A bit late I’ll admit, but tons of thanks nonetheless to both wonderful mothers who came to our rescue in Portland a couple weeks back to organize, paint, and spread joy. You two are the best! (ps. better pictures were taken, but not with my camera. dang.)

Super congrats to Hannah Elvrum and Barry Miller for getting hitched. The ceremony/reception was one of the very best that I’ve ever gone to. And I’m clocking in at 60+ weddings over the past 4 years or so. It helps that the Elvrums have a flat-out wonderful piece of property to hold an event like this. Quite frankly, that has much more to do with the hard work Janet and Flip (Filip?, I don’t think I’ve ever written his nickname before…) have put in over the years. They have made their home one of the most friendly and welcoming places I have had the pleasure of spending time. Every time I turn the corner into their driveway, I think to myself “You know, I’m REALLY glad to be here.” Stacey and I will consider ourselves amazingly lucky if we can ever create a space with the same warm feel to it. Hannah and Barry (and all the family members and friends) did a great job putting everything together. The event was very classy, yet low key and unstressful. You were welcome in a suit and you were welcome in flip-flops. Nicole and Maggie from Adrift provided a great meal, Tim Moffet handled creation of the “signature cocktail” mojitos all night, and HB wisely followed our lead for starting a successful marriage and had Spoonshine providing the dance grooves. There are a lot of couples who spend tens of thousands of dollars (even hundreds of thousands of dollars) more and can’t even come close to creating something as special as Hannah and Barry did. Well done you two. All the best from us. Filed under: Friends Comments: 4 Comments |

Though he has broken his computer and told it not to display Brothersroot.com, we wish him a happy birthday anyway. And a safe journey across the country. Hope that hippie van doesn’t break down. Filed under: Family Comments: 4 Comments |

Did I mention that I went to a punk show?

So this is a video I recorded at the 2005 Oyster Run. I got it halfway edited, then kind of dropped the ball. Partially because my buddy Knut Bell (the guy singing) went far crazier than usual and pretty much disappeared, but mostly because I’m lazy and disorganized. The audio is an unmixed track that was being recorded at the show for a, never released, live album combined with the audio straight from the camera (to get some crowd noise). A properly mixed/mastered audio recording would have eliminated the need for the up/down audio from the camera and a 2nd camera would have given me a lot more video options when editing, but you work with what you’ve got. Overall, not bad. Older camera, so no HD. But larger version is here. Filed under: Cool Kid Music and Photo/Video/Film Comments: 2 Comments |

No, Jack isn’t always the perfect sweetheart we make him out to be. In fact, sometimes he is very annoying. Though, to be fair, he is pretty cute even when he is being annoying. So that’s something. But at least we know he is a Root boy. When he is upset, he opens his big mouth and tells everyone all about it. Click here for full HD version and whatnot.

Due to the big move, birthday wishes are a little behind schedule. But I wanted to wish a huge Happy Belated-Birthday to two of BR’s favorites. Lotsa love to Benzo & Leah!

A house, a masters degree, a white collar management position, the kid has it all these days. Happy Birthday Lil’ Brudder. Yes, a recycled joke. But at least I linked to a different Lil Brudder cartoon than was previously linked to. Filed under: Family Comments: 7 Comments |

A few years back I found a set of checks from a company called the Cheque Republic (chequerepublic.com I think was the website). The checks were irreverent designs that played up the fact that hard working people were writing checks to pay for all of life’s little expenses. “Wage Slave” “Pound O’ My Flesh” & “Come and Take It” are the three that I remember. I wanted a set of the Wage Slave ones. But the fact was that I had ordered a crate of regular checks from my bank not long before I saw them, so it seemed like kind of a waste to buy more. Plus, as a freelance photographer, I was really more of a “self promotion whore” than a true “wage slave”. We finally finished off the checks I had ordered back in 2001 a month or two ago, and now with my current job, I really am a “wage slave”. So I figured it was legit for me to order a set of them. But when I went to look for the Chequerepublic, they had gone out of business. So I recreated the Wage Slave design as best I could remember and ordered them from a custom check design. Plus, I used a dollar sign in place of the letter “s”, which I thought was pretty clever and original. Replacing letters with symbols, who would have thunk it! A lot of work for something that we never use these days. I’m guessing that these 250 checks will last us for a long time at the rate we write them.
