bachelor party that weekend. I'm rolling up my sleeves for ticket sales Friday morning.

Here's the last summer's recap, again, with LCD's "Home".
