Whoever decided that incorporating a karaoke feature into Myspace obviously didn’t count on me abusing it for all it’s worth. I know I can’t sing - does that stop me? No. I know I make a fool of myself - does that stop me? No. Besides, it’s ultimately about the feeling, and this rendition of Joe Cocker’s cover of “With A Little Help From My Friends” has got feeling out the yin-yang. So much, in fact, I might have blown out the microphone. Do not crank this one. In fact, don’t even listen to it. Just skip this post altogether.

As mentioned prior, I, along with Maya, Kevin, and Mike, will be going to see Radiohead this Thursday night at Lakewood Amphitheatre.
I tried my best to refrain from seeking out the setlist from the first show of the U.S. leg of the tour which was last night in W. Palm Beach, but that lasted all of no time at all. Not surprisingly (and I don’t think this would be a spoiler), a large majority of the setlist was from “In Rainbows”. Which is great and all - but I was thinking: If I could do my dream setlist for the band (and actually restrict it and not just say, “Play every song from every album”), what would it be? I decided to pick 23 songs as that’s how many they played last night (!!) in West Palm. Anyone care to chime in? Additions? Subtractions?
This year’s Derby Day was fun despite the smaller-than-usual group and threat of cruddy weather. The rain moved out early and we did manage to get some sun before the night came and cooled things off.
This year’s biggest sponsor was Bulleit Bourbon, who set up a huge area in the sponsor tent complete with free bourbon drinks, leather couches, and coffee tables. (Big ups to Jamie at 94.9 The Bull for the sponsor passes! Thanks, Jame!)
Trisha became kind of a big deal to say the least. But being the brother of one of her friends from Young Harris College paid off. Got to meet her backstage and everything. This was just after her first hit, “She’s In Love With The Boy”, took off.
This guy came screaming out of nowhere, landed on my office window ledge, and proceeded to attack his reflection for over 20 minutes. Must be mating season and he’s getting defensive.
Without further ado, then, I present to you, dear readers, “Forklift Driver Klaus” (German with English subtitles - may not be appropriate for those who are easily squeamish)…
OK, yes, it’s not real. Whatever. “Gabelstapler” is a great word.
The UGA2000 clan drove down from Athens for this game. Amy and I had been dating for a couple months at this point. I took a great picture of her in front of the Hank Aaron statue out front before the game. I wonder where that picture is.
The elevator, underrated and overlooked, is to the city what paper is to reading and gunpowder is to war. Without the elevator, there would be no verticality, no density, and, without these, none of the urban advantages of energy efficiency, economic productivity, and cultural ferment. The population of the earth would ooze out over its surface, like an oil slick, and we would spend even more time stuck in traffic or on trains, traversing a vast carapace of concrete. And the elevator is energy-efficient—the counterweight does a great deal of the work, and the new systems these days regenerate electricity. The elevator is a hybrid, by design.
Luci’s big moment, playing in front of tons of family and friends. I remember Amy crying with happiness when she and the rest of the band came out on stage. I remember going to a bar with Moby and Josh playing Fatboy Slim on the jukebox. I remember meeting him. I remember not having a good feeling about it. I remember telling myself to put the past away and not be so judgmental. I remember that being difficult. Some good memories are tainted with not-so-good ones.
