Hello Dear Readers,
Did you have a good weekend? Did you see any shows? I played a Valentine's show at The Waypost (as Meyercord) where Woodwinds (featuring Megan of Jared Mees and the Grown Children) played their first show ever. It was pretty fun. For their last number they all put on dark sun glasses and covered Roy Orbisons "Anything you want". Sam Cooper (also of Jared Mees and the Grown Children) palyed a set too. I was just blown away. He is so good. He plays in like a million bands because he can play like any instrument. Which means his solo shows are rare-ish and should be charished. Then Sunday there were some freat shows like Horse Featers (featuring Sam Cooper) and The Old Beleivers at Doug Fir and Alela Diane at Holocene, but I chose to see my friend's band Make Nice (FREE shows with your friends is where its at). It was pretty cool because at that show I ran into a lot of other people from bands. Represented was David Kyle (Secret Codes), Tom from Dear Ether, Johnny from New Century Schoolbook, and Matt Sheey. I had to leave before Patterns played because my ride wanted to leave. Oh wells, next time. In the mean time, you should maybe check these shows out.

Tbanks for the mention! Say hi if you're at Valentine's tonight. I sing in Greenladies.
I love Valentines. When I start going to shows again I wanna go there all of the time.
I had a good weekend. Carla and Poncho have been playing with mice inside of the house. It's the battle of the cuteness. It ends in death though. The squeaking pulls at my heart strings. Something about the kitties and mice being so cute... They are both so cute. How do I chose what is the right thing to do? End Poncho and Carla's totally awesome good time? Or catch the mouse, probably give it a heart attack and then throw it out in the cold? Adam grabbed me by the shoulders and said "Do I need to make you watch The Lion King again?".
Mike -- I was at Valentine's but I was hanging out with David Kyle. If I would have read this comment before, I would have said "Hi".
Goldie -- Ha ha.
