Ryan Gryder

Ryan Gryder taught me as much about playing bass as any bass teacher ever did. He was the first drummer I played with who asked questions about the bass parts and made sure we locked in together. When he joined the band in 1999, he was 30 and we were all 19 or younger. He didn't play with us for very long.

Subbing

I substituted for a health class in these trailers once. We got through the lesson with lots of time to spare so I let the kids go outside and run around. That's why they called me the "fun sub." I'm sure if any of the administrators had found out about that, they'd call me something else.

Modern Atelier

This picture was published in Richmond Magazine last year as part of a story about Amy George's Modern Atelier homemade perfume business. She sells alot so it must be good, but I have to take her word for it because I can't smell.

Partied Out

Reservations about posting this photo:
1) I don't know this girl.. is it creepy to put a picture of her on my blog?
2) I wish there were more people in the foreground so it really felt like someone at a party. The room was pretty crowded, but it doesn't look like it here.
3) Those funny artifacts and blurs that are the result of strobe lights in the room.
Obviously I posted it anyway.

My third roommate, who moved out a while ago, came back yesterday to get all his stuff so now I have an empty living room and kitchen. Ohhhh - it's so frustrating.
