The retreat ended up being a relaxing, albeit short weekend in Maine. The weather stayed slightly overcast but spirits were high and I had an interesting time with the brothers.
Last week I attended a jazz night at the Ryles Jazz club in Cambridge. Amid a crowd of Kiira’s family and friends I met some fascinating characters, including an older man who walked in, had a beer, told a wildly inappropriate yet hilarious joke, and left the club.
Next week is going to be another grueling crawl through college, but OK Go is playing on Thursday at Wellesley followed by Cake and Matt Pond PA at MIT on Friday.
Meanwhile I’m trying to finalize summer plans in Boston. I have a job through MIT’s Information Services and Technology department but I’m looking into working at the Media Lab for a little spice to the summer months. Networking appears to be the name of the game.
I’d like to begin writing again, but with all the work this semester it’s been all but impossible to find the time to jot down a few thoughts. After finals I’m returning to WV to live in semi-solitude for a month. A welcome break, indeed.

Hey! I'm glad you'll be here for a while, it'll be good to see you around. Do you think I might be able to hang out with you in Boston later in the summer? How was the jazz? Was it really wild and solo-filled or more restrained and (in my opinion) better to listen to, as I tend to lean more towards the developing melodies and themes side of improvisation than show off the techsss. Good luck with finals, contact me on AIM, my computer is fixed finally
