This looks like it woould be the perfect place to get away for some solitude. Beautiful Patagonia to boot.

Lets go.

Tons of great pics too after the link.

That’s what I think as I sit here looking at my new Agent 18 black iPhone case and protective screen covering. Normally I think i’m the greatest thing on two feet, but not as I look at the spiderwebbing of broken glass across the face of my new phone. If you have a strong stomach, you can head over to my Flickr page and see the damage. As far as things go however, it’s the least of my concerns.

In a recent survey done by the Brown family of Westerville Ohio, July was overwhelmingly declared the least fun month of the year so far. (See graph below)

Nate Brown was overheard saying, “I’m not really superstitious, but I’ll be happy when this month is over.”

Here is the first actual video of the moon passing in front of the earth. (see story)

I feel I can saw that very few of us work in a place cooler that this one.

from archdaily.com:

Kraanspoor (translated as craneway) is a light-weight transparent office building of three floors built on top of a concrete craneway on the grounds of the former NDSM (Nederlandsche Dok en Scheepsbouw Maatschappij) shipyard, a relic of Amsterdam’s shipping industry. This industrial monument, built in 1952, has a length of 270 meters, a height of 13,5 meters and a width of 8,7 meters. A street length and width. The new construction on top is the same 270 meters long, with a width of 13,8 meters, accentuates the length of Kraanspoor and the phenomenal expansive view of the river IJ. Fully respecting its foundation, the building is lifted by slender steel columns 3 meters above the crane way, appearing to float above the impressive concrete colossus.

Check out the description and pics at archdaily.com so that you relly feel inferior about your office building.

Went and saw this film last night. It was good. Funny, good actors, beautiful locations, and the nice guy with no money gets the girl of his dreams to fall for him. What’s not to like?

I also had an epiphany as to how to make this happen in my life. All that is needed is to move to France and buy a scooter (Audrey Tautou ends up on the back of a scooter, zooming away, happily in love, just as in Amelie).

My Amelie wont stand a chance.

This would be fun to own. Some sort of stop-action hilarity would be a must.

My 1st Bonnaroo was almost perfect. I really had an awesome time with everything. When I say perfect, I’m just being picky. (Metallica didn’t play Fight Fire with Fire, and I missed the Surprise Superjam)

On any vacation, the group of people you travel with and spend your time with can make or break the trip. I bought my ticket knowing of only one other person I knew who was going, not even sure if I’d be going with them. It turned out great, I drove down with two friends, and ended up in a great group of 11 people.
As I said before, I had a great time and just wanted to thank Mike, Brutz, Jen, Louis, Heather, Mollly, Todd, Jackie, Meghan, and Bacon for being such a great group to hang with.

That being said,

Bonnaroo!!
That was what you heard being shouted at every hour of the day. Both during shows, in the camping area, Bonnapoo!! from the port-a-jons, and at completely random times and places.
People were just that happy to be there. I myself definitely let the good times wash over me.

This was awesome. I <3 Gogol Bordello, and they decided to love me back. Brown chicken brown cow.

I put my pics up on my Flickr site, and the videos are going up there too.
Here’s the list of artists I actually saw:
Matt Morris - new guy, sounded really good on the radio, but not the same live. Where’s the violins dude!
MGMT - Trippy unique sound, very cool. A favorite of many.
K’naan - My favorite new discovery of the whole thing. He needed a bigger stage.
Vampire Weekend - Saw them on Valentines Day 2008 with about 500 or less people, this time This Tent was overflowing, many many thousands of teenage girls fans.
Gogol Bordello - Words can’t express their show.
Pearl Jam - I was happy his voice was still really strong, and they really went the extra mile to give the fans a good show.
Metallica - Only played 1 song from after 1991. Hells ya. Pleasantly surprised by how good they still are.
The Raconteurs - Just saw a few songs, but they rock. Jack White is sick on guitar.
Tegan and Sara - Good for their fans, they talk a lot in between songs to. Friendly at least.
Lez Zeppelin - Just saw one song, but heard many form campground, and they sounded really good. All women, All Zeppelin.
M.I.A. - That Tent went from dead to full rave mode in just the time it took her to take stage and throw horns out into the crowd. After 3rd song she filled the stage with girls from the crowd and the rest was a party. One crazy show.
Sigur Ros - What can I say. They sound surreal. Check this review for many pics and vids from show.
Ghostland Observatory - In between Talib and Chali 2na I caught these guys, and was blown away. Perfect live show, crazy lights and big, big sound. New fan.
My Morning Jacket - Epic 4hr set in the pouring rain. Fans of their were in Heaven. I liked the song Highly suspicious a lot. Gotta get it.
Talib Kweli - Only caught his last song, Get By, but that was the one I wanted hear anyway. Unimpressed. He did that thing where he has some other dude finish each line, weak.
Chali 2na - He is awesome, and was really into the crowd. Love his delivery. One of all time best.
Death Cab for Cutie - Not really knowing them much, I mostly enjoyed the beautiful sunset and atmosphere of the festival.
Orchestra Baobab - By the time they finished they had a large crowd. I loved the easy going African jazz vibe.
Alison Krauss and Robert Plant - About half the songs I heard were Zeppelin re-workings which was nice.
Widespread Panic - They closed out the Festival Sunday, and it was a Hippie fest if I’ve ever seen one. They sound great too.
Robert Randolph - Only caught a brief moment of his show, wish I would have seen more.

The “Mariachi” band during Sé Lest was a highlight.
Yes I know mariachi bands play guitars, violins, etc, but in Iceland they play horns

For many people I talked to, this was the biggest OMG moment of the weekend. She really knew how to get the crowd crazy, and fast. This was a really fun time.
