Warmest Regards

Remember last saturday? Andy and Rebecca (dear friends and downstairs neighbors) got married. I was honored to be there, and I'm truly excited for these two. Next weekend Jeanette Feddes and Joel Bylsma get hitched, and the weekend following will be Melissa Keeley's wedding. Maybe August is the new June?

And now a letter to our friend the weather:

Dear the weather,

You are suppose to thunderstorm tomorrow. Although thunderstorms are one of your best attributes, it would be preferable if this did not in fact happen between the hours of 2pm and 10pm tomorrow (9.27.05), as my friends are getting married in a park (outdoors).

yours truly,
Ryan

phil, josh, matt, charlie and I were recently in the Pacific Northwest. The main intention of the trip was to meet and talk with artists, groups, music labels, artist run spaces. we spent a few days in portland, a few in anacortes, a few in vancouver bc, and then a few more in portland.

I can't tell you how good it felt to ride the Greyhound bus 53 hours through nebraska, idaho, colorado (and other various states), through the mountains and to our final destination where we slept like babies.

it was a beautiful trip, with many stories to be told, but for now- this is a picture of the Department of Safety in Anacortes washington. The final show of What the Heck Fest was there (P:ano, The Poison Dart, and Watery Graves are now bands that I listen to regularly). [someday i'll know how to have links and popup pictures maybe]. So- this is a picture from that show, outside DOS. Thanks.
