Aura

Had a great first day at the Pitchfork Music Festival. Got about 30 feet from Neko Case for her hour long set. She kicks serious ass. Other notables included Animal Collective (crazy stage effects), Battles (avant garde post-rock is way more enjoyable than I thought), and Gatekeeper (some absurd techno that I can't even describe, yet somehow it was addictive).

Quickbooks is relatively simple. I spent about a week learning the basics of it in my auditing class a few years back.

This one looks fucking good, Al. Jealous I have been colored.

James Blake - James Blake I'm very undecided on this one.

Great Lakes Edmund Fitzgerald. Probably the most sessionable beer I've ever had.

Happy birthday to my favorite Viking! Have a good one Biggie.

Happy birthday Mike! Avoid watch stores at all costs.

Happy birthday Greg!

FFF Arctic Panzer Wolf and Stone RIS Belgo Anise.

Drink the rum Chris. You've earned it, congrats .

Brent - right back at ya, congrats man. Mike - Sounds good to me! I'm excited to work in some Sunday trips to Munster . John - oh dear. Thanks again everyone.

Hans Zimmer with Rodrigo y Gabriela - Pirates of the Caribbean: On Stranger Tides Soundtrack. Don't be hatin', Rodrigo y Gabriela are kicking some ass on this one.

Haha, no problem dude, we'll drain FFF dry next visit. As if Mike hasn't been trying that for a couple years now It goes without saying, thanks so much everyone. Feels pretty good, that's for sure.

Decided to stay in after all. The drinking is still happening. FFF Apocalypse Cow. Mike G. was right, this shit is good.

The trip is looking amazing Al . I guess some things are just meant to be. Spent the last week and a half feeling as nervous and tense as I maybe ever have in my life. Accenture called today and offered me a job, and more importantly, offered me a job in Chicago. My recruiter thought that there was no chance for Chicago, but a small number of openings popped in the past day or so and she was able to accommodate my location preference. So... apparently I will now be a systems integration analyst. Going out to celebrate tonight.

Happy birfday Justin!

Happy birthday Scott!

That was the first beer I bought after turning 21. Saved the bottle .

Hopslam in the appropriate pint glass.

Or just hit him with a shovel.

I'm pretty sure I agree with you, but I need to listen to it one more time. I lagged behind and hadn't gotten around to it until then. Right now: Deadmau5 - 4x4=12

Way to be, Mike. Enjoy!

Better than I expected.

Mono - Hymn to the Immortal World. Rather epic so far.

Gorillaz - Plastic Beach
