the Central Eastside Industrial District/ Marriage Records "The Lightnings" won our second game on thursday, March 29th 2007. here is an awesome picture from right before our first game (stolen from the marriage records homepage)

what a rag tag group of players we got. i am so proud of our team! such a scrappy bunch, taking the beefy-er, perhaps more serious teams by surprise with our undying heart, our loud yelling and screaming, our aggression, and our utter lack of foot /ball handling skills. we are 1-1 so far. GO LIGHTNINGS! Im sure that sometimes Lightnings keeper/ UHAC team owner Mike Merrill will post some footage and re-caps over at the UHAC blog soon enough, but IM PROUD RIGHT NOW. much less sore than last game. I feel like as a team we are learning how to pace ourselves. Now its time to really develop our offense into something big and scary.

in other news, last tuesday was my birthday and i want to send a special shout out to all the cool homies who came out to the longest running and oldest restaurant/bar in portland, Huber's. the Spanish coffees were dramatically poured, the magic tricks were very easy to see through, and my thanksgiving style turkey dinner was perhaps the best i have ever had.
Extra special thanks go out to Jona, who, after bumming a ride with me to Fry's to shop for car stereos, decided to just GIVE me the one out of his sad, totaled car. THANKS HOMIE! My ride is finally getting re-pimped.
Of course, even more extra special thanks goes to Honey, who - despite having to put up with me day in and day out for years on end - somewhere, somehow found the kindness and patience in her heart to be especially sweet, giving and loving to me on my birthday. thanks baby. I love you!!!!!

No other real news to speak of at this point. Honey's Valet record Blood is Clean gets official wide release from Kranky on April 16th, so if you have 15 bucks just laying around waiting to get spent, go out and get it at the stores so it can reach #1 in the charts.

Rob Walmart's got a show tomorrow, Sunday April 1st, at Holocene with Ghosting and Pash and some rock band with strings. Here's what the Portland Mercury had to say about it: "Ghosting blasts scary noise like they are Rob Walmart's evil twin; both mine from the sound collage vein, but Walmart's soundtrackscapes are more easily stomached. "
????????!?!?!?!?!?!?!?!?!?!?!?!?!??!?!?!?!?!?!?!?!?!?!?!??!?!?!?!?so weird!!
