Yeah, I do that a lot.
In the last month and a half I’ve:
Driven across the country with a car full of stuff and landed at my parents’ house.
Successfully locked down a job at Bethesda Softworks, a videogame company.
Lost my iPhone on the Metro.
Hunted for an apartment in DC, found one, and moved in with my [...]

Two big ones: Andrew Bird and Juno.
Andrew Bird: Saw him play live at the Orpheum on Friday night. I actually almost missed the show. I got distracted talking to friends and didn’t remember until an alarm went off on my iPhone (inexplicably) at 8—when the show was starting. In any event I booked it to [...]

I would like to apologize in advance for linking to MySpace, but for small-time artists, it’s pretty much impossible to do otherwise.
A couple weeks ago, my friend Rachel introduced me to Rosie Thomas, a singer-songwriter whose latest album “These Friends of Mine” features a couple covers and a few friends, not the least of which [...]

So I guess I should talk about the Imogen Heap show I went to with Rian on Friday night.
Firstly, the Wiltern is a very nice venue. It used to be a theater, so the whole place is tiered with several railings. This meant that I could get a nice spot on the second railing to [...]
