While walking down a dusty old road I noticed something off in the distance. It was a mine. Little did I know I had just stumbled upon one of the greaatest discoveries I've ever even imagined. Being a normal curious human being i walked down the hill to the mine to go check it out. What I found was amazing. A ghost town. Not just that but real silver and a billion of the coolest looking nick-nacks just scattered on an old table in an even oldr building. Later I would find out that I found a lost silver mine form [View Full Entry]

Wowo, it’s been quite a string of no blogging. We did a few sold-out shows in Logan, UT, which was great. We played at a university theater, I think, and it was beautiful. The crew and venue were fantastic and just on top of life in general. During the second show, after the video, Sarah was supposed to call cues. She didn’t. My thoughts: Is she dead? If she’s dead, I can’t go check on her for like 4 songs… I’m sure I could call my cues and video cues, but I’m getting nervous. Anyway, turns out her microphone button was [View Full Entry]

Well, I'm here! I packed my life into suitcases (again) and shipped myself across the United States to Colorado, where I'll be living through May 31, 2009. If you read my last post, forget what I said about where I'll be living. That changed, rather unexpectedly. I'm still in Breckenridge for the ski season, but my friend Steve changed his mind about coming West and I had to adjust my housing plans accordingly. I don't have a car out here (the environmentalist in me frowns upon it) so I located alternative housing that is a little more accessible to the town [View Full Entry]

Okay ya'll... Just cuz I'm in school doesn't mean I don't get out. This summer was amazing, and the climbing endless. In Boulder, there are thousands of climbs within 10 minutes of your doorstep. In August, Duncan and Karl came out for a 4 day climb trip, and soon I'll be headed to Mexico to see them again. Boulder - to anyone that hasn't been here - is one big happy bubble. Once you come, you don't ever want to leave. There are so many people who come here to visit, and just decide that this is it for them. Here, [View Full Entry]

Letzten Freitag wurde hier Halloween zelebriert. Ich war anfangs ein wenig skeptisch, ob ich die Begeisterung der Amerikaner für dieses Fest teilen würde, wurde aber schnell eines Besseren belehrt. In der City war die Hölle los und wirklich jeder war verkleidet. Die meisten Leute waren durchaus kreativ, von Weinreben bis zu einer Bergsteiger Seilschaft war wirklich alles zu sehen. Sehr beliebte "Motive" waren natürlich auch Sarah Palin und ihre schwangere Tochter. Ich war in einem aus eigenen Klamotten und einer geliehenen "Lederhose" zusammengeschusterten Kostüm als Deutscher unterwegs. Das [View Full Entry]

...Toto I don't think we are in Kansas anymore... Today was a long day on the road...as many of you witnessed as I was sending constant text/picture messages to you. With the time change in the Great Plains region we actually woke up at 6:30 eastern time which was 5:30 their time. We wanted to get on the road fairly early because we were unsure of the weather in the Rockie's. So at 7am we departed from the lovely town of Abilene and once again began our trek on I70 to the great state of Colorado. It was almost 300 miles [View Full Entry]

Things are continuing to go well here in Alamosa, although I have admit I've been a bit homesick lately. Most of the time I'm pretty busy which helps with missing DC, but I'm very much looking forward to coming home for a break at Christmas. I've had the chance to meet some new friends outside of La Puente over the past few weeks, which has been a great help. It's nice to be able to spend time with people outside of those you work and live with. A couple weekends ago, my housemate Kevin and I went on a retreat with [View Full Entry]

Hello, Everyone -- Well, the weather was much warmer today, so canvassing was the name of the game. I finished up yesterday's route, and surprise-surprise -- I had a meaningful discussion with a McCain supporter who did not run me off his porch. He stepped out and we chatted, so much in fact, that I went back to headquarters to get some Obama on Veterans literature and dropped it off later. I also talked to an Iraqi soldier who is headed back next week. He told me he's not planning to vote at all. He was so polite and friendly, really [View Full Entry]
