I've learned that...

Taking promo pictures for teenage religious bands does not equal good. After waiting impatiently for over an hour while they practiced (and sucked), I finally came up with this picture. "Once Lost" has a lot to work on. Oy, it's frustrating when your friends are in crappy bands.

I've also learned that I sometimes have the best luck ever. My mom and I were talking and she mentioned that her 30th class reunion was either August 12th or 13th. Immediately, I thought of the Decemberists playing at Bite of Oregon on the 12th. Fortunately, my mom's reunion is on the 13th and a car full of myself and friends will make it to Portland.
