show

The School of Art and Design needs to get on it's horse because there's an exhibition that I'M A PART OF that's not being advertised on any university website. Anyway, I'm playing a show at the video studio on Friday March 13th. I don't know what time exactly but I think 8pm is a safe bet. I have a hard time describing the music I make and why I'm passionate about it but I think if you see/ hear it you'll kind of get it. I also have a movie I made last semester on display at the Duderstadt Gallery until March 14th. On a related note I'm in the video studio again Friday March 20th as model in my friend Stewie's thesis/ fashion show.

Busy month out here but April is looking a bit more chill so hopefully I can make it home for a day then.

Hockey Season ends

Tonight the Royal Oak Ravens played the Brother Rice Warriors in a preregional game. I was very proud of our boys. Brother Rice is probably the best team in the state right now, but our guys showed they can play with the best. The Ravens ran out of gas in the third period, but up until them, we were in the fight. We lost 4-0, but it was a very close game until the middle of the third period. Great season, boys!

I now know why it's called the "red-eye." The issue isn't that it's 11am in California, lord knows I should be awake by then. It's that I've been up since 3:30amPT and it's now 2pmET. I've effectively been awake for nearly 11hrs by now. And I couldn't recline my seat due to a combination of crowded airplane + tray table + fat person sleeping behind me. And we sat on the tarmac at SFO during which time they did some maintenance on the brakes and unloaded 21 passengers because the plane was 3 tons overweight.

I gather this sort of thing is a regular occurrence.

I'm also upset that it's a full 40 degrees colder here.

Graduation

The big day for Brendan is fast approaching - only 9 weeks to go.

Who is going to attend the ceremony at Michigan Stadium? I have invited Grammy and Papa and I think they will be there. Mom and I will certainly be at the event.

Brendan - Do you want your brothers to be there? Any other guests that are important to you?

Brendan needs to pickup tickets the week before. The tickets dates are here:

The big day is May 2, 2009 and gates open at 8:00am.

There also is an event for the School of Music at Power Center on Friday, May 1. Brendan should get an invitation for this event and Mom and I would like to attend.

Lets make sure we are ready for this big day.

I worked so hard for the first 6 weeks of school that I feel like I actually deserve this break. We havn't planned a single thing. At all. Leave tomorrow at noon and I don't even know where we go after we get our bags. I was told a yacht was involved.

I don't even know what to pack. Weather.com has been switching back between multiple days of rain and multiple days of sunshine.

By the end of this semester I'll have a 35 minute hd documentary, a self-designed interactive website archiving/ showing off my artistic endeavors (complete with general resume), and a degree. Not bad for 12 credits.

Keep March 13-14 open because I'm pretty sure Airport will be playing in a space that's not a filthy smoke filled basement and thus, more conducive to parents enjoyment.

Girls next door move out ahh!

Apparently, i am the last person to know of this, however, Bridget and Kendra are breaking up with hef. Kendra and Bridget both have expanding careers and are moving out of the mansion. Bridget is invovled with director Nicholas Carpenter and plans on having an actual career. Holly, learned that hef...isnt all hes cracked up to be in his old age. He doesnt have enough lil hefs to have a baby with Holly, and that sent the relationship into a downward spiral!! There are rumors she left hef for Criss angel the midfreak guy, but hef and holly deny those are true...thank god. Shes the best lookin of the three. Now hes back in his ways with two 19 year old twins. I cant say i object to these girls, but...i like these three he had. I'm pretty broken up about it. I dont keep up on celeb gossip or wouldve known this since Bridget left in the fall, and Kendra is working on moving out asap. These two new girls better be kool.
