Brian, Mike, Kenny, and Aaron are in a band. The band has been through several name changes, and none of them have really felt right yet, but right now they go by “Driftwood” (after the Travis song?) Last week they played a Cinco de Mayo gig at Rob Light’s Queen Anne pad, and were joined by my sexy roommate on a couple of songs (including a really nice cover of Rilo Kiley‘s “Execution of all Things”). Mike recorded the show, so I’ll pester Kenny to make sure he posts a few mp3s so you can check them out.
Check out the photos here.

Avalon.
I just got a shout-out from Rob; I guess that means I should start posting Avalon content on a more consistent basis. :) More coming soon.

KW and I had planned to go to Australia and New Zealand this December, because we will have enough frequent flyer miles to do so after this coming weekend’s trip to the Bay Area. However, Kenny called Continental this morning, and there is no more availability for flights to Sydney or Auckland — they apparently become available 338 days in advance, and they go fast. Fortunately we can’t really kick ourselves for not being on the ball here, since we didn’t have enough miles in time anyway. :)
We’re still casually looking into getting tickets without miles, but it turns out they’re a bit spendy. In the meantime, we’ve also started thinking about other vacation spots. The big contenders right now are Thailand and Argentina/Chile/Easter Island. I’m compiling a bit of information about each of these choices, and I’ll post some of it after I get it all formatted and pretty.
This week, Texas lawmakers tackled the controversial issue of sexy cheerleading.
Representative Al Edwards, who introduced the bill, does not explicitly define sexy cheerleading but offers the following guidance:
“Any adult that’s been involved with sex in their lives, they know it when they see it,†he said.
I’m so glad they’ve cleared that one up.
Update 05/12/2005: Sometimes sarcasm is difficult to detect in writing. In case the poor commenter was confused, I’m not actually in favor of this type of legislation…

I was at the gym last night, rocking out to Come Out Clean (which turns out to be a really good gym song, especially if you turn it up loud enough), and something occurred to me: I don’t think I’ve used the new blog to complain about Jump, Little Children never coming to the West Coast, which is really crazy, considering that I used to do so regularly on the old blog.
So this seems as good a time as any to start. Come on, guys. I can’t keep coincidentally planning trips to Boston when you happen to be there. You have to put a little effort into this relationship too. I told you I’d travel to California to see you, but you need to meet me part way.
