Summer Photos
I’ve posted a backlog of 20 photos from July here which include a trip to Northwest Trek and daylight 4th of July celebrations on our street.
Amusingly, the same bear photo from 2011 is here.
Halloween Photos
A trip through the earthquake exhibit at the California Academy of Sciences sparked Will into wanting to be a Seismologist, to counter Andrew’s insistence on being a Paleontologist. Yeah. (=
Full set here, which includes ONE BONUS PHOTO!

1. A card game they received for their birthday.
2. They are not.
3. He did not. (We’ve attempted to explain how Daddy sometimes has to work right after dinner doing production pushes… apparently at least some of it stuck.)
4. (While swinging around a glow stick in his room with the lights off.)

Oh, hey there. Fancy seeing you around. It’s been a while.
I’ll be posting photos from our 2012 London Olympics trip (sans kids!) in the next few days, but I figured I’d throw up this panorama of the Olympic Stadium from row 9 in the meantime.

Things I Saw at the Excision Concert Tonight
- A guy over 7 feet tall and a girl under 3 feet tall (within 10 feet of each other at one point)
- Some kind of large plumbing problem which spilled water all over the left side of the venue and closed down the bathrooms for over an hour
- The volume not being nearly loud enough for the openers (and most likely illegally loud for Excision)
- Lucky Date with a solid set
- Liquid Stranger not captivating the crowd for the majority of his set, which didn’t have much flow and way too many quiet/dead spaces
- The lighting dude playing a game of Space Invaders on the lighting control board(!) during Liquid Stranger’s set
- Two guys dry humping a girl so hard that they had to carry her out to get some air
- The ridiculous 100k watt PK sound system in that relatively small venue… I wasn’t sure if it was going to burst my eardrums or stop my heart first. The wind from the bass was nuts.
- Getting home at 2am, after Taco Bell had closed… no forthmeal tonight.
