Barnraisin

Had to get some foundation work done this week. They dug out a bunch of holes along the edge of the cement slab (and sometimes through it) and installed a bunch of concrete piers to lift the bad bitch up on 3 sides. Here's the front porch:

And the back:



And here's a shot after they were done, piers installed and patches filled:

Get out of my life!

ACL Fest 2008 Wrap-Up

My ACL Fest 3-day pass paid off big time for the second year in a row. I'm pretty tempted to go ahead and get a cheap 2009 pass right now while they're available. Let me crank out some best of's:


  • Best Daytime Show: MGMT

  • Best Sunset Show: David Byrne


  • Best Night Show: Band of Horses


  • Best Surprise Show: CSS, who I hadn't heard but came highly recommended


  • Worst Surprise Show: Beck ending 15 minutes early (insert Xenu joke)


  • Best Heard in the Distance Show: Gogol Bordello

  • Best Fro-Bobbing Guitar Solo: Mars Volta


  • Best T-Shirt: Illegal (with an arrow pointing sideways)


  • Best Food: Salt Lick Chopped Beef Sandwich during M Ward's show at the Wamu Memorial Pavilion - messy but good as hell with a ton of extra sauce


  • Worst Food: Salt Lick sausage wrap during Band of Horses - the link was like plastic and the tortilla was like an old horse blanket


  • Best Beer: a tie between the Heineken tall I drank just before Neko Case came on and the bud light at the Deep Eddy Cabaret


  • Least Finished Beer: The last one I was drinking on Saturday - some asshole kicked it over in the passing stampede as we packed up our chairs to head out


  • Most Hilarious Dance: The guy in the front right of my picture from the Raconteurs with the visor hat - he was doing this awesome snake wiggle that he had clearly practiced over years of outdoor concert grooving
