Hey Andy

Boy, and anyone else still checking this blog multiple times a day for entertainment, yet never posting anything on it yourselves,

Here are a few gems I've found as of late:

Youtube:
#1 Winner Takes Steve - a Jared Hess short made while he was at BYU.
#2 Sigur Ros's music videos for "hoppipolla" and "glosoli"
#3 Choose your own adventure web cam adventure (something to that effect, you'll see about 15 related videos of this epic saga)

Website:

pandora.com-
you type in a band you like and it creates basically a radio station/play list that is full of music related to the style of the band you selected. Genious.

Music:

Vyvienne Long-

Chellist (sp?) for Damien Rice. Go to Damien Rice's myspace page and then click on the link to her page (otherwise her music won't load for some reason). Awesome. "They're Not Waving" is a masterpiece. John Hendricks and I are working on an all-percussion rendition of her rendition of "Come together." It's gonna be sweet.

Copeland-

I just bought a cd at circuit city of copeland's besides, previously unreleased tracks, and remixes. Pretty interesting. It's growing on me and has some definite gems.

The Sego Music and Art festival will be in Provo this weekend. You should come play.

Food-

Cosco 36 count dinner rolls, Pre-sliced pepper jack cheese, juicy roast beef. Mmmm.

In other news:

As I mentioned to you, we filmed a one-shot (one continuous shot, no breaks or post production) horror film sequence in a mansion near point of the mountain. We had a pretty awesome child actor, two adult actors who got really into their roles (the guy even inserted a curse word because he thought that's how he'd really react to the situation) and the back of my head wearing the clown mask I bought in Tiajuana made it's debut. Once we have an online version I'll let you know so you can check it out.

I also filmed the mass production of phonebooks in a HUGE factory in Springville for my documentary project. That was interesting and challenging.

We are now working on pitching ideas and script writing and it is amazing how some people in the major just aren't very creative when it comes to humorous stories or adaptations of stories. It's been fun to shock some of them with our carefully crafted Idahoan perspective.

I've been playing with John Hendricks, working on some of his wrap stuff. It sounds intense through the crate base amp (keyboard/drum combo). I also picked up where I left off with the harpist and that is looking better and better. We plan to play at some open mics in the next couple of weeks to get the word out and try to impress the venue owners into letting us open for somebody. I played two weeks ago and recieved lots of positive feedback. Things are looking good musically.

Andy, please follow the above outline and inform me of your "peak experiences" (coach neil and the loons?) Also any suggestions for band names or rap identities (ex. "Spinal Crackah")

Much love,
Dusty

Squirrel Relocator

Dear associates,

I recall hearing that some of you who live/lived in Pocatello have had some strange interactions with squirrels. I found this one entertaining.

Moment of Truth: Dawg or Commy

An important moment has arisen. One of decision and consequence.

In a matter of days, Jason Hal Cramer will tie the knot and become Mr. Jason Hal Cramer.

A joyous day indeed.

While it will be a day of celebration for Space Station Jason, it will be the moment of truth for one Andrew Farrer. We will see where the loyalty of this boy stands.

And so I ask: WILL ANDY REPRESENT AT THE WEDDING OF JASON HAL CRAMER... OR... IS ANDY A COMMUNIST?

There is no gray zone in this decision. One or the other.

I invite each of you to recall and post some of the special moments shared between these two (chasing cars, eat the sock, hurricane bob, etc.), in order to reawaken Andy's concience and help him realize where his loyalty really stands.

farewell

to all my beloved soldiers:
i'm leaving for moscow... catch ya later sucka fishes.

yours tenderly,
markus

Hidden Rooms

Ever since I was a young boy reading Goosebumps books I have dreamed of uncovering a secret room hidden somewhere in my house. Every house I've live in so far has been fairly modern with all areas of the house being utilized and open. Last night this all changed.
At the beginning of this month I moved in to a large house in an older area of Boise. There is one bedroom in this house that has some unusual storage area. Example one, this box like compartment built into the wall:
Last night we discovered that this box can be removed reveling a secret room:

The walls of this room are lined with dust this old Revlon ad:
We also found a bunch of old magazines from the 1940's which contained some interesting ads:
Then, on the other side of the room, there is another storage area which happens to contain a working sink:
If you notice to the bottom left of the sink there is a small crawl space that leads to another strange dusty room:
That room is completely lined with this advertisement:
It was a rather short excursion last night because we were not prepared for all the dust and other stuff that shouldn't be breathed in. So there will be another excavation sometime soon this week.

holy cow are you seeing this

hello world... i am a little worried to here that matt has a new blog! I would like you to know that i am doing pretty well i think about letting my friends move on, but if you start doing it on purpose i am gonna lose it! On to greater news Micheal Phelps has played an important role i think in all our lives, i think its pretty amazing but sadly you know you are beginning to emulate and idolize someone way to much when you think they look like people. I mean c'mon it can't just be me, right?

its happening...the board is set the pieces are moving

The day superman died must have been a dark day in the lives of all those who depended on him. what if freedom never would have come to the united states. what if bologna didnt have a first name... dont get me wrong i never doubted these things until now my friends. Superman may have died but he came back... freedom is still here though its not free, and oscor meyer never lets kids down! Then again superman never sold his fortress of solitude! i do not live and the same place. my fortress along with my chariot of old (the minivan) are all relics. i cant go on i have become boring. everything will change everything has changed. thats all i have left
