Fantastic Friday.

Super creative title, I know. But today counts as super-good (on a general scale of good-ness) and is thus blog-worthy.

I have a photographer for Portland, which is pretty fantastic, because now I have someone who is kind of contractually bound (minus the "contract" part) to me for every concert I attend that requires photographic evidence of my involvement.
Amazing.
I'm really excited because she's such an obvious choice. I didn't just need a Portland photographer, I needed a cool Portland photographer. Because we'd have to hang together during shows and stuff.

I wish I could pay everyone who contributes to AM.
I spend way too much time and effort trying to get to that point with the site. In the meantime, I'm still so super proud of it.

I am going to see Ice Palace (recommended track: "Trampolining") play with Cloud Cult and Say Hi on Sunday.
Ice Palace has really grown on me, so I demanded (politely requested) free tickets.
I also just found out that going to see Cloud Cult is so very indie-blogger-chic. I don't know how to feel about that, but I think I might like it.

Rather than writing news updates (which is a seriously daunting task when there is no news to report), I've spent most of today studying. What, exactly, I mean by that is of no consequence. But I sometimes feel like the website (which I am still refusing to refer to by name, so as to evade Google's radar) is getting bigger than my ability to deal with it.
So I read a lot about how to, like, run a business and shit.

In terms of the music stuff, 17 year old me would think 25 year old me is such a serious badass. In terms of sentences like So I read a lot about how to, like, run a business and shit, she would totally think I suck.

Anyway. Andy thinks we should go for a walk in the park. Literally.
I think we should go for a walk around Powell's. Again.
It's a habit I should probably try to break.
In the meantime, I'll be there tonight if anyone wants to stalk me. (Don't stalk me.)
