blue box

Last night I unearthed a stack of typed pages that I wrote when I was twenty. They appeared to be, for the most part, journals I kept between May and August of 1993. I read through them and was astonished at how detailed I was in my recollections of almost every day. It was around […]

home again

When we got home, one of the first things I did was get one of my old big boxes down off the shelf in the closet. I wanted to ensure that I did indeed still have my flyer collection. And I do, whew. I have the flyer for my very first punk show, 1/17/92. I […]

1992

So yesterday I went to Olympia. I lived there from ages 18-21, and it was fairly life-altering, as those ages inevitably are.

lucky 7

Wow. The Lucky Seven House was a punkhouse in Olympia WA where I hung out a lot back in 92 and 93. It was a focal point. It was a place for all the kids to hang out every night. You know. Just found out that it’s still going strong. Several generations later. That is […]

still life

I’m bringing my camera with me to work tomorrow. Let’s see if I can find any interesting shots. Speaking of pictures, I have two fat photo albums on my desk full of prints that need to be scanned and uploaded. I tried to do this a few years ago, but on a very shitty scanner […]

nostalgia

Last night was fun. We had vegetarian dinner, and Brian and I shared a vanilla bean sorbet dessert with pomegranate juice. Joshua’s mom was there too, and she was just as funny as she is. I was pleasantly surprised to learn that she also drives a Prius, in spite of living in a tiny central […]
