The inspiration of Twin Peaks is HUGE, especially here in the PNW. I’m certainly not bringing anything new to the realm, not anything that a million tourists haven’t snapped. But that sweet [and bizarre] cafe + delicious cherry pie bring me great joy, and there’s nothing I love like sharing my favorite things....

SEA to PDX
What an incredible weekend. From Damien’s sold out show with the Robinsons + Jen Wood on Friday to a Sunday remembering Vic Chesnutt, there was music + food + joy + dear friends throughout. I could only capture so much of it, given the whirlwind that it was. Here’s a few bits...
INSPIRATION. [to the max.]
Some days are glorious because you expect them to be. A wedding, a birth, a promotion, a big event. Then there are the do-nothing days that sucker punch you with their goodness. Today was not shaping up to be a stellar day. Too many errands, random knee pain making me question...
Photo date: Vashon
Someday I’ll retreat from Seattle proper to a little nook on Vashon. Until then, I’ll take day trips to sustain me.
Yesterday’s photo party with Dianna; film to come at a later date.
Refresh.
A week ago today, I turned 30. If I’d had any concerns about approaching this landmark age, the past 7 days have swept them away. I’ve had a lot of fun, a lot of time with close friends + family, some terribly indulgent delicious food, and best of all, a host of new projects and...
New Guard IV; one of the best nights I’ve ever had
That’s a mouthful of a post title, I know. But last night was like my own little miracle. Full to the brim with lessons in the value of community, family, determination, hard work, laughter, and star anise cake.
Our New Guard dinners are still an unexpected gift to me. From a...
Wish fulfillment
January is proving to be quite kind. Friday night Hoquiam performed at the Old Firehouse in Redmond, the birthplace of many a band. And many a music lover, community activist, and well rounded human for those who spent their teenage years there. Whitney Ballen celebrated the release of her latest cassette tape,...
Contrast
Last week City Arts magazine hosted a show at the Triple Door. With an usual format + a killer lineup, we were honored to have Damien be invited to join. Plus, the Triple Door? Never pass up a chance to spend time there. Never pass up their Triple Split with local...
In all forms
Home has so many meanings now. On tour, ‘home’ is whatever hotel we have that evening. When in Seattle any number of addresses qualify. Mainly it means where ever I find Damien, and where we find our family + friends.
We started 2010 with some of our favorite humans - New...
Adrienne + Ryan
My sweetest AJ. Where to begin? The girl is fun-loving, brilliant, impeccably dressed, and shockingly attractive. When she moved home to Seattle with her [then boyfriend, now fiance] Ryan, I knew she’d found the perfect match. He’s all of the above - possibly even more fun to run around town with...
