First day of work in SF
Possibly the last good bagel I will ever have. Bless you NY bagel. (Taken with instagram)

Oh how I’ll miss New York for spontaneous things like this on a beautiful day.

Not sure what to write, but I’ve been really wanting to get some thoughts down for a long time now. I guess what I need to say is that my life is going to be changing pretty drastically when I move back to California in 8 days. That’ll hopefully commence the realization process.

Most memorable live sets
I love live music! Dare I say, live shows are the best things since sliced bread?
I didn’t go to many shows while I lived in California due to the fact that most shows were in San Francisco and I left the Bay Area right after high school and haven’t been back since. I would probably drop into a 1-3 shows a year during my high school and college days. However, since I’ve been in New York my love for live music is insatiable—I find myself going to 10-15 a year.
There’s nothing like being in a crowd of people who are sharing similar emotions and love for music.
A list of some memorable sets:
1. Arcade Fire - Berkeley 2007
2. The Hives - San Francisco 2002
3. Foo Fighters - Mountain View 2003
4. Live 105’s Not So Silent Night - San Jose 2001
5. Wilco - Oakland 2012
6. My Morning Jacket - Oakland 2011 (find me at 14:15 in the video below)
7. Phoenix/Kid Cudi - New York 2009 (find the side of my head at 1:58 next to the singer)
8. Black Keys - New York 2011
9. Black Sabbath - Mountain View 2003
10. Bright Eyes - Davis 2005
Bonus: While I have seen Wilco live, this recording of At Least What’s What You Said never fails to force my tear ducts to start working. Listen closely to the guy in the crowd who yells “Break it down!” at the 1:46 mark—that’s when my eyes betray me.
Amazing cult. Amazing views. (Taken with instagram)
