for chrissake.

i've worn glasses since i was 9, and i can't imagine not wearing them... they're part of who i am i think. i can see how the surgery might be useful if you have to work in a very labor intensive job where you're upside or something for long periods of time like my dad and his friend who work on air conditioners...my dad's friend actually had it done a year or 2 ago, and i don't think he's had any major issues other than he has to carry eye drops with him.

HAPPY BIRTHDAY!

HAPPY BIRTHDAY!

i'm excited about it too. at my house we've always run pc, but 2 years ago i bought my macbook, and now i hate working on the pc at home. granted, i don't really know how to DO much on my mac other than import into itunes, surf the interweb, and type school work in pages.

i've met Jay, and found him to be very approachable.

Avett Brothers on ACL tonight!

that's so funny! i have a picture with Pat where he looks dazed as all get out!

Glad you gave us an update, Greg! I hope you recover swiftly!

basically every opera ever written....

I've talked to all the current members several times. Jeff has always been the nicest to me, with John and Glenn in close 2nd. I got to talk to Jay Bennett when he and Ed Burch came to Chattanooga when I was a sophomore in high school. My dad took me to the bar to see the show, and we ended up talking with Jay for a long time! He even offered to help me with my algebra homework!

10/14/05- Asheville, NC- Thomas Wolfe 3/17/06- Nashville, TN- Ryman 1/30/07- Knoxville, TN- Bijou Theatre (Jeff Solo) 6/19/07- Atlanta, GA- Chastain Park 8/24/07- Berkley, CA- Greek Theatre 8/26/07- Santa Barbra, CA- Santa Barbra County Bowl 3/2/08- Nashville, TN- Ryman (upcoming 3/26/09- Atlanta) I am still kicking myself for missing them when they were in Knoxville last Spring. I saw the Avett Brothers that night instead in my hometown.

i enjoyed it a lot, it really should have won. i didn't watch the award show, but did check amanda palmer's tweets about it every so often. she posted a couple "behind the scenes" pictures during it all, and they were funny.

Besides "Into the Mystic" i don't really care for any other Van Morrison songs... at all.

i am going to watch baseball this year because it looks fun.

what are shoes? they don't sell them foot warmers in these parts. (seriously? whoa.)

i laughed at that for a good ten minutes friday morning.

I would say your best bet is to go hang around the venue the afternoon of the show.

Bummer!

i think it was a bit too Son Volt-y, actually, for my tastes.

what in the hell was that?

J.S. Bach sounds just like Wilco, only slower and without the annoyingness of lyrics.
