The Draft

The Draft + Dead to Me + The Gaslight Anthem = RADNESS!

The Draft
The Draft played the Marquis in Denver last night with Dead to Me and The Gaslight Anthem. Despite the bands trying to cope with the Mile High altitude (nothing new there), it was a great show! Dead to Me and the Gaslight Anthem were not messing around, they played hard and fast and rocked my face in. Being a long time HWM whore, I was eager to see The Draft take the stage. As always they didn’t disappoint, they played a great set and had a lot of energy. The Draft kicks my ass and if you don’t agree they are the greatest band in the world, I will fight you!

Yeah it’s a startup

This is where we are currently working at the moment. Four guys crammed around one little conference table, until the office build out is complete. You gotta love startups!

It’s About Time

Sunday, September 30, 2007

It’s taken me forever to finally get around to it, but this site is finally up!

There are still lots of things I have in planned for this site, but the hardest part is over now. It’s kind of funny how I design and build websites on a daily basis, but when it comes to putting together a simple site for myself it takes me 4 months. Oh well, at least it’s finally getting going. Hopefully I can get this one all wrapped up before another 4 months pass me by.

I designed this site on a Mac. Wrote the XHTML and CSS using BBEdit TextMate. I use ExpressionEngine for my CMS because it rocks my face in and I host it all at Dreamhost because they are righteous.
