january third

Five for January 3rd:

Back in the saddle. Following a short New Year’s break, I’m back. Another year has come and passed. It seems impossible that 2002 was ten years ago, but here we are. Last year was epic and this year is going to be epic-er. Just wait and see.

New Year’s Eve. Our show at Off Broadway was, to put it lightly, beyond awesome. I have to give an immense thanks to the hundreds upon hundreds of people that chose to spend their NYE with us. It seems like everyone had a good time, and I know we did, so everyone wins. I had a blast rehearsing and working on the set with the KKF dudes for the last couple of months, and I’m looking forward to next year already. Check out the set list here!

House party. Tackled some much-needed housework head-on this weekend and made a mountain of progress, due in large part to the generous time and effort pitched in by friends and family. The upstairs is almost totally painted and it looks amazing. Can’t wait to get moved in there.

Illness. Kicked the year off with a sore throat and a massive headache. I think I pushed myself a little too hard and it caught up with me. Luckily the fever broke, and after a day or so of recuperation I was good to go.

Firsts of the year. Breakfast eaten: pancakes at Chris’ Pancakes. T-shirt put on: black “Thrasher” shirt. Text sent: Steve Marshall. Shoes worn: green Chuck Taylors. Album listened to in its entirety: Husker Du “Warehouse: Songs & Stories”.
