Some blogs I’ve recently started following that I really like:

Bibliotheque - Books, music, cool glasses.

Readerx - Another cool, nerdy book blog.

Austin Kleon - An awesome artist known for his newspaper blackouts.

52 Weeks In Chicago - A couple of crazy kids chronicle their adventures going to all the restaurants and bars I wish I could afford to patronize.

Fuck Yeah Lost - I mean c’mon.



D.C. Pierson of Derrick Comedy gives you a preview of what his book tour is going to look like.


Note To Filmmakers:

If you shoot video on your new Canon 7D get a microphone that’s as good as your camera. It doesn’t matter how awesome your video looks, if your audio sucks, your video still sucks.

Where I am spending tonight.  A bottle of wine, a new book, and some jazz on Pandora.

Bishop Allen - Ghosts Are Good Company

Last night’s Bishop Allen show was tremendous. It was my first time going to Lincoln Hall and I was pleasantly surprised. It’s a state of the art venue that when paired with a great band like Bishop Allen it’s a perfect experience.


At the Bishop Allen show. I love this band.

In Another Place - by Mark Harrison an Darin Seal

Two of my friends from Capybara did the soundtrack for One Too Many Mornings and this is one of my favorite songs. You can download the whole soundtrack here for only $2.



Everyone drop what you’re doing and go see Mystery Team tomorrow or Saturday at midnight at the Music Box.
I personally and financially guarantee that you’ll think it’s hilarious.
