At Five Minutes and Six Seconds after 4 am Wednesday the time and the date will be:
04:05:06:07:08:09
This consecutive sequence will never happen again.
[Well, unless you're European and write the day before month... Or Swedish and year before both.]
If mTye, Stephan and I were a German punk band, this would definitely be our album cover. Minus the Xbox branding. Or not.
As we're nearing the northern border of New York state on our way to Canadia, I'm finally getting my Bonnaroo pics online thanks to the wonders of iPhone tethering.
Overall, it was a fantastic (and exhausting!) time. Aside from the first night we got there (delayed, of course), the rain held off. The bands were amazing (especially Phoenix, MGMT, The Boss) and it's a bit of a rarity to have collegepals Paul, Stephan and I in the same place. Paul was on-board and often backstage as one of the official Bonnaroo bloggers. Be sure to check out his and newfriend Emily's BonnarooBlog posts. Their backstage & front-row videos, as well as humorous interviews are also pretty fantastic.
Paul and Emily attach Michael Ian Black (!) for a quick bloggerview while he's trying to grab some dinner. Black makes stinkface.
The Boss + crazychick. Amazing mTye picture.
See a bagillion more great aerial shots on the Bonnaroo site.
Backstage with Phoenix.
It's Justin Long (the Apple guy!) and Drew Barrymore in the Artist Relations area.

Sounds like a weird Muppets movie, eh? I threatened to return when it wasn't -37° so I could actually SEE the city, and by tomorrow, I'll be well on my way. Nothing says "Happy 4th of July" like escaping to Montréal, Canada. In tow with The Boif, as well as Mr&MrsT, we'll be driving up: I just couldn't bring myself to pay for a plane ticket costing the same as going to Scandinavia. Screw you CanadaAir. Keep your eyes peeled on Page 2 for some quickbloggies while I'm gone. Judging by the pictures from my January trip, it should be a wild ride.
Don't watch the video above, watch it on Montreal's Tourism site... it's kinda fantastic (and I love the aerial shots as well as the music.)
Oh... and don't forget this "cheeky" gay tourism spot. Really. Watch it.
It's about friggin' time. A simple solution that doesn't creep me the frak out. Use at your own risk, but it takes about 30 seconds to activate and works really well. Sadly, substantially faster that the stupidass AT&T USB dongle (that constantly loses connection). I'm pretty sure it's faster than my Verizon DSL at home, too. And, unlike Netshare (I want my money back), it still works when the phone goes to sleep.
Again, keep in mind that this violates your TOS via AT&T. ... But get it before it disappears.
PS: Needing emoji, too? Nevermind the solution I proposed, here's a free version.
For all you RSS readers out there, you might have noticed my blogfeed exploding in your readers. Oops. My apologies. It was completely intentional. I finally got around to munging my Blogger feed with my Tumblr feed so you don't have to try to keep track of them separately. All because I love you.
Tired of checking back only to see the same old crap because I'm behind on updating? You can get an email digest whenever there's new content by putting your email into the form down the right side column.
Don't worry, anyone who has the correct RSS feed for my blog will get the new feeds automagically, thanks to the joy of Feedburner and Yahoo Pipes.
UPDATE: Looks like I fucked it up. Sorry, folks. Workin' on it.
Spotted: my bedroom on whatisblik.com! Actually, I knew it was coming. After seeing the pics I posted a few weeks ago, Blik emailed me (below) and asked if they could use 'em. Talk about a well-oiled and effective viral / grassroots web campaign. Kudos to Blik. That's the way this should work.
Hi m@,
We saw your awesome photo of Stone Jungle on your blog - love how you used it as a headboard and the white on chocolate wall is so striking! We'd love to feature the photo on our product page, in fact, credited with your name, of course. Would this be ok with you? If so, can you email me the photo?
I look forward to hearing from you. And thanks for great comments!
All the best,
Sonja, Marketing
Our dear friend (and often-giver of musical goodness) mTye is on the newsstands. A regular at the "local" greens somewhere accessible via Manhattan (maybe I should read the article), mTye recently had a photographer follow him around for the day shooting a feature story on "Urban Golfing" for Sports Illustrated magazine, as well as a gallery feature for Golf.com.
Learning of the exciting news while we were attending Bonnaroo Music Fest in Tennessee (pics coming, I swear -- the family visit has been holding things up), my first question was tactless, as usual.
"And by 'Urban Golfer' do they mean Urban-Manhattan or Urban-Black in a fake-pc kinda way?" What? That's how all the Swedetards at my last job insisted they talk about the Black demographic. Idiots. Seemed like a valid question. Turns out they meant the former. Duh.
Congrats to mTye on his full-page spread, coverstory, and Golf.com feature. Grab your copy at newsstands now.
I'm a 26 year old Dr. Pepper drinker living in NYC. I love movies, own an iPhone, am a fiend of the 'small stuff' and romanticisms. I like umlauts and generalizations. I also bake 10 minute brownies in 7 minutes flat, participate in full-contact origami AND I saw the sign. It opened up my eyes, I saw the sign.
