HARE KRISHNA HARE KRISHNA KRISHNA KRISHNA HARE HARE HARE RAMA HARE RAMA RAMA RAMA HARE HARE

My spring break/birthday road trip

This keeps getting better.

Thursday, March 22nd: Leaving PDX and cruising down highway 101 to Redwood International park; sleeping in a hostel there

Friday, March 23rd (my 24th birthday): Eating lunch at Taqueria Cancun in SFO, meeting up with Devin, Kathryn, & Sonny in Oakland, seeing Cock SParrer again, ending at the Burger Boogaloo (Chelsea, Taylor)

Saturday, March 24th: Original plan was to have lunch at Truly Mediterranean, have a burrito to go, get back on highway 101, stop in Big Sur, and have dinner in LA. Might stay an extra day in the bay depending on the Boogaloo lineup

Sunday, March 25th: LA… planning on seeing Jason, David, Ivy, maybe Stephen & Jmau. I have no idea what to do in LA. Hopefully there is a show at the smell.

Monday, March 26th: Another day in LA or my first time to Tijuana (Original plan was another day in the bay)

Tuesday, March 27th: Probably heading home up I-5, got to stop in historic Brownsville, Oregon and see all the set points from Stand By Me

Wednesday, March 28th: Should be home in my bed

Here’s our video for “Searching Through The Past”! Directed by Molly Schiot.

So relevant right now. I love this vid.

Vivian Girls - Take It As It Comes

Pavement Texas Never Whispers
BA DA DA DA DA BA DA DA DA DA

I’ve got such romantic notions about Texas and it is driving me crazy.
Also, the Dicks are hip everywhere, not just in my car. I saw their discog CD on the table at a house show last night and wish I knew who lived there so I could ask them if they have anything else to teach me. How is this new to me? I’m so grateful that Texas hasn’t been ruined for me by politicians who hail from there, or by Texas pride (pride is actually sexy)… and that I’m swooning over these ancient ideas. But I can’t believe that such ancient ideas are so new to me (and by these ideas I’m referring to Texas bands, not Pavement… this song is just a perfect summation of my swooning as it dates back to my teenage bedroom on repeat with a pounding heartache). To hear punk legends for the first time at 23 is embarassing (DRI), but to recognize that the music I hold closest in my heart is derivative of such greatness…

I’m behind and I need to catch up. Naïveté is endearing sometimes, right?
This confession doesn’t hurt as bad (embarrassment) as swooning over all these new to me discoveries feels good. And, of course it wasn’t my FIRST TIME, as the songs were familiar, but it was certainly the first time that I knowingly put the record on the turn table myself (DRI)…

(Insert second video here: Jawbreaker Boxcar)

Basically, I am 13. After years of stunted emotional development I have gotten to where my gentleman peers appear to have been at age 13.

My life.

Next Weekend: Roe v. Wade 39th Anniversary

Sick of partying all the time? Wondering how many consecutive weekends you can see the same bands play the same places? Pro-Choice/Feminist/Sex Positive?

There are some incredible events happening in Portland on January 26th-28th, and I’d like to share them with you. See you there!

Thursday, January 26th: NARAL Chocolates For Choice ($20 advance tickets get you two deserts and unlimited wine.)
Event Flyer

Friday, January 27th: Stories From Survivors of the Sex Trade  (One of the speakers was a total Portland scenester in the time of the Wipers; all of this will be good.)
Speakers

Saturday, January 28th: Jane Screening & Q&A with Judith Arcana (of the Jane 7) and Kate Weck (Oregon Abortion Fund) (I am especially excited for this, google JANE: An Abortion Service and get the scoop. Also: This one is FREE at Red & Black)

Performance art I’m not sure you can see unless we’re facebook friends…
