Stuffin' my brain with Line-Ups

Well, it's been too long. I have got to keep up with this, though I've been doing pretty well with my other goals. Not much in the way of music news, except that festivals are coming out with their line-ups; almost as good as Christmas. The Flaming Lips will be covering Dark Side of the Moon, which convinced me easily to volunteer. The Flips will be (supposedly) joined by Jay Z, Dave Matthews Band, Paul Simon, and other headers, as well as the classics- Bisco, STS9, Lotus, MSTRKRFT, possibly Keller or other bluegrass big names. Any way, I've always wanted to volunteer at a festie, and it seems like Roo is the way to go as of yet. Wakarusa would be nice too, with an appearance by Zappa Plays Zappa, but it is just so far. Definitely hitting up Vibes this year, being that I'm moving back to the area.

The only other thing I have as far is music goes is my first big music writing assignment- my capstone paper! A 30 pager, and it will all be about Phish. I'm in Sociology, so I'm going to be studying the crowd, the band, the history, the culture, the gamehenge mythology, the jams, the festivals, the life. I can't wait, I'll keep you (me, basically) posted.

On to food! I made the yummiest dinner ever on Sunday! Big fight with roomie so I took all my dinner stuff out of the house and went down the street to cook with Alison. I had acorn squash, so I just cut it in half and put it in the over at 400 for an hour. I put maple syrup on one half, but it didn't do much except add calories. We made a parmesan risotto, just out of the box, and added chopped onion, green pepper, scallions, and something else, but you can add anything. It was so damn good. The squash was just really fresh and filling and the stuffing we made was warm and creamy and delicious. I would recommend this to any one at any time.

That's all I got. More soon.
