My friends had a big Halloween party last night. It was, of course, a costume party. They live is the San Mateo/Bellmont area and we live in the city, so we had to sit on the train with our costumes on to get there.

Here are our costumes.



Unfortunately, we couldn't compete with Gabe's costume: Eddie Riggs from Brütal Legend.

My weeks have gotten considerably more cramped. That's probably a good thing, since it keeps me busy. I took up a part-time job working for James's dad's company, so I get to work from home. That means I have to be at my computer from 10:30-5, but that's not too different from how it was before. I'm also on commission for doing little YouTube commercials for a green building non-profit I have been interning for. So, that's been awesome.

The band is going well enough. We have an assload of new songs and new ideas for songs and stuff like that. We just need to plaaaay. If we can play out with other bands who have a decent following anyway, or at a venue that has built-in clientele, that would be fantastic.

I just discovered that I have two pairs of jeans in the closet that straight-up do not fit me anymore. I cannot get my fat ass into them. This is hardly surprising, but still sad.

Hey Internet,

We are looking to play some shows with other similar sounding bands. We have about 13 songs and can play upwards of about an hour's worth of originals. On a weekend slot (Friday or Saturday nights) with enough notice, we can draw upwards of about 40 people. Our influences lie anywhere between Juliana Hatfield, Tegan and Sara, the Breeders, with a dash of the Yeah Yeah Yeah's.

If you like what you hear and want to play together, drop us a line. We would love to hear from you.

Peace, love, and music,
The Shebangs

This is a crazy, effed-up dream I had a couple years ago. It was a little while after my dad died. I remembered it the other night.

Here it is, presented to you on TokiDoki/Hello Kitty stationary, in 4 parts.

Part 1

Part2

Part3

Part 4

[Video] I still totally want to cover this song. While playing the game. That would be epic.

The Bird and the Bee is my new drink/dance/fuck music.

This is what I was listening to on the train. Makes me feel like a mobster. Siouxie - Here Comes That Day.

Do lawyers have lawyers? Do landlords have landlords have landlords? One more cheap suit in the loop, more chlorine in the pool.

The SLCC Musicians' Ball was streamed - audio AND video - into several SL venues including Molaskey's Pub.

I reunited with old SL friends like Cylindrian Rutabaga and Pato Milo, and I met other famous SLers like Juel Resistance, Lyndon Heart, Crap Mariner/SecondLie Scribe, Pierce Portocarrero, and Wagner Au!!

I also got ON-DEMAND LIVE HELP with my login issue the day of. The man behind my resolved login issue is none other than Joppa Linden!

Hopefully there will be video up of the whole shebang soon. I'm still kind of in shock and just... really happy. The Second Life community and the music community especially is just effing amazing.

If you're going to be in the SF Bay Area on the 15th, but can't pony up the door price to get into SLCC, you can still hang out with me at the Musicians Ball! Hella SL musicians will be there!
