leslie delivers beats

We headed down to kilby court saturday to see leslie and the lys, with stereo total. what a show! fantastically gemtastic and glittered with a bedazzled assortment of musical bliss. Here's a few pics. my cameras broked, so these are from dustin. and you can see a great video of stereo total performing violent love here.

it just seemed appropriate for today.

how does it go from that to this.
what happens to people?
it bums me out.

i ran.

we did it! leah and i ran the moab half marathon over the weekend. 13.1 miles baby. The race went alongside the colorado river, in between red rock cliffs and ended in downtown moab. by the end of the race i swore i'd never do this again... but now it's all i can think about! Looking for the next big race, and maybe even a full marathon later this year.
Thanks to all the great friends who came down to cheer us on!

Amazing.

this is why moab is one of my favorite places in the world. (click on the picture above to see it at a size that does it justice) colton took this shot at deadhorse point when we were down there this weekend. as amazing as it is- the real thing is about a million times better. looking forward to a summer of moab weekends... camping... climbing... hiking... biking... colorado river swimming... midnight bonfires... and stars.
I'll upload more pics from the weekend later.

hopelessly in love with spring.

To be interested in the changing seasons is a happier state of mind than hopelessly in love with spring
I got a perfectly timed card in the mail from Jenna – just as the winter takes it’s final toll on my mental well being and my serotonin levels are near zero. It's a quote I should maybe take to heart... as I’m obsessed with the death of winter and hopelessly in love with spring.

Say Hi
Check out this new song by Say Hi — Just in time for the changing of seasons. I've had it on repeat all week. if we all blast it loud enough, maybe the snow will turn to sun, and the sun will turn to spring. (The band's hitting up Kilby in March!)

February Recap

I’ve kinda neglected to add any updates the past month. So here’s the February Recap…

Snowshoeing
It’s really pathetic to admit this – but this winter I was so busy and broke I didn’t go snowboarding once. Which is pathetic, considering there’s 4 resorts within 20 minutes of my house. Next winter I’ll rectify that. Or maybe I’ll just disappear to somewhere with sun for four months and work remote instead — anyone have a guest house and internet access?

I did get in my share of snowshoeing though (and tubing...and sledding...and just general snow frolicking). I’m absolutely addicted. With Grant and Jenna. on a full moon with peppermint schnapps, with Leah and Northern California boys, in the High Uintas, in the freezing cold and on sunny days, with Dustin, more Cali peoples and Mike, sledding with the Sandy kids… And of course, everytime with Maddie.

Anytime any of you far away friends friends want to come up - this is the beautiful stuff you have in store. There’s few things as awesome as being far off in the mountains when everything’s powder white. Here’s some pics, and more pics.































Great Friends
Great times at the Keithly’s with Melissa’s delicious cooking the ever entertaining little Noah and Zooey! Here’s the little man as Ironman…

Kilby Court
The always inspiring Jason Anderson payed Kilby Court a visit. Kyler and Jasmine convinced me to check this guy out on his last tour through town and now I’m hooked. The best way to describe a Jason Anderson show is lik a giant group hug for indie kids. Julie and I talked to him for a sec after the show and placed the Teach book… he even emailed me with a thank you (I’m still typing up my RV email back).

Here’s some pics and a little snippet of Jason’s infectious enthusiasm.

Goodbye Grant

















So my roomie Grant is on to the next big adventure. It was great to have him up here for the season and I wish my friend the best in his year of travels to come! He came up to auxilery for a couple months and it was a blast to have him around. For his last weekend in town I took him and his Nor Cal buddy down to one of my favorite spots (Moab/Canyonlands) for a quick Southern Utah roadtrip. Nothing better to clear your head and have some guaranteed fun than heading three hours south of Salt Lake to explore some of the most beautiful country you’ve ever seen. We went from four wheeling in Red rocks along the Colorado River Saturday, and crossed a 12,000 foot mountain divide on Sunday and a checked out kite boarding competition.

So that’s my February…
