“I looked out the window of the taxi on the drive into New Orleans and remarked ‘There’s still so much devastation - I can’t believe they haven’t cleaned this mess up’ to which the driver stared at me and said ‘This part of the city wasn’t affected by the hurricane - its always looked like this.’ ” - Banksy

AHHHH.
I’ve received so many emails and IM’s about some viral campaign that is going on. I swear on everything that at the time I am writing this I have NO IDEA what citizensforourbetterment.com is.
We Cant Stop Thinking did not make the website or come up with the campaign.
I will probably get even more of you writing me thinking that this post is part of the campaign but it is not. It is...

Hydrate.
According to rumors online, I shouldn’t buy a MacBook Pro at this point because new ones are supposed to come out in September. My current home computer is too slow for what I want to do on it.
I am itching to record some new Tequila Mockingbird stuff and to flesh out the current songs we have but my computer just can’t handle it.
I’ve been listening to the new Faint record,...
Ha!
This is too good not to blog. I just found out that this guy that works in our office is 27 years old. I thought he was 21. The entire time he worked here, he thought I was 30 and that Shawn was 32. Pretty amazing.

I won’t even begin to try to explain the Opening Ceremony of the Olympics. Don’t look at photos, don’t look at video clips…Watch the entire thing. It is ground breaking. It is one of the craziest things I have ever seen, ever. The technology, choreography and ideas behind the Ceremony is all fully insane. It is hard to find a full video. Most of you will have to catch it on...

Old Friends or Enemies!
I just found a news story that I’ve never seen before with a video about Friends or Enemies from when Shawn and I ran it. HILARIOUS!!!!

This weekend was so insane. We had some really, really insane parties at Angels & Kings. However, I don’t want to see alcohol for at least a week. I got to see tons of old friends and make some new ones. If Chicago was like that all the time, we’d be dead.
There are some photos on wireimage.com and Nate will be posting the entire weekend photos on the AK site tonight.
Thank You...
