A police office in St. Paul, Minnesota is under investigation for feeding Pop-Tarts to gorillas during an unauthorized after-hours tour of the Como Zoo. The cop was caught on CCTV.
Perhaps Tyler was right. Maybe St. Paul is awesome.
YES! SAINT PAAAAAAAULLLLL!!!!
“Hey Everybody!! Here are some recent pictures of Kate (and us!!). She will be 3...”
– HA!
In response…
Hey Everybody!! Here are some recent pictures of me partying. I’m almost 30 and getting bigger by the minute, so I figured I would send out some pictures for all to see :)
Enjoy

PREDATOR MODE: The Best of the Electric Six!
Is this P-Fork’s top 24 songs of the 2000’s?
Cuz it should be.

DOWNLOAD IT!
This mix covers the highlights of the Electric Six discography to date, from Fire on through Flashy. Though this disc will certainly be a great deal of fun for E6 fans, it is intended for casual listeners and the unconverted. This is a fan-maker, baby. It will hit all your walls and work the...

Also, what’s a Verve Pipe? It sounds fucking terrible.

Nerd Note
I typically write this blog on Firefox.
I just saw what this blog looks like on internet explorer.
I’d like to appologize — holy crap does it look terrible.
I’ll see if there’s some way to fix it… no I probably won’t… maybe you should just join tumblr and follow me there sans formating.
How Awesome was Friday?
Pretty fucking awesome. If you haven’t been out the previous two nights, I suggest strongly you start today with the daytime bands on the Alley Deck.
First, the second stage problems of the Magic Stick were completely resolved. Real mains, real monitors — everyone sounded great on those stages. By far that was the best I’ve ever seen multiple stages work in that room.

A few quick thoughts on the first night of Fucking Awesome Fest.
People kept asking me if I was, “ready for this.” My old-manness must of have been showing, because I really wasn’t — but I did really enjoy myself.
I liked the set up a lot more than I thought I would. When you take the theater out of the mix, have bands in the Garden Bowl Lanes AND in the bar, the cafe...
All this and Andy Rooney
I love football. It is the great American sport, perfectly suited to our national demeanor. Every play has the potential for great drama, accompanied by the guarantee of intense violence. Even better, every few seconds the game pauses, which allows both the build up of new anticipation and also allows us to engage in our other great national pastime, staring aimlessly into space. But of...

– HEY-O!!!
I literally logged on to Tumblr to make this joke… In retrospect, it was going to be tough to beat the Deadspin crew to that one.

The High Strung Rock Gitmo →
It would be crazy enough if there was any mention of the High Strung in Vanity Fair — but the fact that this is an article detailing their trip to play shows for the Gitmo troops makes this among the most crazed things you’ll read all day. Maybe tomorrow too.
Also, the author, the brother of HS drummer Derek Berk wrote this. Which is awesome.

The cost of Tree Rollins game worn warm up pants.
Which is semi-acurate, because these probably never came off the Orlando Magic bench either.
I’m thinking of selling my house and just moving into these pants… the home theater in there is amazing, not to mention the wet bar off the rumpus room.
HEY-OO!!!! THE PANTS ARE BIG!!!
