2006 - my year end music + film wrap up i didn't properly ring in the new year the way i usually do because the circuitboard on my work computer is fried and believe it or not, i don't spend as much time in front of the computer at home as i once did. the first two weeks of 2007 have been awesome. i've played pop5 twice now and turned dan and zachary onto phase 10. i went to the brookfield zoo with james. i celebrated ginny's bday at rudy's taste/zakopane. i ate bbq four times in one week (yes, i know it's got to stop but fat willy's rib shack has a great pulled chicken bbq sandwich) with four different people (zachary + ginny, james, lauren, and josh miller). i finished reading ALTERNADAD (manda + ryan, i suggest you read this since you'll be alternaparents soon enough) and today i started reading the 33 1/3 neutral milk hotel biography. this past weekend i saw my friends and amazing musicians, the brother kite, play a successful show at the note and since they didn't have a show yesterday, they stayed with me another night and i got to show them chicago. jon and andrea had their first ever real tacos. pat and mark and their friend dave had fun sliding on the ice in front of millenium's park fountains (which i should probably know the proper name of since i am a chicagoan but i don't). mark bought a stack of cds but i think mark spent the most money on music since he went to three more stores than we did (and we went to a bunch). we ended our hang with a dinner at the duke of perth. so much money was spent that zachary and i are imposing a cheap eats (ramen) menu on ourselves. anyways, onwards, here is my best of 2006: bands + films...
