today has been a great day!

first, the trip to the bmv that i thought would take forever didn't take any time at all, because i didn't actually go to the bmv; instead, i went to the title office next door, where i was served immediately. cool.

also, a friend of mine from a few years back (circa late 90s, i think) got in touch with me. rene sent me a myspace message that started like this: "waaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaazzzzzzzzzzz up man - i've been searching the whole fucking internet for you." awesome. he lives in berlin now, which is great -- i think i'll use that as an excuse for my first out-of-country trip. maybe next year some time.

plus, i found out today that i don't have to get tickets to see negativland in chicago, as they're playing at the southgate house just a few days later. i'm very excited, and i've already decided to save the allotted gas money and spend it at their merch booth.

i'm hitting karaoke tonight at the poison room, hosted by sean p. hafer, of karaoke fantastic.
good times.

UPDATE:
oh yeah! i forgot to mention that my review of the new James Kochalka Superstar cd is up on I See Sound. click: James Kochalka Superstar's Spread Your Evil Wings and Fly.
