I didn’t really know what to write for this, only because the year was blur, but I did get an awesome girlfriend out of it, which is always a plus in my book, right? The latter part of the year was more of a banner success than the first half (which totally sucked, by the way). Anyway, here are some arbitrary lists that you can judge me on (but not really because, to quote the late, great Tupac, “Only God can judge me”).
Favorite burger: Two Bells
During the year, I used my food blog to go eat a bunch of hamburgers with Michelle. After much debate, Two Bells and their gourmet burgers and tip-top service won me over. This bar was also the place where we started working on our current comedy project.
The Castaways
Redefine asked me for my Top 5 records; I gave them 10 (here are the ones they didn't publish):
Polar Bear Club, “Chasing Hamburg”/Heartsounds, “Until we Surrender
Raekwon, “Only Built 4 Cuban Linx II”
David Bazan, “Curse Your Branches”
Owen, “New Leaves”
Sourpatch, “Demo”
Brand New, “Daisy”/Kevin Devine, “Brother’s Blood”/Brian Bonz, “From Sumi to Japan”/Thrice, “Beggars” (they all roll together, so they get a collective spot)
Favorite blogs:
Polar Blog Club
Burger Conquest
Dealbreaker (and not because they posted one of mine, but because it’s genuinely funny)
Scotch and Plaid (R.I.P.)
Look at this Fucking Juggalo
