  • 2013 in a nutshell

    2013 was a year filled with many events. I had the opportunity to work on festivals I’ve always wanted to attend or be involved with, and it was a rewarding experience. Music festivals are a lucrative business, and I’m grateful for the chance to work on some of the biggest ones, gaining valuable perspective on…

  • Why I really started snowboading

    I started snowboarding in 2008 and would love to give others the same experience I’ve had or something close to it. Until 2008, I had only been on a snowboard once before in my life, and that was in 2006, indoors on man-made snow in Dubai. An experience that both terrified and elated me at…

  • Apple has me by the balls and here’s why….

    I made the leap back into Apple last year by buying a used MacBook pro, it was a necessity at the last minute as my dell laptop succumbed to the dreaded nvidia failure that almost all laptops had from that year. I was going to be traveling the next day and I didn’t have time…

  • A great list…

    If you want to enrage a conservative, I suggest saying the following: 1. A Socialist wrote the Pledge of Allegiance. 2. Jesus healed the sick and helped the poor, for free. 6. The Founding Fathers were liberals. 7. Fascism is a right-wing trait. 10. Reagan raised taxes eleven times as President. 11. Reagan legalized abortion…

  • Recipes

    A friend made this for me the other night, and holy crap it’s awesome! Chop / Blend the shallots, red chilies, big chilies and turmeric together. Smash the lemon grass, stir all the blended ingredients (till it smells good). This sauce is good with beef, shrimp or chicken.  You cook everything together in a large…

  • Snowboarding Adventures and High-Flying Events: A Winter Tale

    I’ve been remiss in my writing for a while now, so here I am catching myself up! I’ve been picking up more events recently, which is good, but I’ve not been snowboarding enough, which is bad. So far this season I’ve been to Whistler a couple of times and hit the Snoqualmie as well. I…

  • Quote

    “There is a temptation with a place like The Joynt to keep recapturing that Thursday night, and when you see that new frat boy whopping and slamming shots in the barber’s chair, you want to grab him by the scruff of the neck and say, Son, you are not a drinker, you are a swallower,…

  • Another year another event

    I’ve been working on this event for the Zoo for the last 10 years. I got involved when I was first starting out at PNTA. Since then I’ve seen the event grow and evolve into one of the best events in Seattle, and arguably one of the best group of people I’ve ever worked with.…

  • The outlook is blank?

    I went to look up my horoscope for my birthday and this is what came up.  I’ve not altered aside from cropping it to fit into the blog.  I think it’s freaking hilarious that it comes up blank. How do I take this?  I can look at it as the stars don’t know what’s going…

  • Holidays 2008 – post production report

    The 2008 holidays started with my having to purchase new tires for my car…  It was needed but at the same time I was hoping to avoid doing it until after the first of the year, but as the quote goes, “Life is what happens while you’re making other plans".”  So I accept the fact…
