Friday night was Clutch at the Roxy, and Clutch rocked it. Club shows are so much cooler than their large arena counterparts - you're so close, the sound is better, and it's more like you're just hanging out with the band rather than a formal viewing. Man they were so tight, so on-point, so solid. Clutch is one of those bands that has a live sound much bigger than their CDs... it is definitely the way to experience them.

This weekend we went up to big bear to relax at Rad and Mandy's cabin. This means: amazing Mandy-cooking, an awesome group of people (including a pretty large Dreamworks posse), board games, movies, a night walk, drawing (and talking about drawing), sleeping bags everywhere, and an oh-so-relaxing boat rental and lake day trip. We have to go back... have to.

Tomorrow I'm off to SB for the week, then I'm on my own.
