I plan on sleeping in a lot.

I wanted to recap on the awesomness of ‘08 through my eyes without pictures before I rolled out:

1. I am engaged to the most amazing girl I have ever met in my life.

2. Photos I’ve taken for magazines, photos I’ve taken that’ve turned up as album covers, photos I’ve taken that’ve ended up on NPR sites without my permission - it has all happened this year. That’s pretty rad.

3. Vigil Games. The greatest studio I’ve ever been a part of. Fin.

4. Mohawk + Car Stereo (Wars) + Austinist + Alison Narro + Transmission Entertainment = you have all been so amazingly supportive in Austin it almost begs me to puke blood from my pores in order to thank y’all for such kind words and accolades.

5. Black Eyed Vermillion - you guys are badass.

6. Economic collapse - can my friends finally divorce themselves from their debts and make amazing things?

7. White Denim + Til We’re Blue or Destroy = keep doing amazing things

My one regret of ‘08

1. Dan, Baron, Dave, Adam, Laurel, Matt S, Gen, Cristina V, I haven’t forgotten about you, I am just the worst cell phone caller backer ever.

I’m 99% sure 4 people read this blog, but in full disclosure to them I am going to be starting a new project with my best friend Dan next year. Once a week you’ll find a handwritten note from me to him posted on alrightdan.com

I have to note for the record that I am the most candid with my fiance and Dan and I apologize in advance for any feelings that might or might not get hurt. My promise with these notes is to be as open and honest as possible.

To close, my favorite live band photo I took of 2008; Dark Meat @ Mohawk was one of the greatest shows I’ve ever seen and I am biased and I fully accept that.

We took a series of photos in my back yard on the Saturday of SXSW just for the sure fun of taking photos. I had no clue they’d end up as major promotional material let alone the cover to their upcoming album. For that alone Sarah and Cindy get a resounding FUCK YEAH.

ps - to recap the night we met in Tempe I’ll repost this little ditty
