Birthday party stalker snow days

First off, I just had my 29th birthday. I don't feel any different, but I feel more pressure to 'be my own man.' So here's to Being My Own Man: 2008.

Ever since Christmas time there has been a perpetual downfall of snow. Living in Rexburg, Idaho is now a drag. I use to love this place, until those tiny snowflakes started falling and falling and multiplying and taking over. I compare it to that Star Trek episode where the Tribbles. Those tribbles were exciting to have around in small doses, but tribbles don't stop multiplying until every last open space is filled with them. (thought: what do you do with dead tribbles?) So now the snow is everywhere and just keeps coming. I have to clean off my car several times a day. I have shovel the driveway everyday. My arms should be buffer from all that snow lifting. Almost like a daily tradition I have help or get help with stuck vehicles.

This weekend I traveled down to Salt Lake City for a couple reasons. It was my friend Lex's birthday party, it was also my birthday. Her party was full of people, dancing, food, and energy, which it was a little much for me. And there were some people i was trying to avoid at the party, but ultimately they found me.

Quick dangerous news. As my friends were driving back from Salt Lake the snow continued to come down. While driving my friend Justin lost control of Lindsay's car and spun out into a snow bank on the side of the highway. I woke up from sleeping in the passengers seat right as this was happening. I was calm, but the girls were screaming. We hit the bank and snow was piled up the side of my door up to my window. I pushed it open and with some luck we were able to get the car out. If it were my car, I know we would have been stuck. We were so lucky!

OTHER EXCITING NEWS
A year ago I booked Ghostland Observatory to play in Rexburg, Idaho. They came back a half a year later and then their popularity exploded. Now they are playing festivals and flying from city to city on crazy tours. Every week someone who remembers them coming to Rexburg asks me, When is Ghostland coming back? To answer this once and for all I emailed them to see if they could return to Rexburg, but they decided to decline since it wasn't in their flight schedule. They said that I should just enjoy the memories for what they are. This is what I expected. What I didn't expect was this video shout out.



That was awesome! It's nice to know that your efforts are still remembered and won't be forgotten. A special thanks to all that attended those shows. That was my best birthday gift!
