A little diddy

Fadda's Day

Hello All,

Been a little hiatus from the blog the last few weeks. Last 2 Sundays have been kinda crazy. Not too much new to report over here. Had a band practice Saturday, went pretty well, should be a solid show. Celebrated Jeremy's b day on Sat. night and me and Max did some shopping Sunday at the farmers market. Nothing too good out there yet.

** Random thoughts ****

I have been enjoying the world cup. Granted the U.S. game was poorly officiated and the jerk on the radio gave me the score of the game about an hour before I watched it, but that being said it was still pretty exciting. The New Zealand Italy game was about the most exciting tie I have ever seen too, really good game. I'll have to give the Premier League a shot when it starts up.

How come ladies are such jerks? Whenever I go biking and pass a dude 70% of the time I'm going to get a hi or nod. Passing the ladies? Probably about %40. And passing a fellow cycler, about 95%, gotta love the biker code.

Well, those are my thoughts for the week, here are some pics below. Maybe a tune for you later too. ** Update- no tune tonight, maybe tomorrow?



Breakfast at IHOP. Does anything beat bfast at the hop, i don't think so.

Max & Taylor
Tractor ride with Jeff
Goofing around with Sara.

Well Alright, It's Okay

Greetings readers, busy times for the Strehlo fam this last couple weeks, Memorial Day, birthdays, parties, concerts, etc. Here's some pics from the last weekend. Last night we went to She & Him at First Ave with Jerry & Sara. Good times. They were all business, just whipping through their songs. Concert was excellent, didn't love their encore selection but other than that it was very solid. We did see a girl going barefoot in first ave, that was disgusting. Today we are off to celebrate Lars' b day at famous daves, mmmmmm famous daves.

Got some other big news, looks like the Northernmost Pilots are going to be the last act to perform at the big TomTEN jam this year. Wow, what an honor. Basically in the last 4 years I have went from not playing music at all to jamming every week. Special thanks to the Wrenshall crew for putting this Dingwop together and getting me back to rocking out. Should be great times, Wayne made a pretty cool looking flyer too, you'll have to check out his site.

Onto the Pics!!!


Pooltime, Max loves it. Should be a good way to have some fun and get some rays this summer.

Reading time at the Larsons.
Catching up with his old friends on Thomas Ave.
Taking a break at Nikki's grad party. He was a maniac.
Sam's tequila drink at Bario. Very tasty, I could've chugged the whole thing. I decided to eat one of the cherries in the drink. Wow, that baby was potent.
Potato Sopes.
Minneapolis, turned out to be a nice night. I went a little picture crazy. I won't bore you with the other ones though.
Jerry in front of First Ave. They are in the process of repainting the stars on the outside. Rumor is there redoing the bathrooms and the restaurant. Yep you heard it right restaurant, I guess they will be selling more than hot dogs and nachos, maybe some Pizza is next!

Decided to get a brew and I wanted something a little bigger than the 12 oz.er. I didn't realize this baby was a pint + 8 oz. Quite a mammoth drink. I was basically lugging around a champagne bottle.





Here is the clip of the week, couldn't find a great live one, so this will do. Everyone is pretty subdued here. The older rhythm guitar player in the background was sweet at the concert. He had good energy rocking out, I dug him.
