You've waited this long for the unveiling, now get a taste of Ben's freaky new thing. Who would have thought this was the sound of the future.
So I decided to see Ben Gibbard in San Francisco. My friend couldn't go, so I ended up deciding to just take the Greyhound upstate (I live near LA... it was an 857 mile round-trip) and go it alone. Even though I hadn't been to SF in about 20 years (when I was four or five) and I have an awful sense of direction coupled with (actually probably responsible for) a fear of getting lost. I bought a good map of the city and got directions and maps for the bus off the computer th... MORE
I'm back, temporarily! For my friends who actually might want to hear about it, let me tell yas, the wedding I attended in Cape Breton was THE most wonderful wedding I've ever been to, and probably ever will.

This is really my last post for today. Really. Cause I'm finally leaving work.
It's been a while since I posted anything, but that's going to change. And I'm going to make up for my absence with an MP3 upload. It's my first, so I hope it works.
I love it when great singers do cheesy songs.
PS - if for some reason this doesn't work, let me know.
