Goddamn. The Capitol Hill Block Party. Or, as the chalkboard behind the bar in the Comet Tavern referred to it, the Capitalist Hill Block Party. Whatever you call it, it was a blast. For 24 measly dollars, I saw a ton of bands, including local faves Band of Horses, Sera Cahoone, Common Market, and Minus the Bear, plus out-of-towners like Silversun Pickups. Sure, some of the acts weren’t my cup of tea (Himsa, Murder City Devils, I’m looking at you!), but overall, it was well worth it. You take the good with the bad at these festivals, and in there was way more good to be had here than otherwise. I even took some pictures, although it’s somewhat telling that most of them are of us inside a bar…Serene has some better pictures up too.
Blogging has been slow here, though I’ve been blogging up a storm over at Vox. There’s something very easy and inviting about it. I think I’m hooked. I have an invite if you’d like to try it out…e-mail me. My first name at this domain.
Still planning on souping this site up a bit….eventually. I started a design I liked, and have since fallen out of love with, although I learned a few things while doing it, so it wasn’t a total waste. But I have a new idea to try out, soonish. I need to get the Adobe suite re-installed on my PC soon, so I can do some of the scanning I’ll need to do to make that design happen. Oh, and I picked up O’Reilly’s Programming PHP at Half Price Books last night, so that gives me some more tools to play around with (assuming I can find some time to sit down and get my hands dirty).
Blah blah….more later, as usual.
