Couple Grammes of Soma

Pedro the Lion, has done exactly what I knew it woud. Amazing.

The new Akai album is fantastic.

Secured a house in CR. Nice.

I liked it best how
we took the whole world on
back to back
long knives drawn

Beautiful weather the past two days. I worked in the Hmong groups territory today. Did search work. Found a ton of Hmong speaking people. Fun stuff. Cute kids. It feels like super elite spy training when you learn what stuff is traditional found at a Hmong household and can use that to recognize what houses are likely Hmong prospects. It’s a quick learn. Hanging wooden knives and spirit paper baby. Keep your eyes peeled for the squash too. Bee-hives though, that was a new one.

No man that has put his hand… don’t look back.

The Matsumoto’s dinning room is painted my favorite color blue. Nice.

Went to a show at the 400 Bar Sunday night. Pretty fun. Arcade Fire played there before. I wish I had made that one.

Screen printing promotional posters, now that is D.I.Y.

Let’s stay honest, but kind.

Ada.

So gents? Sew buttons on your underwear.

Frogtown baby, what an awesome name. Lowertown. Ghetto in the sky. Dinkytown etc. That’s the kinda stuff I love about cities. Nick named areas.

So this must be what missing feels like.

MN is nice. I rather enjoy the clean feel of St. Paul.

Nice adventure getting here. Starts on Thursday morning with a missed flight. I missed the cut off time for boarding by about 15 minutes. So I was delayed in until 11:40 am. After that flying went smooth and I arrived in MN around 4:30 pm. Mandy and Kristin and Jereme all picked me up and we crammed my luggage and body into the already full Toyota Corolla. We fit amazingly. Dropped off some luggage at a locals house before hitting the road to Crookston. Crookston came around 12 am.

The car broke down overnight so Jereme and I headed out to walk around the city while the girls waited for the mechanic. While sitting in the only thing that even remotely resembled a cafe Jereme popped out the MacBook and found some Wi-Fi. The clerk looks over at ‘that nice puter’ and informs us that the library, about two blocks away, has wireless interent if we were interested. Jereme informed him that we were using it. Haha, I love Wi-Fi. We headed over to the Express Personnel Services office to sign up for the harvest. Bob quickly informed us that we could not sign up and had to come back on Monday. Mandy called Bob back and informed him we could sign up and we did. Thanks Mandy.

Car still isn’t fixed by the afternoon so we head out to find some food. At least they have a Subway. Now we return home and start the realization that we are currently stuck in this podunk little town. The hunt for a way out ensues and around 8 pm Mandy finds someone that will drive the 2 and a half hours out to pick us up. Nice brother for sure. Wife made fantastic pancakes.

Jereme and I go rent a car Saturday morning so as to be on our way to the cities. Took a detour through Duluth to verify that it is indeed a ‘cool city’ but I left with no actual proof of that, aside from a photo stating such. I tried. Browsed around the Electric Fetus a bit also.

Made into St. Paul by 5 pm. Caught up with Hiromi and Robbie and then headed out to Cindy Iversons apartment to hang Holland’s paintings she is showing at the St. Paul Art Crawl. Nice paintings. Nice apartment. HUGE doors. Went for a nice walk through the city and by the Mississippi. Found lots of high society being released like cattle from the theaters. Nice to have theaters around though.

I guess I’m gonna head out to pick up some stuff from the store soon. I saw blue sky this morning. It had been raining since we landed.

I have neglected to mention that I put up these.

P.S. Yes I happen to be in quite a few.

the sun was cutting atmosphere
every cloudy shadow´s fear
the breeze will blow, they´ll disappear
now in my ear the pressures clear
to think about my fallen tear
if you could see and i could show
close to me because you´d know

So Costa Rica! Can you say BOOOYAAAA!!!!!

Yeah this place is stinking fantastic. I actually got cold on the bus ride down from San Jose. COLD! It was about 65 degrees and totally foggy since we were driving through a Cloud Forest. Scenery is awesome. People are nice. Funny thing though, they speak Spanish, so I have a little bit of trouble talking to them. But they are nice.

I´m so glad people picked us up from the airport. As soon as I walked out I had people speaking perfect English saying “Hey buddy, who are you looking for?” But I´m sure they mean well. Kit Carson picked us up from the bus station in San Isidro, and carted us over to Hotel Zima where we are staying. Nice place. 11 bucks a night too. I like that. Right now this guy is welding some sort of support for an addition they are building. They have a restaurant/lobby/Internet cafe/pool hall/reception desk place. It´s all open air, but very nice. Looks like rain right now. Should be pleasant. Alright I guess that´s about it. Oh wait yeah one more thing.

I LIVE IN COSTA RICA!!!!!!!!!!!!! haha, and if you don´t believe me then why am I leaving stuff here? Man this has been a longtime coming.
