Why haven’t I told THIS story yet? Probably because it’s been nearly six months. Probably because it’s so surreal that some part of me denies that it ever happened.
My experience at the Monolith Music Festival last September topped out with the Yeah Yeah Yeahs on Saturday night. Not that everything surrounding it wasn’t perfection - [...]

The Night We Sang with Karen O
Record Store Day!
Stayin’ busy.
A little while ago, Katie and I went to the National Record Store Day activities at Luna in Broad Ripple. Photo share!
Luna.
Katie. She’s kind of the most adorable ever, right? See the dandelion in her hand? A stranger just handed that to her. Yeah, it’s a weed, but strangers just hand her flowers. It’s [...]
OK, I believe you.
I seldom feed my own money into the jukebox. This isn’t to say I’m hustling dollars for tunes — I just very rarely carry cash. Most places in town have those digital joints, where you pay fifty cents per song. You’ll typically find me and my girl Katie up there, the LEDs splashing color on [...]
I Woke Up Today
From My Old Kentucky Blog:
Port O’Brien was also one of the best live shows I saw in 2008. Their “pots and pan finale” of I Woke Up Today made for the best audience participation, and way-to-end-on-a-great-note, at any concert this year.
I concur.
Bloomington Debauchery, Chapter Twenty-Seven.
The great thing about Indianapolis is that if a band you like isn’t necessarily knocking on your back door, you can always find them playing in a nearby city. Go Go, Midwest. Last week, there were TWO such happenings — Ra Ra Riot in Louisville and Delta Spirit in Bloomington.
I talked to my wallet about [...]
When You Are Enchanted by Sedaris
The Girls and I decided to start a book club, which we’ve called “The Lady Literates,” because we’re fuckin’ ladies. Our first book was David Sedaris’s new memoir, ”When You are Engulfed in Flames.” This was also centered around the fact that David’s book tour was stopping in our little Broad Ripple bookstore, Big Hat Books.
I adore [...]
Giving it a Hurl
You know what I did yesterday? I threw up.
I haven’t done that since my Lost Thursday of ‘05.
Saturday was Katie’s birthday celebration, and we sat poolside drinking vodka lemonades, and the next thing I know I am walking around Meijer the next day, shopping for hangover cures (Aleve and Easy Mac), and I’m thinking, “You [...]

Let me preface this entry by saying this: I love my work, for the most part. But if you don’t have something about your job that is utterly and completely ridiculous, you are lying to yourself. Especially at the entry-level – dear God – something inane happens on a daily basis.
I was asked [...]
Camille.
Okay, I’m at work, and I feel like cah-rap. I never, ever [knock on wood] get sick, ever. I get head colds like, twice a year. I can’t remember the last time I went home from work due to being sick, and the last time I vomited due to causes excluding alcohol was 1993, and [...]
Just Like a Prayer…
Jana’s birthday party was 80s-themed. I’m always a bit put-off by theme parties because they always involve more effort than I like in getting ready. But as soon as I hit the GOLDMINE that was the 96th street Goodwill, it turned into the highlight of my weekend.
For less than $5, I became the owner of a [...]
G.A.M.E. N.I.G.H.T.
It started when I commented on Brooke’s abundance of obscure 90s trivia. “You are so on my trivial pursuit pop culture team,” I had said.
It was decided that we needed a game night, and Jana was gracious enough to host.
We begin game night with wine and various delicious appeteasers enjoyed by all.
Winos!
Jana with tasty, tasty [...]
Media Motherf*ckers.
These are My Girls, aka, the Ladies With Whom I Work - I’m not sure when I started calling them “My Girls,” possibly just this second.
Left to Right - Bess, Jana, Katie, Me, Brooke.
This wasn’t a special occasion. We dress like this every day.
Many jellow shots later…
Announcement!
I’ll be in Bloomington for a company retreat later this week, but my lady work friends and I are heading down early for a night of college tomfoolery!
Therefore, if you’re going out on the town tomorrow, meet me at the Bluebird for cheap drinks, cheap thrills, and me, trying not to get drunk before a company function (where [...]
