Sorry for slacking... been doing a bit of traveling and preparing/recovering from traveling the past two weeks. If I have a chance, I'll share some observations. Also was hoping to review a bunch of shows recently seen, but we'll see if that materializes. minimix is also taking the week off, first vacation for that tireless fella in a while.

In the meantime, to sum the last couple of weeks here's a one man word-association:

• Portland... beer
• Boston... Seltox
• Wood Brothers... fun
• Rilo Kiley... sexygroovyfun
• Previte... nutz
• Rashanim... underappreciated
• cheeseburger... yesplease
  
• wedding+traveling... time4dieting

enjoy your weekend
