Five Leaves Left — Vagabond Appetite

Five-ish years later I've gotten around to dusting off the half-built Model T that's sat dormant under the dropcloth in the garage. Since the last time I wrote I've: Lived in two apartments in California and a house in Oregon. Released a couple EPs with a band that hasn't played a show in 4 years. Started a job at Chrome Industries that's enabled me to interview artists, cyclists, photographers and skateboarders.

Most importantly, however, my crowning achievement in the last five years has most assuredly been a one week span in which I was featured on the Jumbotron at not one but two separate Oakland A's games. Once as a part of a group and once singing "Take Me Out to the Ballgame" flanked by the inflatable heads of Ricky Henderson and Dennis Eckersley. I'm not sure how much karma I had to burn for that one but no matter what ills befall me in the future, they will pale in comparison to the glory of shouting, "PEA-NUTS AND CRACK-ER-JACKS" next to Eck's giant, inflatable mustache.

Anyhow, this is mostly going to be a spot for me to ramble about things I remember, things I don't remember and things I'd like to remember if I could only fix that damn time machine.
