We Are Scientists, Fiery Furnaces and..... ELVIS COSTELLO!

Ok,

It's been YEARS. I would like to know how you all are. Please e-mail me at NicholasWSnyder@Gmail.com.

So, over the last week I've been very very busy. As you know, caricaturing is going strong and I have a pretty great grasp on all its aspects (resemblance, line consistency and of course, the dreaded.... AIRBRUSH.... woof.) It's so much fun and I love every moment. I am so F-ing glad, its nuts. I love it. Anyway, In addition to that, the Hoffman internship is going well. I love that as well, but in a different way. I see it as a necessary stepping stone, but some of the tasks can be tremendously boring. Nevertheless, I'm making some amazing contacts and great friends.

I saw the We Are Scientists/Fiery Furnaces show last Friday. What have I to say? .... Well, I bought a WaS shirt. I Loved WaS' set. It was more rock and roll, whereas FF attempted to open the gates of Hell thru their sound. WELL, thats a bit of a stretch, but their sound WAS unique and I was very entertained. They constantly changed drumbeats, had a female lead singer Linda Blair look-alike with super high white jeans and a thick xenia Warrior Princess bangs. She was pretty hot. lol, so I had a good time. AND got to watch One Flew Over the Cuckoo's Nest before and betwingst sets.

THEN, days go by, the sun shines, sets, God unleashes a murderous storm upon my Honda civic, i make some cash drawing people, see a few flicks, listen to Paul McCartney and Wings, sleep again, eat something... then, ATTEND..... Elvis Costello!

Yes, yes, yes. The king of awesomeness. Alison, Veronica, Radio Radio, Watching the Detectives Elvis. It was an truly amazing show. He played for 3 hours with his band the Imposters and veteran musician and rock and roll hall of fame inductee Allen Toussaint on the piano! It was such a surprisingly great show. My mom and I bought tickets the day before on kind of a spur of the moment thing.... and that was Awesome. I can't say enough about his amazing show. He played plenty of old stuff and also introduced us to his newest 4 1/2 o/o 5 Allmusic.com album "The River in Reverse". It was truly a great night.

THEN,

I went rock climbing with Ed and I failed. I didn't quite make it up the rock so to speak... yeah, well, better luck next time...

Well, I'm off to the grandparent's lake Abode for the weekend, have a great 4th of July!
