How will people with a Boston accent differentiate between an iPod and an iPad?

???

In other news, I’m pretty excited about the JesusTablet from Apple. Hooray pretty things!

Details to come.

Also, I think instead of saying “Google” I’m going to replace it with “Guggenheim” Try saying “Guggenheim it!” It’s fun.

The shirts were just the ones on display. I’m sure there were many more.

Also, in case you missed the memo, I’m a top athlete. There’s a nice video to go along with it, too.

To protect the names of the innocent, I’ve blurred out the faces of the people until the dust settles a little bit. I’m not sure there even is dust, but I think notifying the proper people (wives, girlfriends) this happened is the first thing that is important.

It was totally spontaneous, random and what started as a joke, quickly turned into a serious endeavor. Those of you who know me know that I shave my head regularly (thanks male pattern baldness) so I had all the equipment to make their dream a reality, and all that talk turned into, “Well if you do it, I’ll do it…” haha. Pretty epic. Anyway, I was proud to be a part of it.

Anyway, here’s an update! Long overdue, but I’m doing it now, so that’s what counts.

I’m in Nashville recording our next record for The Autumn Film. I’m pretty excited, and I think it’s going to be the best album to date for us. It’s got a lot of great tracks that are decidedly more “pop” than our previous songs, but we’re in good hands, and I think the end result will be worth all the hard work we’re putting into it.

It’s really cool to be a part of all of this. I am really lucky that I’m able to be a full time musician which is what I have dreamed of being since I was a young boy. It’s kind of hard to believe it’s happening. I definitely don’t want to miss anything, and admittedly, it’s going by really fast, so I am doing my best to hang onto everything and be as present as I possibly can. It’s great when it happens just like that. It’s a blur when it doesn’t and I always end up regretting it later.

Jenny came out to see me for the weekend which was really sweet because she took a day off, and faced her fear of flying. It’s commendable, and I am really lucky to have such a gem.

I got rid of my twitter account, which I think is good because I’ll probably be blogging more. Also, 160 characters is hard to finish a complete thought. So there’s that.

I think we’re ready to record our next song! I gotta go!

Right off the bat, I’m totally intrigued. Jenny told me about it, and I have been dragging my feet to finish it because I am dumb. Today, I came across this, (which, funny side-story, I totally forgot that Daniel Pink was the author, and just thought watching this video would be interesting based on the title, and then I started getting really excited after I heard him speak, and was astounded to find that I am already reading his book, and then I realized that this is a way too long run on sentence. I’ll stop. Watch the video):

It’s 18 minutes long, but oh so worth it, and utterly fascinating.

I can’t tell you how excited I am to finish his book. I get so pumped when someone this inspiring talks about things that I am really passionate about. In general, I’m in love with TED talks, and if this is your first one, go check ‘em out! You’ll thank me later. They are so enriching, and I dream to someday attend a conference.

Watch out world!

Let me explain. I have recently become OBSESSED with cuban coffee. For those unfamiliar, it’s really a roasty and dark espresso that sugar is added to while brewing. Result: MAGICAL DELICIOUSNESS. I can’t quote explain how good it is. You’ll just have to try some. Beware though! As soon as it hits your lips, there is no turning back, and you will be hooked for good.

After I first tried it originally in Michigan by a fluke, I got back to Denver and went on a mission to find the liquid crack in coffee form a little closer to home.

I was in luck! I found a place called Cafe Buchi which is on 38th and Federal. (I recommend you check it out and say hi to Emmett, the owner. He’s really nice and makes the best coffee known to man. When I go now, I don’t even have to ask for what I want, because he already starts making a large cafe con leche.)

After realizing that I could literally drink myself into poverty given enough time, I decided to find out how to make it on my own. Thus, I found a place online and ordered the best beans for cuban coffee, called Supreme by Bustelo. A picture:

Supreme is...Supreme

Okay, so after ordering, I got a tracking number, and I constantly checked it to see where it was. It took longer than I was anticipating, but it made for a lame mini adventure. Here’s how the journey went:

In my mind, my coffee walked all the way here. It sure took long enough!

In any case, I am holding it right now, and I haven’t made any yet, but I am excited to. I’ll keep you updated.
