You may remember All Points West Festival being the music festival in NY that I didn't go to last year. Well they posted the lineup for this year, and at first glance it's well...ehh...

cafe magic
Sigur Rós perform the title track from last year's Með suð í eyrum við spilum endalaust for La Blogotheque. Simply beautiful. Music and melodies like this could only be made in a country as equally inspiring and enchanting.

LA09
Nick and I rolled up Friday night. Saturday morning we rode up to the track, which was about .03 miles away from our hotel haha, and watched the time trial races. There were some beautifullll bikes out. Met up with Chuck and raced @ 3pm. Not as large a crowd as January's race, but still plenty of tough competition.
All n' all...great time. Chcuk and I got mad love from the announcer for coming all the wayyy from Vegas to race. He also asked where Danny Kam was?!?! They love watching him race, as do I. Chuck skipped his road race on Sunday to come mash the streets of LA/Hollywood/Sunset. Quick stop at Orange20 and then home...
Can't wait to race again next month, hopefully with a few surprises...
While riding around Sunset BLVD we passed the Elliott Smith wall. Strangely enough, I stumbled onto this great promo video for Elliott Smith, circa 1998. It's around 30mins but it is worth watching. Enjoy...

not-so-weekly-update blog
Definitely been slackin lately. I've been in training mode for the past month or so. I've been posting all my miles on DAILY MILES [dot] com. My body feels like death, but in a good way. There's a race in LA in two weeks that I am prepping for. Anticipation!!
This will drop kick your soul. Excellent music to get me up those tough hills!
Aaron shot a great video of Critical Mass last Friday. Excellent song! Makes me smile every time. Look out for Max and I on the tandem!

dear rain that rains,
It's raining outside. I feel like a kid sitting in front of the window, looking out, wanting to go play. To put away childish things, I started doing laundry, cleaning my room, and attempting to fix my frozen bank account; and other grown up things. The soft, down tempo grooves from Japanese hip hop artist, Nujabes, is putting this day into a perfect sway. A day in. I needed this.

i dont like baseball
My dad is slowly moving things out of his old house and into his wife's. I was going through what little was left of my old room and stumbled upon a very old birthday present. Two boxes of Baseball cards from 1990! Never opened!

Listen to and download Refinery29's Autumn Passing fall playlist. A lot of great tunes from the '08 on here. Music is to set your mind and soul at ease while you are sitting inside. The weather is turning on me.
Eric is moving this week. fuckin hella bummed. I'm helping him pack and we are blasting metal!

oh hai two thousand nine
Another year, closed, in the books, that's all she wrote, au revoir 2008. It was an amazing year...full of trips, love, heartache, tunes, friends, and you know. There were many obstacles to over come and I'm sure this year won't let me take it easy. Cheers.
