(Malkmus)
Unfortunately, my postings will be quite spartan until we get the hard drive fixed, or load a photo editing program onto our newly fixed laptop. This has been a pretty cool week. On Tuesday, caught Steve Malkmus and the Jicks at the El Rey. He played his usually jangly and obtuse, indie rock. I think I liked it better at the All Tomorrows Parties show when he performed outdoors next to the Queen Mary. Musically it was better though this time. The next day we caught the Raveonettes at the Spaceland. Bumped into Kevin from Mixy’s work, and Jarschick there. The show I thought was fantastic, but again the spector of fatigue hit us. Maybe, I’m just getting older. This weekend was very exciting. My cousin Rae got married up in the bay area. Mixy and I drove up on Saturday. After the rehearsal dinner, we met up with Caroline and Skorn. Caroline is 6 months pregnant. I got a cool picture that maybe I’ll put up later of their new baby room. Before the wedding on the next day, we saw Margaret and her husband Chris. We also met her new 8 month old baby, Andrew. They are living the domestic suburban bliss lifestyle out in Pleasonton. The wedding was pretty cool. It was kind of a nightmare when we had to set up cloth covers for benches at an outdoor park amphitheatre for the wedding. It turned out to be a lot harder than we expected. Luckily my cousin Walter came up with an ultra-fast taping technique. It was truly a marvel to see. Wish I could’ve posted the pictures. Rae and her fiancee Adam are really artistic people. For their wedding invitations they photographed themselves, recreating movie posters from some of their favorite films. They had “In the Mood for Love”, “Top Gun”, “The Two Towers”, “Casablanca”, “Goldfinger”, and “Hero”. My favorite was the Hero one.
We headed back down to SoCal yesterday. Kapono had a very enjoyable trip with us. We stopped at Casa de Fruta, and a very cool and beautiful reservor, called the San Luis Reservoir, which is close to Gilroy where the 152 connects the 101 to the 5. Ended the day with band practice with Gravely Disabled for our upcoming July 3rd show.

Fiancee? Aren’t they married now?
Casa de Fruta has an excellent selection of nuts for the drive down. I usually stop there to pee, but end up buying something.
hey i dont know alot about these movies or the San Luis Resevior but I do know about cheese and I do know about bush.
