Maystache is taking shape. I'm hoping I can count on Ryan and Jacob. I'm going to try and correspond it with a new tattoo and pair of glasses. It'll be like my own personal makeover. If you're interested in sporting a mustache for 31 glorious days - you should considered Maystache!
Next week looks promising with the release of the Band of Horses album, the Mates of State's newest full length, and I'm going to pick up the newest Some By Sea album.
This weekend I stopped by Tacoma's Black Water cafe...it was nice despite the underage hipsterdom. Whatever.
26/06 Update:
I may read Don Quixote next month recommendations on translations? I've heard good things about Edith Grossman, just not sure though. After stalling on the Secret History I've picked it up again and will finish it, with all hope, by mid-week.
I'm not posting reviews - but if you are interested in anything - or have suggestions - just post a comment. I'll be happy to post a short review, or even read a suggestion, assuming it's not a bad suggestion.
