RIP Michael Dahlquist

Michael Dahlquist, drummer of the prolific indie-rock band Silkworm, was killed Thursday in Chicago by some lady who was attempting suicide by driving into a stopped car at high speed.

I've never met the man, I have never even seen his band live, but it kind of bumbed me out. Coincidentally I just put on one of their records and then checked there for possible touring news and found this news. I've been listening to Silkworm for around five years and Michael's drumming was always one of my favourite things about the band.


UPDATE: this is a real messed up and ironic tragedy read my comments.

to Portland

This weekend will be spent in beautiful Portland, Oregon. I'm not sure what we're going to do yet but it may include voodoo doughnuts.

We have free passes to Wedding Crashers so we'll check that out tonight. It should be good.

Last weekend was spent in Eastern Washington. I had a great relaxing time. I swam in the Snake River. I wish I brought my camera. I'll make sure to bring it to Portland.
