WHOCARESWGD

I wasn't alone in thinking that 2009 music was ho-hum, but I'm excited for 2010 to make a comeback. Here's a good list of what we may expect here.

Also, there's at least 3 people heading to Coachella this year in April. If you haven't seen the lineup and wanna come along, check it out here!

NAMM was pretty cool this year, even though it's pretty much the same every year. Here's a recap of all the stuff I tweeted while I was there, in reverse order however. No comment on the Chargers' loss on Sunday. Epic fail part three? Four? Lost track at this point. R.I.P. NK.

Blog's gettin' a little empty and I've been killing myself at work all week, so I think a post is in order.

I've made a point leave work out of the conversation in this thing, but it has been really cool lately with all the web development and video production stuff I've been doing. I don't know when it happened, but I've become a full-fledged IT man at this little company. I already know 2010 is the breakout year and there's even bigger shoes to fill.

Anyway, Everett, Dad and I are heading to Anaheim for NAMM on Saturday morning to check out the latest advances in music instrument and equipment technology. Still don't know if there' going to be any big names attending, but if possible I'd like to come back with a new guitar or something.

I'm really more excited about the Charger game on Sunday though. And although we're going to keep the ''party'' low-key, there will be nothing quiet about this game. It's what football is all about, and I'm pumped.

As for tonight, I'd like to go to the brewing company or something if anyone's down. Just to hang out, nothing crazy.

Oh man, what a great New Year's weekend. With the family still in Tucson, I spent the entire preceding week doing nothing but work on my resume and cook. So New Year's Eve I wasn't really ready or willing to do anything crazy, but it turned out to be a really good night. The party at Ryan's old place was really fun, and the best part was taking the trolley there, which added an adventurous element to the trip while keeping us safe.

Also, the whole UFO thing was quite a trip. Everyone at work this morning is talking about it and I'm glad I walked outside in time to see it that night. Really can't explain it, but it makes for some good conspiracy thinking. Absinthe was the perfect compliment to it.
