Goodbye apartment we lived in from January 2006 to today: we had a good run. Sadly, it was a little cramped and the building was seventy-five years old, but it just seems like yesterday that we bought a new shower head.
I will miss a bunch about Berkeley, mainly how walkable we were to everything and [...]

This is an entry about SOTW with no comments.

Parts & Labor have been rocking my little world lately thanks to my strategic New Music partner Nathan.

Pinball in Alameda, or how Pat Lawlor changed my life

One of my earliest memories at Bard College is not having any friends during those first nights. The first object I met and hung out with was an Addams Family pinball machine. WAY TO GO THING! YOU’RE REALLY ON THE BALL. This was a relationship to last for three years. Or two and a half [...]
