The coffee shop I am sitting at is playing the Album Leaf right now, that's awesome. Pictures.

Last Monday I saw A Winged Victory for the Sullen which wasn't as good as Olafur but probably better than Eluvium. I am not even sure if it is cool of me to compare those artists against each other but I just did.

The next day, Annie and I went to a talk about design by the lead designer of Mint. After this talk, I added a new rule to my list: "Don't trust a guy wearing an Armani t-shirt (specifically, don't take design advice from him)."
After the talk, Ben, Annie and I got burgers at Super Duper, then proceeded to walk up the Nob. But what is a walk home in the cold without coffee? And since Blue Bottle closes early, there is only one choice. What you see above is Ben's first Pumpkin Spice Latte.

Later that night Annie and I saw Grand Archives and I was, once again, faced with the Ulimate Struggle. After their set I went up and (restrainfully) said "Hey man, I really appreciate what you do! I had a hard time now yelling out Carissa's Wierd song titles." He was super appreciative, introduced himself then asked my name.
"My name is Jeff, I don't do meth."
The venue was approximately the size of Soma's side stage and it was, for the most part, empty. I had always assumed that Grand Archives was considerably more popular than they actually are, which made the concert kind of awkward (as you can see, there were 0 people in front of us). I felt so bad that such a talented and hardworking band doesn't have more of a following.
Sorry for the abrupt ending, here is a video that is so perfectly me:

I'd never thought I'd see a tech deck video of that quality before.

I thought that was you in the video until I saw the bracelet at the very end. Up until then it looked like a paper bracelet that you would have on.
