I knew this day was going to suck as soon as I opened my eyes this morning. I wish I had the option to call out of work and just not go anywhere. I get to work and a coworker has created an extra hour and a half of work for me thinking he’s doing me a favor and this, of course, is after I have to do a half hour of work that another coworker was supposed to do before the store even opened but...

“Sometimes I was grateful because I knew I ought to be, sometimes because I wanted to be, and sometimes a sweet thankfulness came to me on its own, like a singing from somewhere out in the dark. I was grateful because I knew, even in my fear and grief, that my life had been filled with gifts.”

Two men claimed to have captured Bigfoot on film on this date in 1967.

The Front Bottoms are definitely a name that you’ll be hearing more of in the future, so be sure to check out their album and to read up on the...
“In my experience the absolute BEST way to learn about Seattle and see a great slice of local culture is to stop by the Comet Tavern on your first night in town, get shitfaced drunk, and go home with a bike messenger. Strike up a conversation with his squat-mates in the morning over cigarettes and day-old banana bread, and soon you’ll be whisked away on an anarcho-Marxist pedaling...
“Home is a strange concept, one that I have meditated upon from a very young age. I am a true believer in being proud of where you come from. If my travels have taught me anything it’s that places, like people, are a combination of flawed and beautiful, but most are worthy of one’s time, exploration, forgiveness and defense. No place is perfect, but then again, what truly...

Hungover from about a dozen one-on-one beer pong matches the night before.
The Format/ The Honorary Title/ Limbeck/ Steel Train
