Dusk Spots

Getting after some July night crawling up here. 

McDonald Theater

Great show by Gillian Welch and David Rawlings last Sunday. I was surprised they stopped in Eugene, seeing as this spot is a little cozier than most. 

Party

Stealing this from the 4Q blog, because it's right on. Hope everyone reading this has a safe 4th of July weekend. I'll be up here in Eugene avoiding sandalwood fragrances and panhandlers. I'm very happy that next weekend Gillian Welch is coming to the McDonald Theater. Really looking forward to it

Essentials

Packed it all up and made the journey to Eugene. The cost of a U-Haul was steep, so I filled the VW with the most important items. The bikes, guitar, and some camping gear are really all I need for now. I guess it's time to start searching my neighborhood for the rich kids' discarded furniture

Midwest II

Visited the parents in Champaign two weeks back. We took a nice drive to St. Louis and got up inside that beast of an arch. 630' to be exact. Beers, delicious food, and windy canoe adventures are a given with my parents

.30-06

Dropping off the firearms with Grandpa Werner before trekking up to Eugene. My trusty .30-06 will have to rest this fall, but it'll see some field time again soon. Good to know it'll be safe in the hands of its original owner. 

Torrey

Took a little early-spring trip down to Torrey last week. Good eating, drinking, and hiking filled the days as we battled high winds and sand storms. After the wind died down, the sunset and grateful dead we encountered was pretty far out.
