Missed The Double

Tara accompanied Brandon and me to the Mazarin/ The Double show at Pitzer College. We overestimated the start time to be 10 o' clock and showed up at 10:30 PST just in time to catch most of Mazarin's set and none of The Double.

Pitzer's campus is much bigger and further away than I expected. Also, not taken into account was the fact that we were in town at Walter's on Second and not near or close to my apartment on Twelfth.

Brandon said Mazarin should have been playing through a PA. I agreed, their sound was more gelled on record and came across as raw and unfiltered. Certain sound problems had to do with the space but others could have been avoided with the assistance of PA.

Speaking of PA, Mazarin are from Philly and their record We're Already There is very good.

After the show Brandon and Tara played interior decorators and fixed my room.

A Great Combination

Next, in what hopefully will be a long list of weird food combinations to try is this experiment I found on the artist Brandon Bird's website.

Brandon Bird is an artist from California that Julia currently crushes, who paints pictures of Chuck Norris, Christopher Walken, and that guy from Law and Order.

More importantly, he has tried Combos on pizza. This sounds amazing. I wonder if they were pizza combos? is that too much?

Donuts and Burgers

Off of Arrow highway, Brandon and I noticed a place called Sunrize Donuts and Burgers and after seeing it I decided I needed to eat there. Not only that, but I joked about how I was going to get my burger on a donut, sliced in half like a bagel. Although I thought about it, I never actually went through with it. Brandon and I went there for the first time a few weeks ago. While their donuts were delicious, the burgers weren't so hot. They tasted like the poorly photographed pictures that accompanied the food descriptions on the menu looked.

So today Julie sends me this article on ESPN.com

about a minor league stadium in Illnois selling the idea I couldn't go through with. Eating a burger on a hamburger is a line I'm not ready to cross yet. But some people are I guess.



Gateway Grizzlies General Manager Tony Funderburg has eaten 10 of these things already.

Krispy Kreme's connection to this story seems interesting after their recent closings of stores on the east coast. I heard they lost a lot of money due to low/no carb diets. I wouldn't have guessed donuts were a phase. But, I doubt the answer to Krispy Kreme being run out of town by fad diets is extremely unhealthy food combinations.

The Oscars

Watching the Oscars tonight and seeing Philip Seymour Hoffman win made me happy. And I felt the same way watching Reese Witherspoon and Joaquin Phoenix in Walk the Line on Friday. Because I've seen so many movies that they've been in.



But not movies that people put value in or had an effect on their careers. I'm really talking about the bad movies like Freeway and Clay Pigeons and My Boyfriend's Back. Because it's after seeing these movies and then seeing that actor up on stage accepting an Oscar, that's when you feel like you know someone.
